What is the Turin Shroud? When were the Pyramids built? Why did the dinosaurs die out? How did the Earth take shape? With questions like these, says Chris Turney, time is of the essence. And understanding how we pinpoint the past, he cautions, is crucial to putting the present in perspective and planning for the future.
A scientific journalist explains to lay readers how archaeologists, paleontologists, and geologists establish the time periods of past events and objects, in a step-by-step account that demystifies investigative dating processes, from written records and carbon dating to DNA sequencing and constellation charting, of such artifacts and periods as the pyramids, the Shroud of Turin, and the Ice Age.
