Frozen time (626 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Ice Age is one of the most difficult eras in geological history for a uniformitarian (those who believe the earth evolved by slow processes over millions of years ) scientist to explain, simply because long ages of evolution cannot explain it. Many mysterious questions about the Ice Age arise: What would cause the summer temperatures of the northern United States and Europe to plummet over 50 degrees Fahrenheit? What was the source of the abnormal amount of moisture necessary for heavy snow? What caused the cold summer temperatures and heavy snowfall to persist for hundreds of years? Why did mammoths become extinct, not only in Siberia, but also across the earth, and at the same time as many other large mammals? How could their remains still have partially decayed food in their stomachs? Author Michael Oard gives plausible explanations of the seemingly unsolvable mysteries about the Ice Age and the woolly mammoths in this intriguing new book. 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. 176 pages 6 x 9 Paper.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. A dazzling introduction to paleoclimatology for kids, connecting the methods that scientists use to study our climate history with future climate change solutions. Believe it or not, ice isn't always just frozen water.  In fact, most of the ice covering our planet contains thousands of years' worth of information about our atmosphere. This ice is made up of a lot more than snow--it has soot, volcanic ash, gasses, and other substances that affect the climate.  And if we drill a piece of that ice? We get a frozen time capsule, courtesy of Earth.  In this exhilarating middle grade nonfiction book by a former educator, kids are immersed in the field of paleoclimatology. Readers go along on an ice core expedition, run through each step in the collecting and transporting process, review the fascinating components of an ice core, and explore the specialized labs where scientists examine them. But these pieces of our planet are more than just cool records. By preserving and studying these frosty collections of climate history, we can learn from previous patterns and better protect our planet in the future. The final chapter focuses on ice as a key tool in the fight against climate change. With crystal-clear explanations and an engaging, kid friendly tone, the book features 15+ full-color photographs, diagrams, interviews with paleoclimatologists, a glossary of terms, and simple experiments for budding scientists at home. Books for a Better Earth are designed to inspire children to become active, knowledgeable participants in caring for the planet they live on.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * "CHILLING . WILL KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT TURNING PAGES."--The Chicago Tribune This "remarkable piece of forensic deduction" (MARGARET ATWOOD) "captures the excitement and peril of the explorers' harrowing journey" aboard the HMS Erebus, and offers "a compelling explanation of what might have transpired over their final weeks and days (including, in a final act of desperation, cannibalism). It's a serious historical work, but also a riveting account of a truly extraordinary expedition." (THE NEW YORK TIMES) In 1845, Sir John Franklin and his men set out to "penetrate the icy fastness of the north, and to circumnavigate America." And then they disappeared. The truth about what happened to Franklin's ill-fated Arctic expedition was shrouded in mystery for more than a century. Then, in 1984, Owen Beattie and his team exhumed two crew members from a burial site in the North for forensic evidence, to shocking results. But the most startling discovery didn't come until 2014, when a team commissioned by the Canadian government uncovered Erebus, the lost ship. Frozen in Time is a riveting deep dive into one of the most famous shipwrecks of all time, and the team of brilliant scientists that unleashed its secrets from the ice. It offers a thrilling account of Franklin's doomed Arctic expedition, and the scientific investigation that spurred the decades-long hunt for its recovery--now with a new afterword on the discovery of its lost ships: Erebus and Terror.…
