Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A tour de force…highlights the odd reptiles that roamed all corners of the earth millions of years ago.”—Sydney Morning Herald From the outback of Australia to the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and the savanna of Madagascar, the award-winning science writer and dinosaur enthusiast John Pickrell embarks on a world tour of new finds, meeting the fossil hunters who work at the frontier of discovery. He reveals the dwarf dinosaurs unearthed by an eccentric Transylvanian baron; an aquatic, crocodile-snouted carnivore bigger than T. rex that once lurked in North African waterways; a Chinese dinosaur with wings like a bat; and a Patagonian sauropod so enormous it weighed more than two commercial jet airliners. Other surprising discoveries hail from Alaska, Siberia, Canada, Burma, and South Africa. Why did dinosaurs grow so huge? How did they spread across the world? Did they all have feathers? What do sauropods have in common with 1950s vacuum cleaners? The stuff of adventure movies and scientific revolutions, Weird Dinosaurs examines the latest breakthroughs and new technologies that are radically transforming our understanding of the distant past. “This history of the discovery of some of the most outlandish creatures that ever lived, and the excitement of paleontological research, will be sure to both entertain and instruct.”—Spencer Lucas, author of Dinosaurs: The Textbook, Sixth Edition “Fascinating.... Readers learn of beautiful opalised dinosaur bones from Australia and a crested dinosaur found approximately 13,000 feet up Antarctica's Mt. Kirkpatrick, demonstrating that dinosaurs were widely distributed across the globe.”—Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost World of the Dinosaurs Summary of this Story: The narrative focuses on Emily, a young girl who is fascinated by dinosaurs. She spends countless hours reading about and studying images of them, but she yearns to observe them in their natural habitats. She uncovers a map of a small island titled "The Lost World of the Dinosaurs" in one of her books one day. She embarks on an expedition to investigate the island and encounters numerous prehistoric creatures along the way. Emily confronts numerous dangers during her adventure, including a close encounter with a T-Rex. However, she also uncovers the incredible beauty and wonder of the natural world, developing a profound respect for the creatures she meets and a dedication to conservation efforts. The narrative of Emily serves as a reminder of the significance of exploration and preservation in the natural world. Despite the difficulties and dangers, she encounters on the island, she emerges stronger and more determined than ever to protect the extraordinary creatures that captivated her imagination. Emily's journey teaches her the significance of respecting nature and the need for conservation efforts to protect the world's delicate ecosystems. The Tale Begins: Once upon a time, a young girl named Emily had an insatiable fascination with reptiles. She would spend hours poring over literature and images of these prehistoric animals, captivated by their size, strength, and distinctive characteristics. Her passion for dinosaurs was so intense that she even imagined seeing them in person one day. Emily's fixation with dinosaurs never diminished as she aged. In fact, its strength only increased. She began to study paleontology, read scientific publications, and attend lectures to gain as much knowledge as possible about these incredible creatures. Emily was once immersed in a particularly captivating dinosaur book when she noticed something odd. On the back cover of the book was a map of the globe, and in one corner was a tiny island labeled "The Lost World of the Dinosaurs." Emily was intrigued. She had never heard of such a place before, and she could not believe that dinosaurs still wandered an island somewhere in the world. Emily was obsessed with the prospect of a real-life "Lost World" inhabited by dinosaurs. She decided to conduct some investigation to learn more about this mysterious island. Emily discovered a few allusions to "The Lost World of the Dinosaurs" after searching the internet and reading through her extensive dinosaur book collection. According to these sources, "The Lost World of the Dinosaurs" was an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean. Dinosaurs that somehow managed to survive extinction and continue living in their natural habitat were said to inhabit the island. Emily was both delighted and dubious. She could not accept the possibility that dinosaurs still existed in the world, but she could not deny the possibility. She knew she had to witness it firsthand. Emily spent the next few months planning her journey to "The Lost World of the Dinosaurs." She read every book and article she could find on the subject and contacted paleontologists and dinosaur experts for advice. Emily was finally prepared to embark on her expedition. She packed her bags with all the essentials, including food, water, camping gear, and her extensive collection of dinosaur literature. She boarded a small aircraft that would transport her to a nearby island, where she would need to board a small boat to reach "The Lost World." Emily finally arrived on the remote island that was rumored to be the entrance to "The Lost World," where she encountered a local guide who agreed to take her to the island by boat. As they traversed the Pacific Ocean, Emily could not help but feel both anxious and exhilarated. She was about to embark on a rare expedition, and she was uncertain of what to anticipate. Emily felt a rush of exhilaration and anticipation as she stepped onto the shore of the island that was said to be "The Lost World of the Dinosaurs." She was aware that she was about to witness something extraordinary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a hundred years ago, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a novel called The Lost World with the exciting premise that dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts still ruled in South America. Little did Conan Doyle know, there were terrifying monsters in South America--they just happened to be extinct. In fact, South America has an incredible history as a land where many strange creatures evolved and died out. In his book Giants of the Lost World: Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Monsters of South America, Donald R. Prothero uncovers the real science and history behind this fascinating story. The largest animal ever discovered was the huge sauropod dinosaur Argentinosaurus, which was about 130 feet long and weighed up to 100 tons. The carnivorous predator Giganotosaurus weighed in at more than 8 tons and measured more than 47 feet long, dwarfing the T. rex in comparison. Gigantic anacondas broke reptile records; possums evolved into huge saber-toothed predators; and ground sloths grew larger than elephants in this strange, unknown land. Prothero presents the scientific details about each of these prehistoric beasts, provides a picture of the ancient landscapes they once roamed, and includes the stories of the individuals who first discovered their fossils for a captivating account of a lost world that is stranger than fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This storybook is a HISTORICAL FICTION. It is about how DINOSAURS and MAN who co-existed in the same period of time. How MAN won over the difficult hardships, trials and survived in the good old days. The existence of DINOSAURS and other beasts experienced challenges against the constant ever-changing landscape, habitats and eating habits throughout the centuries. The epic struggles and the survival of DINOSAURS and MAN against unpredictable and inclement weather patterns at the time while trying to live in peace and harmony. A period when MAN has to endure hard work and patience with its own people, attitude and customs. Both DINOSAURS and MAN experienced deep sorrow in the loss of loved ones. It is the success of MAN over the community with the use of their mind and intellect. MAN has to overcome adversity to improve their livelihood throughout the ages. The progress of MAN has to undergo to claim prosperity is by believing in one universal GOD. And as recognized by MAN, a Peninsula by the bay looks like the SLEEPING DINOSAUR. KIRKUS REVIEW “A retelling of the Filipino Legend of the Sleeping Dinosaur, wrapped in the debut middle-grade historical novel. Millions of years ago, glacial movements and meteorites shaped what would be the islands of Southeast Asia. Dinosaurs lived on these islands, Barnes explains, roaming about islands like the Philippines and learning to survive in a constantly changing world. There were earthquakes, storms, volcanoes and avalanches, but the dinosaurs (and the animals they fed upon) evolved along these disasters. The creatures of the region generally lived in peace and harmony but when humans came along (it’s necessary to suspend disbelief here as humans and dinosaurs did not live in the same era), things started to change. Using their common sense and evolved brains, the people began to take over the very spots where the dinosaurs lived, eating their food and usurping their land. After a particularly bloody (and imaginatively gory) feeding frenzy during which the dinosaurs interrupted a picnic on the beach and devoured several men, the islanders decided to take revenge and eradicate the dinosaurs from their corner of the world. They succeeded, except for one dinosaur - a large female that was roaming in search of her child. Lost and alone, this dinosaur eventually died in the forest, where grass and trees and leaves covered her body. This ridge formed its own peninsula, dubbed the “Sleeping Dinosaur” peninsula, where it still lies today. Barnes’ folk tale has heart and the story of how this peninsula came to be is interesting . . .”

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.
