Understanding how we pinpoint the past is crucial to putting the
present in perspective and planning for the future. Now, for the
first time, journalist and geologist Chris Turney explains to the
non-specialist exactly how archaeologists, paleontologists, and
geologists "tell the time." Each chapter explores one famous event
or object from the past, walking readers step by step through the
detective work used to determine when things happened. From the Ice
Age to the pyramids, from human evolution to the Shroud of Turin,
Turney reveals how written records, carbon, pollen, constellations,
DNA sequencing, and more all play a part in solving the mystery of
the true age of objects and events. As we struggle to manage
current environmental threats and conservation troubles, we ignore
or misunderstand these techniques and their results at our peril.
