Book Synopsis The Terrible Lizard by : Deborah Cadbury
Download or read book The Terrible Lizard written by Deborah Cadbury and published by Holt Paperbacks. This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1812, the skeleton of a monster was discovered beneath the cliffs of Dorset, setting in motion a collision between science and religion, and among scientists eager to claim supremacy in a brand-new field. For Reverend William Buckland, an eccentric naturalist at Oxford University, the fossil remains of a creature that existed before Noah's flood inspired an attempt to prove the accuracy of the biblical record. Novelist Gideon Mantell also became obsessed with the ancient past, and eminent anatomist Richard Owen soon entered the fray, claiming credit for the discovery of the dinosaurs. In a fast-paced narrative, Terrible Lizard re-creates the bitter feud between Mantell and Owen. Revealing a strange, awesome prehistoric era, their struggle set the stage for Darwin's shattering theories -- and for controversies that still rage today.

Download or read book Terrible Lizard written by Doug Goodman and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Oak Jones. I spent ten years in the Houston Police Department, three years working beats, and seven glorious years in the Police Dinosaur Unit (PDU). I was one of those kids who loved dinosaurs growing up, and the idea of being paid to work with one sounded like the best job anyone could have, ever. Now that I'm retired from HPD, I wanted to collect some of my war stories. Everybody asks me what it's like working with a police Velociraptor. Let me be blunt: being a dinosaur handler is the most fun and rewarding job you can have in the world. The pay is horrible, and the trials and tribulations are tremendous, but I wouldn't have chosen anything else.So these memoirs are for everyone who's ever wanted to know what it's like being a Velociraptor handler. These are some of my favorite stories from that time. What surprised me more than anything was the amazing bond I made with my Velociraptor, Banshee. It was a relationship unlike any other in my life, and one that I will hold dear for all the rest of my years.You probably know that the word "dinosaur" is Latin for "terrible lizard." I thought that would make a great title for this book because while Banshee was a great working police Velociraptor, he was a terrible lizard...

Download or read book WTF, Evolution?! written by Mara Grunbaum and published by Workman Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all have our off days. Why should Evolution be any different? Maybe Evolution got carried away with an idea that was just a little too crazy—like having the Regal Horned Lizard defend itself by shooting three-foot streams of blood from its eyes. Or maybe Evolution ran out of steam (Memo to Evolution: The Irrawaddy Dolphin looks like a prototype that should have been left on the drawing board). Or maybe Evolution was feeling cheeky—a fish with hands? Joke’s on you, Red Handfish! Or maybe Evolution simply goofed up: How else to explain the overgrown teeth of the babirusas that curl backward over their face? Oops. Mara Grunbaum is a very smart, very funny science writer who celebrates the best—or, really, the worst—of Evolution’s blunders. Here are more than 100 outlandish mammals, reptiles, insects, fish, birds, and other creatures whose very existence leaves us shaking our heads and muttering WTF?! Ms. Grunbaum’s especially brilliant stroke is to personify Evolution as a well-meaning but somewhat oblivious experimenter whose conversations with a skeptical narrator are hilarious. For almost 4 billion years, Evolution has produced a nonstop parade of inflatable noses, bizarre genitalia, and seriously awkward necks. What a comedian!

Download or read book Texas Lizards written by Troy D. Hibbitts and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Texas offers the opportunity to observe lizard diversity like no other part of the country," writes Laurie J. Vitt in the foreword to Texas Lizards. From the moist eastern Piney Woods to the western deserts, lizards can be found in every part of Texas. The state has forty-five native and six naturalized species of lizards, almost half of the 115 species that live in the continental United States. Yet Texas lizards have not received full coverage in regional field guides, and no other guide dedicated solely to the state's lizards has ever been published. Texas Lizards is a complete identification guide to all fifty-one native and established exotic lizard species. It offers detailed species accounts, range maps, and excellent color photographs (including regional, gender, and age variations for many species) to aid field identification. The authors, two of the state's most knowledgeable herpetologists, open the book with a broad overview of lizard natural history, conservation biology, observation, and captive maintenance before providing a key to Texas lizards and accounts of the various lizard families and species. Appendices list species of questionable occurrence in Texas and nonestablished exotic species. Informational resources on Texas lizards, a map of Texas counties, a glossary, a bibliography, and indexes of common and scientific names round out the volume.
