Synopsis

Timber is a book written by James Rae Baterden that explores the history, science, and cultural significance of timber. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of timber. Part one delves into the history of timber, tracing its use by ancient civilizations and its role in the development of modern societies. Part two explores the science of timber, including the biology of trees, the process of harvesting and processing timber, and the environmental impact of timber production. Part three examines the cultural significance of timber, including its use in art, architecture, and design. Throughout the book, Baterden provides a comprehensive overview of the many ways in which timber has shaped human history and continues to play a vital role in our lives today. With beautiful illustrations and engaging prose, Timber is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the natural world, history, or design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
