Açıklama
"The giant sequoia : An account of the history and characteristics of the big…." by Rodney Sydes Ellsworth is a natural history and historical account written in the early 20th century. It blends science, travelogue, and advocacy to explain the giant sequoia and coast redwood—their deep antiquity, form, range, and the human history entwined with them, especially in the Mariposa Grove. Readers can expect vivid portraits of famous trees, clear distinctions between the two Sequoia species, accounts of the Sierra Nevada’s making, and a strong conservation message about threats, vandalism, and protection. The opening of this work sets out a popular-yet-faithful synthesis of scientific and literary sources, then traces the sequoia’s fossil-deep lineage, its survival through volcanic cataclysms and glaciations, and its present restriction to California’s coast and Sierra belts. It contrasts the coast redwood’s soaring height and immense timber yields with the giant sequoia’s unmatched girth
