An Offprint From The Scientific Monthly, In Their Printed Wrappers. A Complete Example, Some Edge Wear And Very Short Edge Tears. Per Wikipedia, A. E. (Andrew Ellicott) Douglass (1867 – 1962 Was An American Astronomer. He Discovered A Correlation Between Tree Rings And The Sunspot Cycle, And Founded The Discipline Of Dendrochronology, Which Is A Method Of Dating Wood By Analyzing The Growth Ring Pattern. He Started His Discoveries In This Field In 1894 When He Was Working At The Lowell Observatory. During This Time He Was An Assistant To Percival Lowell, But Fell Out With Him When His Experiments Made Him Doubt The Existence Of Artificial "Canals" On Mars And Visible Spokes On Venus. After Douglass's Analysis Of Results From The Third Beam Expedition In 1929, For The First Time In History, Dates Could Be Assigned To Southwestern Ruins With Certainty. Cliff Dwelling At Tsegi Canyon, Mesa Verde, And Canyon De Chelly Dated Back To The 13Th Century. It Was Determined That Aztec Ruin Was Constructed During A Period Ranging From 1111 To 1120. Pueblo Bonito Was Found To Be Built In The Latter Portion Of The 11Th Century. Douglass Returned To The University Of Arizona Where He Became The First Person To Formally Teach Classes In Dendrochronology. In 1937 Douglass Established The Laboratory Of Tree-Ring Research At The University Of Arizona. The A.E. Douglass Papers Are Held At The University Of Arizona Special Collections Library.[Douglass Was Elected To The American Philosophical Society In 1941. Craters On The Moon And Mars Are Named In His Honor.…
