Dinosaurs: Marvels of God's Design: The Science of the Biblical Account
Tim Clarey - 2015
Dinosaurs are in the news every day, as well as viewed in museums and on science channels. Unfortunately, these portrayals always push an evolutionary agenda. This book counters those arguments with solid, accurate, and biblically-based science:Explains the latest findings in dinosaur biology, behavior, extinction, and moreCovers the complete spectrum of dinosaur-related topics, from the earliest dinosaur discoveries to debate over why they went extinctProvides a visually stunning, dynamic exploration into the history of dinosaurs through the most current discoveries few have seen before!Because of secular books and television shows, many Christians struggle to explain how dinosaurs fit in the biblical timeline. The word “dinosaur” is not found in the Bible, causing some well-meaning Christians to turn to secular science for an explanation, including more speculation than actual fact. Unfortunately, this misdirection has caused many people to lose faith in the Bible, especially the young generation. This book will restore faith in the Word of God as it connects the Bible with science. Read and discover how dinosaurs are part of God’s creative glory!

Top 10 Dinosaurs of 2014: The 10 Biggest Dinosaur Discoveries of 2014
Sabrina Ricci - 2015
Sand and grit stir it up, making it difficult for the giant predator with the 6-foot-tall sail on his back to see. He lowers his mouth into the water, his high nostrils allowing him to breathe easily while the pits on his snout feel for pressure and sense for fish swimming nearby. Nothing moves, or at least nothing worth attempting to catch. The large theropod—Spinosaurus—wades into the water. Tired from balancing his long head and neck with his short back legs, Spinosaurus relaxes as he submerges like a crocodile, flexing his flat, webbed feet in the water.” In the golden age of dinosaur discoveries, paleontologists are frequently learning about new dinosaurs and new facts about already known species. At least 14 dinosaurs made the headlines in 2014 alone. Blending fiction with fact, Top 10 Dinosaurs of 2014 reimagines the way 10 of the newly described Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs lived in their natural habitats. Featuring: The chicken from hell Anzu wyliei The American eagle-faced Aquilops americanus The long-feathered robber Changyuraptor yangi The terrible hand Deinocheirus mirificus The fear-nothing dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani The Kulinda River running dinosaur Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus The polar bear lizard Nanuqsaurus hoglundi The Pinocchio Rex Qianzhousaurus sinensis The spiny lizard Spinosaurus aegyptiacus The savage lizard Torvosaurus gurneyi Also includes a list of fun facts about each dinosaur and links to more resources!

Ancient Earth Journal: The Early Cretaceous: Notes, drawings, and observations from prehistory
Juan Carlos Alonso - 2015
By combining the latest paleontological findings with highly detailed, intimate drawings of wildlife from the Early Cretaceous, readers will look into the eyes of some of the most fascinating creatures to ever inhabit the earth. Written and illustrated in the style of a naturalist's notebook, the viewer will be given a first-hand account of what it is like to stand alongside everything from the first birds to flying dinosaurs to some of the largest creatures ever to walk the earth. Through detailed illustrations and descriptive narrative, readers will discover how some dinosaurs survived polar blizzards, while others were able to pump blood five stories high to reach their brains. While many books on prehistoric life lump dinosaurs into the general timeline of the Mesozoic Period, no book currently dissects plant and animal life during one specific period. This allows the book to explore wildlife seldom featured in publications, many of them recent discoveries. The Early Cretaceous is backed by the research of one of paleontology's most acclaimed theorists, giving the book the most up to date scientific interpretation regarding animal behaviors, interactions, and recreations."The illustrations and artistic layout are exceptionally beautiful. This is a book children will cherish, keep, and remember, and adults will be delighted to add to their collection." - Sylvia Czerkas, Author and Director The Dinosaur Museum, Utah"The illustrations are fantastic! The Nigersaurus 'grazing' is one of the nicest reconstructions of a rebbachisaurid I've ever seen." - Matthew C. Lamanna, Ph.D., Assistant Curator, Section of Vertebrate Paleontology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History"Fantastic artwork!" - Andrew Milner, Paleontologist and Curator at St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site"The art is amazing" - Phil Hore, National Dinosaur Museum, Australia"I *love* it! The style reminds me of a very cool sci-fi book that I had as a kid (and still have), Dougal Dixon's After Man: A Zoology of the Future. Dixon's book is a wonderful, lavishly illustrated introduction to evolutionary principles that helped set me on the path to becoming a professional paleontologist. I suspect your book is going to be similarly inspirational to many of today's aspiring scientists." - Matthew C. Lamanna, Ph.D., Assistant Curator, Section of Vertebrate Paleontology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History

It's not long before violence erupts on the station. The ruling council compels the warship to leave the system, but it does not leave alone. Several colonists are shanghaied, pressed into fleet service on the ship; forced into a nightmare dystopia, of injury and degradation as the ship takes them further from the home they may never see again. Treated as criminals and slaves, only the dream of eventual release and freedom keep them going. A dream that fades as colonists start falling, one by one, and rumors spread that the captain is committing acts of piracy. Tod realizes that if he is ever going to see his world again, he must escape and somehow find his way across the light years of empty space that separate him from home.
