Book excerpt: Earth's past is littered with the mysterious and unexplained: the pyramids, Easter Island, Stonehenge, dinosaurs, and the list goes on and on as science looks for clues to decipher these puzzles.One such mystery surrounds the now-extinct creature called the woolly mammoth. Author and meteorologist Michael Oard has studied the mammoth and its equally mysterious time period, the Ice Age, for many years and has come to some fascinating conclusions to help lift the fog engulfing the facts. Some of the questions he addresses include:What would cause the summer temperatures of the northern United States and European to plummet more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit?Why did mammoths become extinct across the entire earth at the same time as many other large mammals?Why are the mammoth carcasses found generally in standing positions?How could large lakes exist in what are today very dry, desert-like places?What was the source of the abnormal of moisture necessary for heavy snow?What caused the cold summer temperatures and heavy snowfall to persist for hundreds of years?In logical progression many other Ice Age topics are explained including super Ice Age floods, ice cores, man in the Ice Age, and the number of ice ages. This is one of the most difficult eras in geological history for a uniformitarian scientist (one who believes the earth evolved by slow processes over millions of years) to explain, simply because long ages of evolution cannot explain it. Provided here are plausible explanations of the seemingly unsolvable mysterious about the Ice Age and the woolly mammoths - Frozen in Time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mammoth and the Treasure Hunt," a sweet book for kids, is about a young mammoth named Max who lives in a green valley surrounded by tall mountains. Max is different from the other animals in the valley because he is always interested in new things and has big dreams. Max's best friends are Ellie the elephant, Leo the lion, Ollie the owl, and Timmy the turtle. They are a diverse group of animals, and each has its own unique traits. Max is very happy as he sits with his friends under a big oak tree on a warm morning. He talks about a vivid dream in which he saw a shiny gold chest buried deep in the mountains. His friends are interested in his dream, so they plan to go on a treasure hunt together. Max tells them about their plan and stresses that the treasure isn't just money, but also the information, lessons, and memories they'll make along the way. They will have to be brave, smart, and work together as they go on this trip through rough terrain, deep woods, and freezing streams. Along the way, they find secret caves, beautiful waterfalls, and friendly animals that tell them stories and help them find their way. Their journey is marked by puzzles, problems, and learning how important it is to work together. Ollie the owl gives Max a puzzle to solve one night around the campfire, which Max does very well. This shows that their goal isn't just about getting a physical treasure; it's also about working together to overcome problems and find solutions. They go deeper into the mountains until they reach the middle of the range and find a secret cave that is lit by a warm golden light. There, instead of gold or jewels, they find a box full of scrolls and books with stories and information from past generations. Max knows this is the treasure he had been looking for: knowledge gleaned over many years, the thrill of going on trips together, and the bond of true friendship. They gather around the box, and each of them takes out a scroll to read out loud. They are happy and laughing. They know that the journey itself and the memories they've made together are the most valuable things. As they walk back to their lush green valley, they carry the weight of new knowledge and the unbreakable value of friendship. They know that their connection will stay strong no matter where their adventures take them, helping them through all the exciting things that are yet to come. "The Mammoth and the Treasure Hunt" is a sweet story about how friendship, dreams, and shared adventures can make life more meaningful. Children learn that the most important things in life are often found on the trip and in the people, we meet along the way. Story Begins: Max, a young mammoth, lived in a beautiful green valley tucked away between tall mountains. This beautiful scenery was the setting for Max's amazing life, which made him different from the other mammoths in the valley. Max was amazing and a sign of being unique. He captured the hearts of everyone who knew him. His sheer size was amazing, and his huge frame was an ode to the beauty of the natural world. Max was unique not only because of his size, but also because of the wonder in his eyes, the thrill seeking spirit in his heart, and the dreams that grew inside him. Max was always interested in new things, so he went exploring in the valley he called home. Max would get lost in the thick forests, drawn there by the wind's whispers and the secrets hidden in the old trees. Other mammoths were happy to graze on the tasty, soft grasses. He would study the ice streams in the valley by following their winding paths with unwavering dedication. Because he was so interested in everything, every rock and flower seemed like a prize waiting to be found. He had an adventurous spirit that knew no bounds. Max would often get together with his friends, a group of different animals from the valley, and take them on exciting adventures into the unknown. They did everything from climbing the highest peaks of the nearby mountains to jumping into pools of clear water that were hidden deep in the trees. Max's excitement made his friends want to go on adventures with him because they knew any trip with him would be full of surprises and fun. But Max's dreamy heart might have been what made him unique. He had dreams that were as big as the mountains that circled the valley and as high as the birds that flew so gracefully through the sky. Max dreamed of finding lost treasures, figuring out the mysteries of the world, and making his mark on the history of time. Not only were his dreams just wild thoughts, but they were also what kept him going and gave him hope when things got hard in real life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary of this story: Milo, a young mammoth, begins an amazing trip through an ancient landscape with tall trees and wide grasslands. Milo, who is always looking for new things to do, follows a strange path that looks like it was made by a huge snake writhing through the ground. Milo can't resist the temptation, so he follows the trail, even though it means he has to leave his herd for a short time. As he goes deeper into the bush, the area around him gets darker and more mysterious. Milo's senses get better when he pays close attention to what's going on around him. He can hear the leaves rustling and sounds of many kinds coming from far away. In the middle of all these sounds, he hears a slow crawling that gives him chills. Milo will not let anything stop him from getting what he wants, and he is very determined. He finally gets to the end of the trail, where he finds a prehistoric giant snake curled up in the middle of the area. Milo and the snake had a brief moment when they both realized that they were still interested in the amazing things in their old world. They live as animals who know a lot about the old world in which they live. This is what keeps them together. Milo shows the snake respect by letting it go back to its curled-up state. Milo takes a few steps back and says, "Thanks," but he also realizes that the conversation went well. He has not only found an amazing new species, but he has also learned more about himself in the world of the past. He will never forget the experience, and it will always remind him of how many opportunities are out there for people who are brave enough to try new things. Milo's choice to go into the unknown and briefly leave his herd sets the stage for what happens next. Milo, the main character, goes on an adventure in the wilds of the past, followed by a huge snake. He decides to follow the trail without fear and keep going, which leads him to the scary animal in the end. The book talks about things like interest, bravery, friendship, and the bond that all living things have that can't be broken. Through Milo's adventures, the book shows how important it is to find and enjoy the world's treasures, to protect nature's fragile balance, and to remember the prehistoric realm's long past. When Milo and his herd are in trouble, they stick together to protect themselves from an old giant snake. This shows how much power can be found when people work together. As the story comes to a happy end, we learn more about Milo's place in old society. The reader is told of the treasures that are out there for those who are brave enough to look for them and of the spirit of the world that has always been there. Here's how the story starts: Once upon a time, Milo, a young mammoth, lived with his family in a place with tall trees and lots of grass. Milo was a curious mammoth who liked to explore and find out more about their ancient world. He had a wicked look in his eye and an attitude that made him want to try new things and go on adventures. Milo felt like his group was his family. They went on their journey together, eating the lush fields and drinking from the clear, cold watering holes. Milo's mother, Matilda, was a kind and smart woman who always kept a close eye on her rowdy calf. Max, Milo's dad, was a strong, protective figure who looked out for the well-being of the whole group. Even though they were safe and happy with their group, Milo was very interested in what was going on. He wanted to know everything about the world outside of where he lived. He was drawn to go into the unknown by the stories the wind told and the sounds of other animals in the distance. Milo was driving on a strange road one day when the sun made everything look golden. It was huge and twisting, like a huge snake had gone through the ground. Milo's eyes got bigger as he looked at the strange road in front of him. The long, deep footprints in the dirt looked like the path of a huge snake. As the giant got closer to the cave, its heart raced with a mix of excitement and worry. Who or what could have left such a big mark that is easy to spot? Milo stood at the side of the trail and looked at the tracks that went off into the distance. When he saw the marks, which were much bigger than any he had ever seen before, he was both amazed and scared. He knew right away that this wasn't just any animal. They could only have been made by something so big and strong that it could leave such big marks. Milo's eyes got big when he saw a huge snake with shiny scales come out of the darkness. It was twice as big as the rest of Milo's herd. It had sharp teeth and eyes that looked like they were on fire. When he saw it, the mammoth had no question that it was a huge snake from the past that had been told about. Milo's heart was racing with fear, but he kept his cool during the whole thing. He was well aware of how important it was to protect his sheep from this terrible beast. Milo blew a horn that could be heard throughout the countryside to call his herd together and tell them to get ready for battle. The sound of the trumpet could be heard all over the country. Milo's horn made an amazing sound that could be heard all over the prehistoric landscape. This made Milo's herd move quickly. The mammoths came out of the forests and grasslands one by one, their huge bodies coming together to make a single front. They knew that Milo's call gave them a limited amount of time and that there was danger ahead. Milo was surrounded by the herd, which made a barrier to protect him by raising their tusks high and standing up straight. Their cries matched the determination in their eyes and rang out with a mix of boldness and unity. They were ready to fight the prehistoric big serpent to protect their ecosystem and the people they cared about from the huge danger it posed. Milo moved forward; his eyes fixed on the huge animal that stood in front of them in the huge gap. Fear and energy were pumping through his body, making his heartbeat fast and hard in his chest. He knew that the fight that was coming would test their bravery and resolve, but he was determined to keep his herd safe no matter what. The huge prehistoric snake slithered forward. Its moves were graceful, but their power was scary. Its scales shone in the sun, which showed how bad the situation was. Milo's spine tingled when he saw the creature's fiery red eyes and sharp teeth, but he kept his cool and drew strength from his herd's steady support. The mammoths rushed forward with a loud roar, shaking the ground fiercely as their huge bodies moved forward. They blew huge horns and lifted their trunks into the air to make a rallying call that could be heard all over the countryside. It showed that they were sure they wanted to keep their family and home safe. During the fight, the old great serpent moved incredibly fast. Its sharp teeth stuck out in front of it, ready to tear the thick hides of the mammoths. The group, on the other hand, stood their ground and relied on their size and strength to win. Their huge tusks turned into dangerous weapons, which helped them fight off the snake's attack. Milo went to fight against the huge snake, sure that he would win. The battlefield was filled with the sound of his tusks hitting the snake's teeth. The mammoth's huge size and overwhelming strength met the snake's attack, and each blow showed the mammoth's determination and unwavering will to win. Over time, the fight turned into a dance of strength and strategy. The mammoths fought bravely and in unison, and their movements made it impossible for the enemies to get through. They charged, blew horns, and hit, not flinching in the face of the huge snake's relentless attack. On the other hand, the snake turned out to be a very scary enemy because it was smart and quick. It curled up and moved slowly before hitting with great accuracy and speed. The mammoths knew that their opponent was much stronger than them, but they still wouldn't give up. They fought hard and didn't give up. Their friendship as herders gave them the strength to keep going when things got hard. As the most important part of the battle got closer, Milo's drive grew stronger. He ran forward with all his heart, aiming his tusks at the weak spot in the snake's middle. When he struck the prehistoric giant snake, he yelled in pain and anger. Milo's huge blow slowed the snake down and made it back away. When the chance came, the other mammoths got together and attacked the huge creature in an organized way. As they swung their trunks and hit their tusks against each other, the earth shook from the weight of their fight. The prehistoric giant snake fought with a fierceness that came from nature, but the mammoths fought just as hard and were just as determined to win. Milo took the lead and moved forward because he wanted to protect his group. He tried to break down the snake's defenses with each hit of his big tusks. As he hit him with punch after punch, the ground started to shake. Every step he took showed how strong his desire was. On the other hand, the huge snake from ancient times was a dangerous foe. It responded by twisting and swirling its body in a beautiful dance of speed and strength. Its sharp teeth barely got through the thick hides of the mammoths, but the fact that they did shows how deadly it was. As the war seemed to last for days, the sun and the moon took turns watching the epic fight. Every second that went by, the huge prehistoric snake got weaker, and its hits, which were once very powerful, became less so. The mammoths stayed strong and didn't give up because they loved their surroundings and each other. Milo used all of the strength he still had to finally hit the snake hard. On the battlefield, people were determined and never gave up. The mammoths fought nonstop, and because they were so big and had strong wills, they were a terrible opponent for the huge ancient snake. They were sure that they would protect not only their country but also each other. As the fight went on, the prehistoric huge snake, which had been strong and dangerous, started to show signs of weariness. Its blows were not as strong or accurate as they used to be. As the snake moved more slowly and slowly, its sharp teeth started to lose their deadly edge. As soon as the mammoths learned they were in charge, they moved faster. Milo, the strong head of the herd, woke them up with a loud trumpet call. The scream resounded all around us like a trumpet call, strong and sure. It served as a rallying cry, getting his friends fired up and pushing them to keep going and win.

If anything, this showcase anthology proves that sometimes the female of the species can also be the most terrifying . . .
