Book excerpt: Sticks 'n Stones 'n Dinosaur Bones, the debut title in the new series of unhinged rhyming history and science books by popular illustrator Ted Enik, dinosaurs and Dr. Seuss come together in what has been called a "delirious and delightful American Tall Tale." This first book in Enik's new series is a ripping yarn - full of adventure and deceit - that brings to life the best-known public spat in all of paleontology: the bitter rivalry between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh that became known as "The Bone Wars." Lively and witty rhymes plus beautiful ("and beautifully demented," says Enik) illustrations by G. F. Newland reveal how the paleontologists' infamous rivalry began and how their mutual obsession with outdoing and ruining one another progressed. The following excerpt from Sticks 'n Stones 'n Dinosaur Bones reveals Enik's playful approach to the very serious business of revenge: Before very long, nearly quick as a cough, These Bone-Hunters' efforts began to pay off! "Well, son-of-a-gun!" boasted Marsh to his men, "This Dinosaur Egg would impress any hen!" "Well, don't that beat everything!" Dr. Cope crowed, "A big pair of Piggy-Toe Bones in the road!" As their digging went-on and they found more and more, They also found out they were both keeping score.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book in the Unhinged History series is a ripping yarn--full of adventure and deceit--that brings to life the best-known public spat in all of paleontology: the bitter rivalry between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh. This frenzy of discovery and one-upmanship--known today as the Bone Wars--was a gold rush-like scramble to find the most and "best" dinosaur fossils, thus bringing to glory to their respective home-base universities. Lively and witty rhymes plus wonderfully demented illustrations reveal how the paleontologists' infamous rivalry began, and how--despite making genuine and lasting contributions to the field--their mutual obsession with outdoing one another spun out of control.

Book excerpt: Sticks 'n Stones 'n Dinosaur Bones INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD & USA BOOK NEWS 2014 FINALIST - CHILDREN'S NON-FICTION New book for Juvenile Readers (and Dinosaur Fans of all ages) celebrates and embellishes the best-known public spat in all Paleontology: the cutthroat rivalry between Edward Cope and Charles Marsh that became known as "The Bone Wars." Sticks 'n Stones 'n Dinosaur Bones is the first book in popular illustrator Ted Enik's (and artist G.F. Newland's) "Unhinged History"series of quirky-but-true science / history books. "Sticks n Stones" is a ripping yarn, full of adventure and deceit, in which dinosaurs and Dr. Seuss come together to create a new, delirious American Tall Tale. The following excerpt reveals Enik's playful "take" on how one bone hunter hyped his discovery: 'With a day's-worth of fangs, and a week's-worth of frills, And a month's-worth of monstrously segmented gills, With detachable legs and reversible paws, And invisible wings and uncountable claws; My beast is a creature of legend and lore, An animal never on earth seen before! Behold!' bellowed Cope like a one-person chorus, 'My NeverTopThisOne-Ginormous-asaurus!"' As Sticks 'n Stones 'n Dinosaur Bones reveals, gradually these two less-than-ethical gents resorted to lying, stealing, blackmail, and even destroying fossils in order to advance their own reputations and careers. Nonetheless, as the book acknowledges: Before they went crazy and everything soured Because of them Paleontology flowered! "The writing is excellent... Adults will find the saga just as fascinating as children... The book is a fun read for kids, adults, teachers and their students. It also contains a good moral to discuss." Elizabeth Franklin, Portland Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bones, Stones and Molecules provides some of the best evidence for resolving the debate between the two hypotheses of human origins. The debate between the 'Out of Africa' model and the 'Multiregional' hypothesis is examined through the functional and developmental processes associated with the evolution of the human skull and face and focuses on the significance of the Australian record. The book analyzes important new discoveries that have occurred recently and examines evidence that is not available elsewhere. Cameron and Groves argue that the existing evidence supports a recent origin for modern humans from Africa. They also specifically relate these two theories to interpretations of the origins of the first Australians. The book provides an up-to-date interpretation of the fossil, archaeological and the molecular evidence, specifically as it relates to Asia, and Australia in particular. Readily accessible to the layperson and professional Provides concise coverage of current scientific evidence Presents a robust computer-generated model of human speciation over the last 7 million years Well illustrated with figures and photographs of important fossil specimens Presents a synthesis of great ape and human evolution

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The burnt-red badlands of Montana's Hell Creek are a vast graveyard of the Cretaceous dinosaurs that lived 68 million years ago. Those hills were, much later, also home to the Sioux, the Crows, and the Blackfeet, the first people to encounter the dinosaur fossils exposed by the elements. What did Native Americans make of these stone skeletons, and how did they explain the teeth and claws of gargantuan animals no one had seen alive? Did they speculate about their deaths? Did they collect fossils? Beginning in the East, with its Ice Age monsters, and ending in the West, where dinosaurs lived and died, this richly illustrated and elegantly written book examines the discoveries of enormous bones and uses of fossils for medicine, hunting magic, and spells. Well before Columbus, Native Americans observed the mysterious petrified remains of extinct creatures and sought to understand their transformation to stone. In perceptive creation stories, they visualized the remains of extinct mammoths, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine creatures as Monster Bears, Giant Lizards, Thunder Birds, and Water Monsters. Their insights, some so sophisticated that they anticipate modern scientific theories, were passed down in oral histories over many centuries. Drawing on historical sources, archaeology, traditional accounts, and extensive personal interviews, Adrienne Mayor takes us from Aztec and Inca fossil tales to the traditions of the Iroquois, Navajos, Apaches, Cheyennes, and Pawnees. Fossil Legends of the First Americans represents a major step forward in our understanding of how humans made sense of fossils before evolutionary theory developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Drinker Cope was a charming man with a passion for old bones. Othniel Marsh was a stickler for procedure when he studied his fossil finds. They started as friends, sharing ideas and information, but after Marsh tried to poach Cope's digging site, they became bitter enemies. Their decades-long feud fueled their desire to dig up more bones, to discover new species, and to find ever bigger and more unusual dinosaurs. Through their competition, the two men laid a far-reaching foundation for the brand-new field of palentology. A fascinating story told with an engaging narrative technique, and well complemented by period photographs and drawings, a map, a time line, and an author's note.

Book excerpt: Captivating photographs of the world’s most detailed bird fossils illuminate the early diversity of avifauna. When fossils of birds from China’s Jehol region first appeared in scientific circles, the world took notice. These Mesozoic masterpieces are between 120 and 131 million years old and reveal incredible details that capture the diversity of ancient bird life. Paleontologists all over the world began to collaborate with Chinese colleagues as new and wondrous fossil-related discoveries became regular events. The pages of National Geographic and major scientific journals described the intricate views of feathers as well as food still visible in the guts of these ancient birds. Now, for the first time, a sweeping collection of the most interesting of Jehol’s avian fossils is on display in this beautiful book. Birds of Stone makes visible the unexpected avian diversity that blanketed the earth just a short time (geologically speaking) after a dinosaur lineage gave rise to the first birds. Our visual journey through these fossils is guided by Luis M. Chiappe, a world expert on early birds, and Meng Qingjin, a leading figure in China's natural history museum community. Together, they help us understand the "meaning" of each fossil by providing straightforward narratives that accompany the full-page photographs of the Jehol discoveries. Anyone interested in the history of life—from paleontologists to inquisitive birders—will find Birds of Stone an irresistible feast for the eyes and mind.
