A look at new animal discoveries around the world.

Introduces young readers to such animals as an owl, orangutan, crocodile, and shark. On board pages

These two titles have content based upon and supplementing the lessons about God’s creation that are found on the Nature of God DVD collection by Peter Schriemer. These titles, with facts and photos of Hawaii and the Great Lakes habitats and creatures will enrich the lessons taught by Schriemer or can stand alone as informational and fun resources for young readers and their families. The addition of the DVDs showing clips from the Nature of God DVD collections with each book is sure to be a draw for families that are looking for ways to enrich their children’s knowledge of science and nature as well as show, in a beautiful and visual way, that nature is a wonderful gift from God. A quote: Peter Schriemer focuses on a particular ecosystem in the eco-region, how it is designed to sustain life, what amazing creatures and plants live there, and how the science of the creatures and the habitat show evidence of a creator.

That the arts had their rise in the East, and that they were conveyed thence to the Greeks, and from them to the Romans, is universally admitted. Respecting the inventions and discoveries however of the earliest ages, nothing certain is known. Many of those most useful in common life must have been the production of periods when men were little acquainted with letters, or any sure mode of transmitting an account of their improvements to succeeding generations. The taste which then prevailed of giving to every thing a divine origin, rendered traditional accounts fabulous; and the exaggeration of poets tended more and more to make such authorities less worthy of credit. A variety of works also, which might have supplied us with information on this subject, have been lost; and the relations of some of those preserved are so corrupted and obscure, that the best commentators have not been able to illustrate them. This in particular is the case with many passages in Pliny, an author who appears to have collected with the utmost diligence whatever he thought useful or curious, and whose desire of communicating knowledge seems to have been equal to his thirst for acquiring it.
