`The book should be read by anyone who wants a good read; or anyone who dreads finding wood on a site; or anyone who once dug up some wood and realised, too late, that they didn't know what could be done with it. Mike Baille has retained his sense of fun and glories in the problems that the study of chronology throws up.' - The Field Archaeologist `The story of dendrochronology with many interesting case studies employed as pertinent illustrations of problems presently occupyng research investigation makes a gripping and informative read, which is to be recommended to all interested in the absolute dating of prehistory, not only in Western Europe, but around the world.' - Joan Taylor, Department of Archaeology, University of Liverpool `This is an excellent and clearly written book' - New Scientist
