HAVE YOU SEEN THE BIG TREES? BIG TREES.

The MAGAZINE welcomes from time to timereviews of books by other than Dartmouth menand is always glad to receive from members ofthe faculty and alumni suggestions for goodreading.

By Walter Fry and John R. White. Stanford University Press. 1930.

Within this small book of approximately one hundred pages the authors have included the drama, the romance, and the atmosphere of timelessness which is associated with the giant sequoias of the Sierras. The authors have spent many years in intimate contact with the big trees and are ideally equipped to write on the subject. The information included is that which everyone wishes to possess concerning the giant trees, whether he has seen them or merely dreams of doing so. Such topics are included as the age of the trees, their size, their birth and death, and their means of survival throughout long ages. A book which should be in the library of every lover of trees and of every believer in the movement to conserve natural resources for posterity.
