Dinosaur Science

Charlie’s problems have gotten monstrously big...There's a thief in town, and all signs point to 12-year-old Charlie Drinkwater. Once you spontaneously morph into a giant mutant dinosaur in the middle of the school day, people will suspect you of just about anything. Charlie's principal decides that all he needs is a little discipline, so they make him join the swim team. The only problem is, Charlie is terrified of the water. (He's terrified of a lot of things). Charlie and his friends vow to apprehend the real criminal and clear Charlie's name.

Join author Denver Michaels as he delves into folklore and eyewitness accounts to learn the truth about these extinction escapees.

Once each year, on orbital space stations, nano-engineered young women compete on the backs of dinosaurs in races as brutal and bloody as any witnessed in the Roman circus 3,000 years before. Highly skilled and capable of superhuman feats, these gladiators live isolated lives - except for the resurrected beasts with whom they form their deepest bonds. Tonight, on the red sands of the arena and inside the hollow asteroid where the dinosaurs are grown, the secrets these gladiators discover will shake their entire world.

It's the year 2001... No, it's 2022? No... It's the future, with land-squids and kidnapped celebrities in super suits. Squid are the dominant species eighty million years from now. But they have a problem: Dinosaurs are coming home. Fear, greed, xenophobia and ego inevitably lead to war. Three celebrities from the early 21st Century in a weird world--recruited to fight, unaware of the truths of the situation... Out of their element... beyond their experience...

This full-cast audio movie invites you to travel with Professor Challenger to a secluded South American plateau...deep in the Amazon jungle...where no civilized man dares to go...and where dinosaurs still roam! This is the original terrifying adventure tale, as spawned by the mind of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - the man who gave the world Sherlock Holmes.

Eigentlich wünscht sich Henry nichts sehnlicher als einen Hund. Doch dann stolpert er im Wald über einen Blätterhaufen und traut seinen Augen nicht: Darunter verbirgt sich ein zotteliges Urzeitwesen mit fluffigen Schlappohren und gelben Stoßzähnen - ein Zwergmammut! Gemeinsam mit seinen besten Freunden Finn und Zoe karrt er das Tier heimlich nach Hause - zu allem bereit, um es zu retten.

You never know what might happen when three friends set off on an adventure. Especially when one is a scaredy-cat, one is close to fearless, and one is learning to rely on faith to overcome obstacles. Throw in a bully, an ally-turned-villain, and a heavy dose of T-Rex, and the adventure turns into the quest of a lifetime.

Davy Ross was staying with his grandmother and just about to celebrate his 11th birthday when he received word that his parents, paleontologists for the Natural History Museum, were missing and believed dead on an expedition in Africa. A few days later, a trunk containing his parents' personal effects arrive and in that trunk, Davy finds what appears to be some kind of egg. Assuming it was similar to one of the many fossils his parents had brought back from their digs, Davy sets it on a shelf along with his other dinosaur memorabilia.

The human species is relatively new to the planet in geologic terms. With origins reaching back only a few million years, the rise of humans from primate ancestors is a remarkable evolutionary success story. Early Humans traces the beginnings of the human species, its success and adaptability, and the development of such innovations as human language and culture.

Deadly predators and herbivores alike turn a fearful eye toward a mysterious forest. No animals enter or leave this unexplored valley. Undeterred, unit Red 7 has decided to investigate. That was three weeks ago, and the thirty well-armed men and women have not returned. This is a unit that has faced any number of deadly threats from river raptors to fire-breathing T. Rex’s to giant trapdoor snakes. What could possibly be hiding inside?

Benjamin and his sister, Rose, have been set a mission by Professor Arkwright to record the K-T extinction event and gather some specimens. But when a huge flying reptile snatches the key to their time machine, they are forced to venture further into the prehistoric wilderness, encountering some of the deadliest creatures to have ever roamed Earth.

The Mesozoic Era, which lasted from about 252 to 66 million years ago, is divided into three periods, the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. During this era, one type of life came to dominate the planet more completely and for a longer period than had been seen before or since; this was the Age of Reptiles. Beginning in the Triassic but especially in the Jurassic period, reptiles came to dominate the oceans, the land and even the skies.

By the time I’d established a camp in the covered breezeway of the Luxor obelisk - “Cleopatra’s Needle” it was called, at least according to a bronze placard on its wall - and bound her hands and feet, the sun had set and a slight rain had started to fall; something I fully welcomed after so much time in the desert. As to whether the girl welcomed it also, who could say.

When Max, Kyle, and Emma are sent to live with their reclusive grandfather, they think he's crazy, especially when he tells them about his time machine. But after Emma is kidnapped at the exact time that her grandfather predicted, Max and Kyle are forced to believe his eccentric stories - even the one about the Chronal Engine in the basement. Now, to save Emma, Max, Kyle, and their new friend Petra must pile into a VW Bug, and use the Chronal Engine to take the road trip of a lifetime - right back to the Cretaceous period.

In the history of life on this planet, 99.9 percent of all species have gone extinct. But a few have survived almost unchanged. Author Rebecca E. Hirsch introduces listeners to six living fossils, including the chambered nautilus, the horseshoe crab with its sticky blue blood, and venomous platypuses that sting, as well as a comprehensive explanation of evolution and extinction for listeners who may not be familiar with the terms yet.

Scientists have long attempted to understand Earth’s past, and in service to that effort, they have divided the world’s history into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages. For example, the current eon is called the Phanerozoic Eon, which means “visible life”. This is the eon in which multicellular life has evolved and thrived. Before this, life was microscopic (single cells).

Scientists have long attempted to understand Earth’s past, and in service to that effort, they have divided the world’s history into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages. The Triassic Period: The History and Legacy of the Geologic Era that Witnessed the Rise of Dinosaurs looks at the development of the era, the extinction events that preceded it, and how dinosaurs began to evolve in the Late Triassic. You will learn about the Triassic Period like never before.
