101 Scientific Facts
Paperback / $1.50 / 31 pages
Descriptions and pronouncements about nature from the Bible are considered in light of our current knowledge. It turns out that these ancient descriptions are highly accurate and sophisticated. In several instances the Bible describes phenomena that have only recently been discovered by modern science. How did these ancient authors know all this if not by divine inspiration.
Astronomy and the Bible
Donald B. DeYoung
Paperback / $11.00 / 176 pages / line drawings
Dr. DeYoung provides informed but easily understood answers to many questions concerning astronomy and physics. The book’s question and answer format makes it ideal for junior high to high school students as well as teachers and interested amateur astronomers. Very useful indeed.
Body by Design
Allen Gillen
Paperback / $12.00 / 159 pages / line drawings
Far different from standard texts, this one encourages students to view basic anatomy in terms of interdependent systems. Brief highlights on related topics such as medical pioneers and disease conditions flesh out the discussion.
Building Blocks of Science
Gary Parker
Paperback / $12.00 / 160 pages / black & white illustrations
This new book, in the same format as the “Exploring” series, introduces young people at the junior high level, to dinosaur, other reptile, bird and human fossils. The impact of the fall and the flood are important components of the discussion. Chapters include questions (with answers at the back of the book). Very nice.
Completing the Picture
Margaret Helder
Paperback / $12.00 / 137 pages / line drawings
Full of interesting details about dinosaurs and the fossils of unusual sea creatures (animals without back bones), the discussion is presented at two levels: junior high and adult. So take your pick which section you prefer, or read the one after the other. Excellent food for thought.
Dinosaurs by Design
Duane T. Gish
Hardcover / $18.00 / 88 pages / full colour drawings
Divided into three sections: a discussion of dinosaur fossils in general, where and when they lived, early fossil discoveries and how to excavate such specimens. Secondly, specific details about many popular dinosaur species: their size, location of fossils and other interesting facts. The last section includes discussions of these creatures in the context of Biblical revelation. For youngsters aged 8 – 14.
Dragons of the Deep
Carl Wieland
Hardcover / $15.00 / 77 pages / full colour
For too long we have concentrated on scary land based creatures. Those in the sea were more scary! (And more interesting). This book puts ocean monsters past and present into context: size, time, and significance. Interesting for all ages from junior high up. Beautifully illustrated.
Evolution: The Grand Experiment
Dr. Carl Werner
Hardcover / $24.00 / 262 pages / full colour
Many shortcomings of the fossil record for evolution are beautifully demonstrated with diagrams, charts, photographs and other illustrations. This full colour hard cover book presents its argument in a way that is easily grasped without a lot of reading of complex ideas. Recommended for junior high and high school levels.

Exploring Planet Earth
John Tiner
Paperback / $12.00 / 163 pages / line drawings
Another fascinating book for junior high readers. Following in the footsteps of early explorers, we look at interesting features of our globe such as wind, currents in the sea, the tides, earth’s magnetic field, rocks, glaciers, and river systems. Later we move to the atmosphere and exploration by hot air balloon, airplanes and space vehicles. Thought provoking questions at the end of each chapter make this book suitable for geography and social studies (history).
Exploring the History of Medicine
John Tiner
Paperback / $12.00 / 160 pages / line drawings
This is a high quality book for junior high readers. It traces the history of medicine in a most interesting manner. The emphasis is on asking questions and carrying out direct observations.

Exploring The World Around You
Gary Parker
Paperback / $12.00 / 140 pages / line drawings
In very readable fashion, Dr. Parker conducts the reader through ecology and environmental science. Where there are differences of interpretation compared with secular, evolution-based discussions of a topic, he points out these issues. Like the other titles in the “Exploring” series, this book comes with end of chapter questions.
Exploring the World of Biology
