The Winter Visitor - James Henry - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Essex, February, 1991. The weather is biting cold. Everyone would rather be somewhere warmer, which is why it''s a big surprise when a wanted drug smuggler, Bruce Hopkins, risks a return to his old haunts in Colchester after a decade long exile on the Costa del Sol. Lured back by a letter from the wife Hopkins left behind, no one is more surprised than him when he finds himself abducted and stripped bare only to be sent to a watery grave in the boot of a stolen Ford Sierra. The police wonder if it could be retaliation from a Spanish gang, sending a warning to their English counterparts?DS Daniel Kenton is teamed up with the unorthodox DS Brazier to investigate a crime wave which takes in not only the murder of an expat dope smuggler, but a sophisticated arson attack on a Norman church and the unexpected suicide of an ageing florist. Could there possibly be a thread that connects them? Written with the humour and period detail that have become his trademark, and set in the badlands of his beloved Essex, The Winter Visitor is James Henry at his inimitable best.

Dinosaurs - Steve Brusatte - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Dinosaurs - Steve Brusatte - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Just mutter the word ''dinosaur'' and you immediately conjure up images of a lost world, a fantastic but scary past when the earth was ruled by giant reptilians. Dinosaurs are more popular today than ever before. Hardly a week goes by without word of an exciting new discovery in the badlands of countries like Argentina or China. New movies, documentaries and television shows focusing on these ''terrible lizards'' attract wide audiences. Some palaeontologists have even become minor celebrities. But despite the ''rock star'' attention that they receive, dinosaurs are not merely a trumped-up media creation. These animals were some of the most important, diverse and dominating creatures ever to inhabit the earth.From the fearsome Tyrannosaurus and its carnivorous kin to the staggeringly huge sauropods Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus, Steve Brusatte''s expert text comprehensively describes each species-where they lived, what they looked like, what they ate, how they lived, fought and died-to provide a spectacular overview of one of the greatest stories ever told: the origin, evolution, and demise of the dinosaurs. With over 170 computer-generated reconstructions based on the latest cutting-edge research and technology, Dinosaurs looks at these amazing animals in stunning detail like never before.
