Schiffer Publishing Ltd Sticks n Stones n Dinosaur Bones
Book SynopsisAn infamous feud between fossil hunters is spun into a Dr. Seussinspired American tale in this playfulintroduction to fossil hunting based on an actual historical event. This first book in the Unhinged History series is a ripping yarnfull of adventure and deceitthat brings to life the best-known public spat in all of paleontology: the bitter rivalry between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh. This frenzy of discovery and one-upmanshipknown today as the Bone Warswas a gold rushlike scramble to find the most and best dinosaur fossils, thus bringing to glory to their respective home-base universities. Lively and witty rhymes plus wonderfully demented illustrations reveal how the paleontologists' infamous rivalry began, and howdespite making genuine and lasting contributions to the fieldtheir mutual obsession with outdoing one another spun out of control.Trade ReviewThis is truly history made fun. The whimsical rhyme turns man's folly to laughable learning. Greed and misguided ambition are sneaky culprits that can disrupt the best of times. Competition between Edward Drinker Cope of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, and O. Charles Marsh of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale stirred quite a Bone War! Each paleontologist used less than ethical means to outdo the other, yet brought to the public the wonder of dinosaurs. The illustrations by G.F. Newland complement the great text so wonderfully, that it is a most entertaining lesson in (pre)historical events! -- Midwest Book Review, Children's Bookwatch

Schiffer Publishing Ltd The 50 State Fossils
Book SynopsisAn engaging and award-winning kids'' guide to the official US state fossils. Winner of the Silver Medal in the JuvenileYoung Adult Nonfiction category from the Independent Publisher Book Awards Did you know that Illinois''s state fossil is the weird-looking Tully Monster, which had eyes on a pair of stalks and an elephant-like trunk that ended in a toothed claw? Or that Idaho''s state fossil is the stocky Hagerman horse, named for the town where its bones were found? Fossils can be found in every state, and this engaging guidebook brings these ancient organisms to life. Each state entry contains details about the state fossil; an illustration of what the vertebrate, invertebrate, or plant looked like; a photograph or drawing of the fossil; and a state map showing where it can be found. Potential fossil candidates are proposed for states that do not yet have official state fossils, along with instructions on how to get state fossils designated. An appendix lists museums and parks where these fossils can be studied first-hand. This book is a fun resource for fossil enthusiasts and future paleontologists of all ages. Check out all the books in the 50 States Geoscience for Kids Series: The 50 State Fossils: A Guidebook for Aspiring Paleontologists (9780764355578) The 50 State Gems and Minerals: A Guidebook for Aspiring Geologists (9780764359958) The 50 State Unofficial Meteorites: A Guidebook for Aspiring Meteoriticists (9780764365089)Trade ReviewWhat youngster hasn’t dreamed about finding interesting old fossils in the big dig he or she is making in the back yard? This fun non-fiction book will inspire youngsters to learn about the different states and the fossils that have been declared to represent each state. Not every state has one — three states have state dinosaurs and one has a state stone but no fossil and six have nothing, but the book includes recommendations for those states. A good introduction explains what fossils are and how they formed, excellent information about fossil hunting, and more. Then there are pages for each state that include a map of the state, a drawing of the animal or plant from which the fossil comes, well-written and well-researched information about the plant or animal, and a good photograph of the fossil. While many states have chosen dinosaurs, there are many other animals and some plants chosen — fish, sea creatures, trees, and other plants, even a special kind of wood. The variety is amazing and fun to read about. Budding paleontologists will love this book, as will kids interested in animals and fossils, which is just about every kid out there. -- Rosi Hollinbeck, San Francisco Book ReviewAn impressively informative guidebook brings these ancient organisms to life. Each state entry contains details about the state fossil; an illustration of what the vertebrate, invertebrate, or plant looked like; a photograph or drawing of the fossil; and a state map showing where it can be found. Potential fossil candidates are proposed for states that do not yet have official state fossils, along with instructions on how to get state fossils designated. Of special note is the inclusion of an appendix that lists museums and parks where these fossils can be studied first-hand, making "The 50 State Fossils" a fun resource and inspiration for fossil enthusiasts and future paleontologists of all ages that is unreservedly recommended for family, school, and community library collections. -- Midwest Book Review, Children's BookwatchYoung fossil hunters and geographical trivia fanciers will find Yinan Wang's The 50 State Fossils: A Guidebook for Aspiring Paleontologists full of fascinating fossils. But this lively illustrated handbook is more than a gee-whiz look at geographical lore for the fifty states. Scientist Wang explains what fossils are and the different processes (premineralization, mineral replacement, carbonization and original remains preserved in tar or amber) by which they are formed and also offers a run-through of the terminology of time (eons, eras, and epochs) and taxonomy (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species) as background information for middle readers in understanding the paleontology of the United States.. There is a useful appendix--Glossary, Places to See Fossils, bibliography (Further Reading), and Index, including states and scientific terms. With color photographs and illustrative drawings by Jane Levy, this one is great for student doing science and geography research projects and browsers as well, and belongs in libraries serving elementary and middle school students. -- BooksForKidsBlog50 State Fossils is one of those books a kid will carry to the museum to refer to while wandering through exhibits (I know I used to) and makes for a great book to give dino fans. It’s a nice add to nonfiction collections and a good gift idea. -- Rosemary Kiladitis, Mom Read ItThis dense, state-by-state guidebook would make an excellent gift for a school-aged child consumed with a serious dinosaur obsession.
