Book Description
Did dinosaurs live millions and billions of years ago before humans or together with humans? God made every living creature in six days, both animals and humans. Fossils of dinosaurs together with humans have been found. Drawings of dinosaurs on caves have been found as well. Can the behemoth animal spoken in the book of Job be a dinosaur? How do we know they were not vegetarians? The behemoth is so strong that even a raged river can't disturb it, even when the Jordan gushes into his mouth. Vivieron los dinosaurios millones y billones de años antes que los seres humanos o juntamente con ellos? Dios creo todo ser viviente en seis días, ambos, animales y humanos. Fósiles de dinosaurios juntamente con humanos fueron encontrados. Dibujos y talladas de dinosaurios en cuevas han sido vistos también. Puede ser que el animal behemot hablado por Dios en el libro de Job un dinosaurio? El behemot es tan fuerte que aún un feroz rio no puede molestarlo, aún cuando el Jordán entra en su boca.
The Woolly Monkey
Author: Thomas R. DeflerPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1493906976

Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Woolly monkeys are large, attractive and widespread primates found throughout many parts of the Amazon basin. It is only in the last twenty-five years or so that long-term studies of woollies in their forest habitat have been successful; they have not generally been successfully kept in captivity. But now, especially because of their size, these creatures are pressed on all sides by bush meat hunters and forest fragmentation. Their future is becoming critically precarious and the editors feel that it is time to showcase these animals with a full book. The editors draw together a number of recent woolly monkey studies from three Amazonian countries, including five taxa of woolly monkeys, four of which have recently been reclassified without using new biological criteria as species rather than subspecies (Groves, 2001, 2005; Rylands & Mittermeier, 2009). This volume provides a diversity of studies by well-known researchers and advanced students on a wide range of subjects using newly generated data, including a criticism of the recent taxonomic changes. The varied information contained within The Woolly Monkey: Behavior, Ecology, Systematics and Captive Research will help readers understand these handsome animals and will, we hope, energize them to contribute to their conservation.

Book Description
"Vaclav Smil is my favorite author… Numbers Don't Lie takes everything that makes his writing great and boils it down into an easy-to-read format. I unabashedly recommend this book to anyone who loves learning."--Bill Gates, GatesNotes From the author of How the World Really Works, an essential guide to understanding how numbers reveal the true state of our world--exploring a wide range of topics including energy, the environment, technology, transportation, and food production. Vaclav Smil's mission is to make facts matter. An environmental scientist, policy analyst, and a hugely prolific author, he is Bill Gates' go-to guy for making sense of our world. In Numbers Don't Lie, Smil answers questions such as: What's worse for the environment--your car or your phone? How much do the world's cows weigh (and what does it matter)? And what makes people happy? From data about our societies and populations, through measures of the fuels and foods that energize them, to the impact of transportation and inventions of our modern world--and how all of this affects the planet itself--in Numbers Don't Lie, Vaclav Smil takes us on a fact-finding adventure, using surprising statistics and illuminating graphs to challenge conventional thinking. Packed with fascinating information and memorable examples, Numbers Don't Lie reveals how the US is leading a rising worldwide trend in chicken consumption, that vaccination yields the best return on investment, and why electric cars aren't as great as we think (yet). Urgent and essential, with a mix of science, history, and wit--all in bite-sized chapters on a broad range of topics--Numbers Don't Lie inspires readers to interrogate what they take to be true.
