SAUROS - Rulers in the Age of Reptiles: Antarctica, Australia, India and Madagascar SCIENCE PAPERS Atelier Kaymak®’s Creative- & Study Books, Volume 3 In 2017, paleoanthropologists in Djebel Irhoud, Morocco, found bone fragments that turned out to be the oldest evidence of modern humans: The evolutionary history of Homo sapiens thus officially spans a whopping 315,000 years. Compared to the phylogeny of the ape genus, which spans nearly 2 million years, this may not seem like much. Compared to the history of the dinosaurs, however, it seems very modest: They existed for 186 million years! This book on dinosaurs is the beginning of a series that will gradually introduce all known species of the Mesozoic Era worldwide. The first volume presents reconstructions of all giant lizards of the Indo-Pacific region discovered so far in short informative presentations. Foreword (excerpt) We humans cannot, with the best will in the world, imagine the time frame that lies between the dinosaur era and our present. It is simply unimaginable. It can only be done in a very abstract way, with the help of numbers to which we cling like shipwrecked people to the lifeboat. Seriously: can we - who only have a very manageable and very short life span - imagine approximately what periods of millions of years are? Or of tens of thousands of years? A thousand years? It is already difficult for us to empathize with the one hundred year old, which we face with awe at the age we have already reached and with a great fear of the inevitable death that is still to come. But how to deal with the fact that 235 million years ago dinosaurs jumped around on the surface of the earth? Perhaps the thought that "time" is only an abstract measure, an invention of us humans, might help us a little. It gives us the illusion that we still play an important role in nature and that we can grasp and control our world. However, if we look at fossils, we quickly realize that we cannot compete with the smallest organisms that have had the good fortune to be preserved so well for millions of years in slate or amber. Introduction (excerpt) Since man has been able to get hold of his surroundings artistically, he has left traces of his history. What begins with simple, coloured handprints on cave walls, continues with figures carved in wood and bone, bronze works, sculptures carved from stone and painting: the cultural heritage of mankind. Not to forget not only joyful events but also memories of horrors and horrors. The captured visions and nightmares help people to always be aware that there are other creatures in the world besides themselves. Inexplicable beings. And dangerous creatures, which one should rather never meet. Despite the many different cultures - one creature seems to be omnipresent and to appear again and again: the bird griffin. A mixed creature, made up of the most terrible animals nature has to offer: a muscle-bound lion's body with huge paws that end in razor-sharp, ominous claws. Autor Kaymak has worked for more than 25 years as an illustrator, concept and comic artist, cartoonist and animator for advertising, PR, film and TV (see http://atelierkaymak.de). Since 2012 he has been writing didactically and humorously about history, politics, art and culture, vegetarianism and animal welfare.

Fatty Fish 3

ISBN: 3961830533
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
In the third volume of our dive, we take you into the realm of fatty acids. You will get to know the true reason in the usual black-humorous way: why Homo sapiens tears itself around organic fatty acids and gets out of the glue because of them. Learn why fatty acids are so immensely important for primates. And what it is about these ominous omega fatty acids, which everyone is constantly talking about - but nobody really knows exactly what they are. Learn about the different types of vegetarians and what motivates them to eat what they eat. Understand why a war for oil is raging in the food market and free yourself from the clutches of greedy semi-monkeys. We will show you alternative oil sources with which you can buy huge supplies of omega fatty acids at ridiculously low prices. Or which ethically acceptable edible fish you should buy to help save the animal kingdom from final extinction and the world from its demise... Let yourself be pulled along and dive into the world of water and its inhabitants. Refresh your knowledge about the history of evolution in a humorous and bitter way: How the world we live in was actually created and where exactly it is now, at this very moment. Find out the real reason why Homo sapiens came into being and what the origin of mankind is all about. Forget the propaganda and conspiracy theories of the Church and the Enlightenment, because the history of the earth was different. Learn the truth at last: the whole, naked truth. Without a fig leaf. Nuesret Kaymak works as a creative for public relations, advertising and television and has been publishing didactic and humorous books about legends, myths, nature and the history of the hobby since 2012.

Book Description
What if you woke up in the morning and all the work you had to do had already been done? And nobody wanted anything in return? And the next morning the same thing would happen. And the morning after that again. And the next day it would happen again? The former inhabitants of Cologne had just this pleasure and know that firsthand.Hardly anyone today knows the first version of the Brownies of Cologne saga, which was written by Cologne educator and city historian Ernst Weyden. He probably thought of his experience with the annoying grammar-school boys- when he pondered laziness, ingratitude, diligence and esteem almost 200 years ago and prosaically ventilated the outcome of his deliberations. Ten years later, the artist and jack-of-all-trades Alfred Kopisch liked the tragicomic narrative so much that he sang of it as a lively ballad - and made it really famous. The German graphic artist and illustrator Nuesret Kaymak pays his due respect as a Rhinelander by choice in his homage to the creator, interpreter and creation.

Book Description
Vividly imagined, stunningly prophetic, and epic in scope, The Diamond Age is a major novel from one of the most visionary writers of our time Decades into our future, a stone’s throw from the ancient city of Shanghai, a brilliant nanotechnologist named John Percival Hackworth has just broken the rigorous moral code of his tribe, the powerful neo-Victorians. He's made an illicit copy of a state-of-the-art interactive device called A Young Ladys Illustrated Primer Commissioned by an eccentric duke for his grandchild, stolen for Hackworth's own daughter, the Primer’s purpose is to educate and raise a girl capable of thinking for herself. It performs its function superbly. Unfortunately for Hackworth, his smuggled copy has fallen into the wrong hands. Young Nell and her brother Harv are thetes—members of the poor, tribeless class. Neglected by their mother, Harv looks after Nell. When he and his gang waylay a certain neo-Victorian—John Percival Hackworth—in the seamy streets of their neighborhood, Harv brings Nell something special: the Primer. Following the discovery of his crime, Hackworth begins an odyssey of his own. Expelled from the neo-Victorian paradise, squeezed by agents of Protocol Enforcement on one side and a Mandarin underworld crime lord on the other, he searches for an elusive figure known as the Alchemist. His quest and Nell’s will ultimately lead them to another seeker whose fate is bound up with the Primer—a woman who holds the key to a vast, subversive information network that is destined to decode and reprogram the future of humanity.
