Описание:
Everyone knows Thylacines are extinct. The truth is more complicated.
Thylacines are real but the secret that hides their existence has trapped them in a half-life, and only one person can set them free.
Sent to live in Tasmania, Australia, with a father she's never met, Ginny Martin's mission is to lay low and get through the school year. That is until she sees that first ghostly creature. Refusing to believe she's going crazy, Ginny will not stop until she's unearthed the truth behind the silver apparitions.
The search pulls Ginny into a world that shouldn't exist. A world that is being threatened. Someone has found the Thylacines and is killing them.
As Ginny struggles to unravel a century-old mystery that holds the key to their freedom, the answers bring her to the killer's attention. In a clash between worlds, where exposing the truth means death, is Ginny prepared for the cost of keeping the Thylacines safe?

Описание:
The fossil record of giant flightless birds extends back to the Late Cretaceous, more than 70 million years ago, but our understanding of these extinct birds is still incomplete. This is partly because the number of specimens available is sometimes limited, but also because widely different approaches have been used to study them, with sometimes contradictory results. This book summarizes the current knowledge of the paleobiology of seven groups of giant flightless birds: Dinornithiformes, Aepyornithiformes, Dromornithidae, Phorusrhacidae, Brontornithidae, Gastornithidae and Gargantuavis.
The first chapter presents the global diversity of these birds and reviews the tools and methods used to study their paleobiology. Chapters 2 to 8 are each dedicated to one of the seven groups of extinct birds. Finally, a conclusion offers a global synthesis of the information presented in the book in an attempt to define a common evolutionary model.
Focuses on the giant flightless birds that evolved independently in different parts of the world since the Cretaceous period
Covers a number of different families with different evolutionary histories, providing a source of interesting comparisons
Provides emphasis on the palaeobiology of these birds, including their evolution, adaptations, mode of life, ecology and extinction

Описание: This book challenges some long held beliefs about Christianity as we know it, detailing a great divide between Jesus of Nazareth's teachings and Christianity extending into the Middle Ages. With comprehensive historical research over a twenty year period Thomas Kessler analyzes the power and class struggles in the church. He shows how clergymen continued to choke life out of the Christian community. The reality is insidious, the horrors startling, and some church officials even committed genocide. No, the church has not been perfect throughout its history. Knowing the facts about it grounds us in reality, the starting point of any true Christian commitment. This is a true People's History of Christianity in the tradition of Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States and one that will have you seeing Christianity in a brand-new light. Thomas Kessler is a former Capuchin Franciscan friar and priest. He studied at St. Anthony Friary and Capuchin Seminary in Marathon, Wisconsin, and conducted independent research t Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley and in Assisi, Italy. His interests include Christian history, philosophy, theology, Greek and Latin.
