An illustrated introduction to dinosaurs takes young readers on a tour of the Mesozoic era, revealing how these ancient reptiles lived, moved, reared their young, and much more.
They died in vast numbers, eight million men and women driven forward in suicidal charges, shattered by German shells and tanks. They were the soldiers of the Red Army, an exhausted mass of recruits who confronted Europe's most lethal fighting force and by 1945 had defeated it. For sixty years, their experiences were suppressed, replaced by patriotic propaganda. We know how the soldiers died, but nearly nothing about how they lived, how they saw the world, or why they fought. In this ambitious, revelatory history, Catherine Merridale uncovers the harrowing story of who these soldiers were, and how they lived and died during the war.
Learn tons about dinosaurs including when they lived, where they lived, who named them, their sizes and sounds. Have fun listening to the children’s choir singing factual songs about all kinds of dinosaurs and even adding some silly songs along the way. All original songs, they are upbeat, singable, informational, and have some great sound effects. Dinosaur fans love this!
This book presents an account of the architecture of a selection of ancient cities not merely from the historical point of view, but as an expression of the social organisation, and political systems employed by those who lived in them. Professor Tomlinson examines a representative selection of Greek and Roman cities, looking specifically at their architectural remains.
This book will show you spectacular beaches, waterfalls, floating markets, majestic temples, ancient ruins, national parks, palaces, and traditional villages. We'll lead you to amazing restaurants, and even take you elephant trekking in the Northern Hills. You'll also rely on us to guide you through the confusing, bustling, but intriguing city of Bangkok (our author, who lived there while writing this guide, knows it intimately, and discovered all sorts of hidden surprises). With Frommer's in hand, you'll experience all the wonder of Thailand!
