Download or read book Time Traveler written by Michael Novacek and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2003-03-15 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunting for fossils with a preeminent guide and teacher Michael Novacek, a world-renowned paleontologist who has discovered important fossils on virtually every continent, is an authority on patterns of evolution and on the relationships among extinct and extant organisms. Time Traveler is his captivating account of how his boyhood enthusiasm for dinosaurs became a lifelong commitment to vanguard science. He takes us with him as he discovers fossils in his own backyard in Los Angeles, then goes looking for them in the high Andes, the black volcanic mountains of Yemen, and the incredibly rich fossil badlands of the Gobi desert. Wherever Novacek goes he searches for still undiscovered evidence of what life was like on Earth millions of years ago. Along the way he has almost drowned, been stung by deadly scorpions, been held at gunpoint by a renegade army, and nearly choked in raging dust storms. Fieldwork is very demanding in a host of unusual, dramatic, sometimes hilarious ways, and Novacek writes of its alluring perils with affection and discernment. But Time Traveler also makes sense of many complex themes - about dinosaur evolution, continental drift, mass extinctions, new methods for understanding ancient environments, and the evolutionary secrets of DNA in fossil organisms. It is also an enthralling adventure story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary about this story: A group of young dinosaurs lived an amazing life in a valley with lots of green plants. They weren't just any dinosaurs; they were the Dino Squad, time travelers who had found a secret path under the roots of an old oak tree. This tree could take them to many places, and their travels were just about to start. Their first trip took them back to the time of the dinosaurs, where they saw huge predators, beautiful scenery, and deep mysteries. They were scared at first, but quickly saw how beautiful and grand this world was. Courage, wisdom, and friendship became their driving values as they went through hard times, made close friends, and accepted their new mission. They were moving when they came across a nest of baby dinosaurs. They wanted to help these amazing creatures find their way back to their parents. The Dino Squad, as they were called, went on a dangerous trip where they had to cross raging rivers and stay away from hungry pterosaurs. As they faced each problem, they got stronger and closer as friends. This made their goal of teaching courage, knowledge, and friendship even more important. One fateful night, as they sat around a campfire, they saw a shaky way back to their own time. They asked Trixie, an old and wise Triceratops, for advice. She told them how to keep the link stable. They needed three special gems, called the gems of Courage, Wisdom, and Friendship, to be spread out across the land. On their journey, they went to dangerous places, like a cave guarded by a wild Allosaurus and a steep mountain where they met a smart Brachiosaurus named Bertie. In the green valley of peace, they found the Crystal of Friendship and learned how important it is to work together and be friendly. They took all three gems back to the old oak tree and fixed the opening there. They said goodbye to the land of dinosaurs with tears in their eyes, taking with them that they had learned about being brave, wise, and friendly. They all lived by these rules in their beautiful, green valley, which made it a peaceful place to live. But their adventures did not end there. The Dino Squad knew that with bravery, smart, and friendship, they could deal with any problem. Their goal kept going as they looked into the past and the future. Just like dinosaurs did in the past, they left their mark on the world. The Dino Squad's trip became a legendary story that shows how strong these ideas are over time. As they set out into the unknown, they promised to spread courage, knowledge, and friendship wherever they went, leaving a legacy that would inspire future generations. How the story started: A rare group of baby dinosaurs grew up in a beautiful, green valley, where they lived among tall plants and old cycads. These dinosaurs were not like other dinosaurs; they were extraordinary in every way. Their lives were filled with the colors of curiosity and excitement, which made them different from their valley friends. But what made these young dinosaurs stand out was that they knew a secret that made their hearts race and their imaginations soar: they could move through time. The valley itself was a beautiful haven, like a prehistoric Eden, with clear streams running through it and emerald-colored plants as far as the eye could see. The valley was filled with the beautiful sounds of singing insects and birds, and tall palm trees gently swayed in the warm, fragrant breeze. This amazing group of dinosaurs was born here, in a place that has always been beautiful. These young dinosaurs were filled with a sense of wonder that went beyond what they normally did. While most of the people who lived in the valley were happy to graze and relax in the shade, this unique group couldn't get enough excitement. Every day was a new adventure, whether it was finding secret waterfalls, navigating mysterious caves, or playing complicated hide-and-seek among the ancient ferns. But there was one journey that was different from the others. They found out about the secret by accident, but it took them on the most amazing trip of their lives. Deep in the middle of their valley, at the base of a twisted and tall oak tree, was a secret tunnel that led to different times. This old oak tree had roots that went deep into the ground and branches that reached so far up that they might have touched the fabric of time. One of the young dinosaurs bumped into an old oak tree while playing their favorite game of hide-and-seek on a sunny afternoon. In an instant, they were taken to a planet that was around millions of years before their time. When they found themselves surrounded by huge beasts, they had only heard about it in bedtime tales, they were scared at first. The huge Tyrannosaurus rex, the tall Brachiosaurus, and the heavily protected Ankylosaurus all lived in the same old area. But as they went deeper into this ancient world, their fear turned into awe. They were amazed by the power of these huge animals, as well as by how big they were and how beautiful the scenery was around them. They walked through lush jungles with the sounds of exotic birds and rustling leaves. They found peaceful prehistoric lakes that sparkled in the golden light and gasped when they saw dinosaurs walking around freely, as if time hadn't changed them. It didn't take these young time travelers long to figure out that they weren't just going through. They made friends with the people who lived in this old land because they were curious and liked to try new things. They learned how to get food from herbivorous dinosaurs, who showed them the best places to eat and taught them how to avoid the most dangerous enemies. They were wandering the deep jungle one amazing day when they found a nest of baby dinosaurs. These tiny animals were so cute, with their tiny horns and squeaky sounds. The young time travelers couldn't bear to leave them on their own, so they stayed to guard and guide them. Their goal was to get the dinosaur babies back to their parents, which was a hard and touching journey. As they went through the wilderness on their mission, they faced a number of dangerous situations. They had to cross dangerous, roaring rivers. Some dinosaurs used their long necks to build bridges, while others moved quickly and deftly through the dangerous water. They used their brains and worked together to outsmart the hungry pterosaurs that were looking for food in the sky.

Download or read book Time Travelers written by Adelene Buckland and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorians, perhaps more than any Britons before them, were diggers and sifters of the past. Though they were not the first to be fascinated by history, the intensity and range of their preoccupations with the past were unprecedented and of lasting importance. The Victorians paved the way for our modern disciplines, discovered the primeval monsters we now call the dinosaurs, and built many of Britain’s most important national museums and galleries. To a large degree, they created the perceptual frameworks through which we continue to understand the past. Out of their discoveries, new histories emerged, giving rise to fresh debates, while seemingly well-known histories were thrown into confusion by novel tools and methods of scrutiny. If in the eighteenth century the study of the past had been the province of a handful of elites, new technologies and economic development in the nineteenth century meant that the past, in all its brilliant detail, was for the first time the property of the many, not the few. Time Travelers is a book about the myriad ways in which Victorians approached the past, offering a vivid picture of the Victorian world and its historical obsessions.
