Hardcover. This book presents guidance, theory, methodologies, and case studies for analyzing tree rings to accurately date and interpret historic buildings and landscapes. Written by two long-time practitioners in the field of dendrochronology, the research is grounded in the fieldwork data of approximately 200 structures and landscapes. By scientifically analyzing the tree rings of historic timbers, preservationists can obtain valuable information about construction dates, interpret the evolution of landscapes and buildings over time, identify species and provenance, and gain insight into the species matrix of local forests. Authors Darrin L. Rubino and Christopher Baas demonstrate, through full-color illustrated case studies and methodologies, how this information can be used to interpret the history of buildings and landscapes and assist preservation decision-making. Over 1,000 samples obtained from more than 40 buildings, including high style houses, vernacular log houses, and timber frame barns, are reported. This book will be particularly relevant for students, instructors, and professional readers interested in historic preservation, cultural landscapes, museum studies, archaeology, and dendrochronology globally. This book presents guidance, theory, case studies and methodologies for analysing tree-rings to accurately date and help preserve historic buildings and landscapes. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

Darrin L. Rubino is a Professor of Biology at Hanover College, USA. He joined the Hanover faculty in 2002. He is a graduate of Thiel College (1995) and earned his Masters from Clarion University of Pennsylvania (1997) and PhD from Ohio University (2002). He has been a member of the Indiana Academy of Science since 2002. In addition to serving as the President of the Academy, Darrin served as Chair and Vice Chair of the Academy’s Botany Section on several occasions. He became a Fellow of the Academy in 2013. Darrin is a forest ecologist and studies wood decay, vascular plant community composition, non-native plants, and woody debris (dead and down trees). His main research interest is dendrochronology, the study of tree rings. He uses patterns of tree rings to understand the influence of historic human impacts and natural processes on forest structure, function, and composition. In 2007, 2012, and 2018 Darrin was awarded the Arthur and Ilene Baynham Award for Outstanding Teaching at Hanover College, and he won the College’s Daryl R. Karns Award for Scholarly and Creative Activity in 2014.

He is a graduate of Ball State University (1988) and earned his Masters from the University of Wisconsin–Madison (1996). He teaches planning and design studios, as well as historic preservation and landscape restoration courses. Christopher’s scholarly focus is documenting and interpreting historic cultural landscapes. He is interested in the work of early 20th-century landscape architect George Kessler’s park and boulevard design of Hoosier cities, and Danish landscape architect Jen Jensen’s conservation of the Indiana dunes. Baas is also active in the documentation and interpretation of southeast Indiana’s 19th-century culture of growing, pressing, and shipping hay.
