Cottonwood and the River of Time looks at how scientists have unraveled the puzzles of the natural world. With a lifetime of work in forestry and genetics to guide him, Reinhard Stettler celebrates both what has been learned and what still remains a mystery as he examines not only cottonwoods but also trees more generally, their evolution, and their relationship to society. By offering lessons in how nature works, as well as how science can help us understand it, he illuminates connections between the physical, biological, and social worlds. Reinhard Stettler is professor emeritus of forestry at UW.
