		British historian and photographer Thomas Pakenham has spent the last decade investigating the lives of the world's most dramatic trees — many of which are in danger of destruction.
		Some of these trees were already famous — champions by girth, height, mass or age — while others had never previously been caught by the camera.
		They span most of the temperate and many of the tropical regions of the world — from Europe to the remote regions of Mexico, Asia, northern and southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

	How Trees Changed The World
		The effect of the evolution of trees (large vascular plants with deep, extensive roots) changed the world for ever, according to Dr Robert Berner (Yale University).
		Trees also produced, for the first time, large amounts of lignin - the major constituent of wood.
		The effect of deforestation on the modern world climate cannot therefore be underestimated at a time when global liberation of gaseous CO2 (through the burning of carbon fixed and buried in the Earth's distant past) is at an all-time high.

	TULARE COUNTY / Nurturing giant sequoias / An intense debate rages over what's best for the world's largest trees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Back in 1839, a monograph describing "incredibly large" redwood trees was published by an early Sierra explorer, but giant sequoias didn't receive wide publicity until a gold miner, A.T. Dowd, stumbled on a grove in 1852.
		Young sequoias, varying in age from a few years to a few decades, have taken advantage of the light streaming through the canopy, and are shooting for the sky.
		At the heart of the debate is the essential quality of the sequoia groves: The great trees have captured the human heart because they embody immutability in a chaotic world.
