the lord of the rings: a reader's companion (2005) is a nonfiction book written by scholars wayne g. hammond and christina scull. it is an annotated reference to j. r. r. tolkien's "the lord of the rings". hammond and scull proceed chapter-by-chapter from the original foreword through to the end of "the lord of the rings". appendices, examining the evolution of the text, changes, inconsistencies, and errors, often using comments from tolkien's own notes and letters. other sections cover the numerous maps of middle-earth, chronologies of the story and its writing, and notes on the book and jacket design of the first editions of 1954-55. the book includes some previously unpublished material by tolkien. it also reprints part of a 1951 letter in which tolkien explicates, at some length, his conception and vision of "the lord of the rings". reprinted for the first time since 1980, and corrected and expanded, is tolkien's "nomenclature of the lord of the rings" (previously referred to as "guide to the names in the lord of the rings"), an index of persons, places, and things designed to aid the translator in rendering tolkien's work into foreign languages. it is available in both hardcover and paperback.

dendrochronology is the science of dating and study of annual rings in trees. a tree in temperate and colder climates typically will grow one new ring every year, therefore the age of the tree can theoretically be determined by counting the number of rings present. the problem lies in the fact that some years, particularly in years of drought, a tree will not grow an annual ring. in other years where the growing season is interrupted a tree may grow a second false ring. the trees rings are commonly measured by taking a series of core samples. a borer is used to extract a pencil-size diameter or smaller core from a living tree or from a log. for downed and dead trees a disk section or "tree cookie" may also be taken, these are polished, the rings identified, and the number of rings and the distance between each are recorded. by comparing rings from multiple trees, through cross-dating, a dendrochronologists can determine if rings are missing or if false rings are present. through this process the tree ring record can be used to investigate past climatic conditions. tropical trees often lack annual rings and ages for these trees can be measured using radiocarbon dating of wood samples from the trees.
