Former US Vice President Al Gore, “Nature” and “Science” journals and the news media are all proclaiming that man is responsible for global warming. Their alarmist call to action is that we need to act now before the climate becomes uncontrollable and most of the world overheats. The cultural confusion is rampant. Atmospheric scientist, Michael Oard, examines the observed data and concludes that small, natural processes are responsible for more than 50% of global warming and that we have time for unbiased research.

Upper elementary age children will enjoy the information and activities provided in two-page spreads. Each features an account of part of William Wilberforce’s life, with a related puzzle or word based activity on the second page. What better way to introduce youngsters to the importance of history and concern for one’s fellow man? If the story is read aloud by an adult, somewhat younger children can do the puzzles. A fun learning opportunity!

Richly illustrated, this book introduces junior high readers to normal and extreme weather systems, and events of the past such as the worldwide flood of Noah. Interesting and useful for today’s young weather observers.

The younger set (ages kindergarten to grade five) really love information about science, just not too hard. Here we have a wonderful introduction to all aspects of space, from our solar system to discussion of the whole universe. Fun illustrations and youthful descriptions of the issues are totally ideal for this audience!

Review of this Book

Social conflict over climate change is something that Christians cannot afford to ignore. While
we all agree that we must treat our environment with care and respect, our mandate is to
“contribute knowledgeably to the discussion and care for God’s creation in a way that
recognizes man as the height of his created order.” (p. 59) This booklet provides information
and graphs to assist us with the need to be knowledgeable and caring.

Filled with beautiful colour images and graphs, this book demonstrates how the features of the moon are not only interesting, but they testify to the moon’s recent creation.

The legacy of Darwin’s speculations on evolution has led to terrible incidents of racism. This book examines the historical roots of racism and the Bible’s response to it, the truth that God created only one race.

Each of the 14 chapters discusses some specialized aspect of human biology such as maintaining our body temperature, the immune system, or protecting the body from too much sun. Each discussion is followed by a devotional page and then in depth questions on that topic. Detailed answers are next provided. This book can function as a complement to the dvd series of the same name, or as a stand alone discussion.

Refuting Alleged Bible Contradictions
A favourite tactic of Bible critics is to claim that there are errors and contradictions in Scripture. Dr. Lisle of Institute for Creation Research provides answers for 420 such claims. He also indicates the kind of fallacy each critical attack involves. A very handy reference!!

The reader enjoys second hand the real life experiences of five men who journeyed to the Liscombe Dinosaur Bone Bed on Alaska’s north shore. The account, partly travelogue, and partly devotional, describes how the men found both fossilized and un-fossilized duckbill dinosaur bones.

A wonderful book, written for junior high. The author takes the reader on a tour of the earth’s crust, pointing out both the natural beauty and scientific evidences for creation. A definite must for students studying earth science.

At last we have a book on Mount St. Helens and what a book! The text follows the events and aftermath of May 18, 1980. Considerable attention is given to how this eruption demonstrates, on a small scale, rapid and dramatic changes to the earth’s surface. Comparisons are made with flood geology. Deluxe colour photos amplify the interesting discussion.

This book combines interesting accounts of chemists’ lives with discussion of their discoveries including atomic theory and the table of elements. The logic of organic chemistry is also demonstrated and some modern industrial applications of chemistry are touched upon. Questions conclude each chapter.

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).
