Author Description

Excerpt from El Palacio, Vol. 20: February 15, 1926 The drama of life is no less clearly expressed. Here are plants that have successfully adapted themselves to a changing world and survived. By means of delicate instruments in desert labora tories, the response of plants to the influences of soil and sunlight and temperature every hour in the day and every day in the year, is observed and recorded. Forests tell the story of advance and recession, and the tree rings measure clim atic pulsations. A vast extinct fauna, together with a wealth of living species, tell of the strug gle under the inexorable law Adapt or die.
