Inhaltsangabe:
Here is the story of the oldest living sequoia -- possibly the oldest living thing on earth -- whose wondrous life spans the Trojan war (it was 150 years old and 75 feet high when the Greeks delivered their gift horse), the coming of the Buddha, Christ, and Mohammed (by then, two thousand years old, over 270 feet high), the settling of America, and the 1996 Presidential election. Yes, it's still growing, high up in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. Like a unique biological time-line, While a Tree Was Growing juxtaposes the life of a single tree with a chronology of world events to narrate 3,500 years of history, natural science, anthropology, and more. Large, generously illustrated two-page spreads are flanked by columns, with historic milestones on the left and a growth chart recording the treeís progress on the right. Stitched into the middle of the book is a fold-out 11O x 33O poster. Illustrated by Daniel O'Leary.
Von der hinteren Coverseite:
WHILE THE YOUNG TREE WEATHERS ANOTHER WINTER, KING TUT BECOMES RULER OF EGYPT
A unique chronicle combining history, biology, Native American folklore, and more, WHILE A TREE WAS GROWING tells the story of one giant sequoia and the key events that have occurred during its lifetime. Here it is as a sapling, struggling to hold its place in the forest, while the Chinese are beginning to develop writing; fifteen centuries later, when Jesus is born, it is a full-grown sequoia, over 200 feet tall; and when the first settlers cross the Sierra Nevada, this fire-scarred survivor has lived for over three thousand years. Full-page, full color paintings throughout evoke the life of the tree and its animal neighbors, while illustrations and photographs accompany the time-line narration. A pull-out poster is included with the book.
