Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Covering a wide area of the London and Hampshire basins, the London Clay has been famous for over two hundred years as one of the richest Eocene strata in the country. In this work, first published between 1849 and 1858, Fellows of the Royal Society Richard Owen (1804-92) and Thomas Bell (1792-1880) describe their findings from among the reptilian fossils found there. The book is divided into four parts, covering chelonian, crocodilian, lacertilian and ophidian fossils, and includes an extensive section of detailed illustrations. Using his characteristic 'bone to bone' method and an emphasis on taxonomy, Owen draws some significant conclusions; he shows that some of Cuvier's classifications were wrongly extended to marine turtles, and adds to the evidence for an Eocene period much warmer than the present. The work is a fascinating example of pre-Darwinian palaeontology by two scientists later much involved in the evolutionary controversy.

for SA and piano with body percussion This fun, raucous, and traditional Canadian sea-shanty is arranged for SA, piano, handclaps, thigh slaps, and foot stomps and has wonderful Canadian imagery: Were you ever in Quebec stowing timber on a deck? The piano part is easy to play and the vocal lines are a delight to sing. This title from the Oxford Music from Canada series is a perfect fit for school choirs.

“This is an eye-opening glimpse at the worldwide impact of rising temperatures.” —School Library Journal. “Flooding and climate change have become increasingly important topics that need to be addressed, and our youngest readers — and a large hope for the future of this planet — will learn important information about our world and its climate in this informative text.” —Booklist. The Earth’s oceans are on the rise. Since 1880, global sea levels have risen steadily each year to a global average of about 8–9 inches (20–23 cm), and they’re still rising. By 2100, the sea could climb as much as 6.6 feet (2 m) higher than it is today. Rising Seas gives youth an eye-popping view of what the Earth might look like under the rising sea levels of climate change. Photographs juxtapose the present-day with that area’s projected future. The shocking images will help readers understand the urgency for action. This updated and expanded edition features three new locations — London, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Manila, the Philippines — as well as brand new sections about climate anxiety (and what you can do about it) and how the world worked together to close the ozone hole, giving young readers a reason to hope for a better future. The 8 extra pages and thorough revision make this an important warning for the future.

This workbook, with 30 science experiments and 50 quiz questions, covers the following topics: Physical Science, Life Science, Earth Science, and Contributions to Science If you are homeschooling (or if you are just trying to get extra practice for your child), then you already know that science workbooks and curriculum can be expensive. HomeSchool Brew is trying to change that We have teamed with teachers and parents to create books for prices parents can afford. We believe education shouldn't be expensive. The problem portion of the book may also be purchased individually in "First Grade Science Experiments."
