What began as a hunting trip to British Columbia's Northern Rockies in 2000 turns into one of the province's most important fossil finds – the Monroe Dinosaur Trackway in Kakwa Provincial Park. In Sidetracked: The Struggle for BC's Fossils, Vivien Lougheed tells the fascinating tale of the trackway's discovery and, in the telling, weaves in stories of other major fossil finds in British Columbia and across North America, many of which demonstrate...

"When the twelve-year-old daughter of a British carpenter pulled some strange-looking bones from the country's southern shoreline in 1811, few people dared to question that the Bible told the accurate history of the world. But Mary Anning had in fact discovered the 'first' ichthyosaur, and over the next seventy-five years--as the science of paleontology developed, as Charles Darwin posited radical new theories of evolutionary biology, and as scholars...

1 Timothy 6:20 Did you grow up in public school being taught that the earth is Billions of years old? And that the Dinosaurs went extinct 65 MILLION years ago? Do you believe that you came from some "pre-biotic soup" that somehow came alive? Do you think you have a common ancestor with a chimp? In this book "An Overwhelming Case For The Biblical Worldview" Justin heaps upon the reader hundreds of arguments and evidences that confirm Christianity to...

The Foundations of Paleontology Unearthing the History of Life takes readers on a journey through the ancient history of our planet, exploring the origins and evolution of life as uncovered by the science of paleontology. This comprehensive volume is designed for both enthusiasts and scholars, offering a detailed yet accessible study of Earth's deep past, the processes that shaped it, and the fossils that tell its story.

Dinosaurs of Darkness opens a doorway to a fascinating former world, between 100 million and 120 million years ago, when Australia was far south of its present location and joined to Antarctica. Dinosaurs lived in this polar region. How were the polar dinosaurs discovered? What do we now know about them? Thomas H. Rich and Patricia Vickers-Rich, who have played crucial roles in their discovery, describe how they and others collected the fossils indispensable...

An essential introduction to the age of dinosaurs in Africa. Once Africa was referred to as the ''Lost World of the dinosaur era,'' so poorly known were its ancient flora and fauna. Worse still, many priceless fossil specimens from the Sahara Desert were destroyed during the Second World War. Fortunately, in the twentieth-first century, more researchers are now working in north Africa than ever before and making fascinating discoveries such as the...

Dinosaur Tracks from Brazil is the first full-length study of dinosaurs in Brazil. Some 500 dinosaur trackways from the Cretaceous period still remain in the Rio do Peixe basins of Brazil, making it one of the largest trackways in the world. Veteran paleontologists Giuseppe Leonardi and Ismar de Souza Carvalho painstakingly document and analyze each track found at 37 individual sites and at approximately 96 stratigraphic levels. Richly illustrated...

"In the early 1800s the world was a safe and cozy place. But then a twelve-year-old farm boy in Massachusetts stumbled on a row of fossilized three-toed footprints the size of dinner plates-the first dinosaur tracks ever found. Soon, in England, Victorians unearthed enormous bones--bones that reached as high as a man's head. No one had ever seen such things. Outside of myths and fairy tales, no one had even imagined that creatures like three-toed...

"One of the twentieth century's great paleontologists and science writers, Stephen Jay Gould was, for Bruce S. Lieberman and Niles Eldredge, also a close colleague, mentor, and friend. In Macroevolutionaries, they take up the tradition of Gould's acclaimed essays on natural history, offering a series of wry and insightful reflections on the fields to which they have devoted their careers. Lieberman and Eldredge explore the major features of evolution,...
