Driving across the North American Heartland, surrounded by prairie, it is almost impossible to imagine that once this was once a huge inland sea. The Western Interior Seaway, which split the entire continent of North America in half, once teemed with predatory creatures - fanged fish and turtles the size of small cars; prowling sharks and giant squid; hungry plesiosaurs and immense crocodiles. At the top of this prehistoric food chain, stretching up to nearly 15 metres (50 feet) and weighing a hefty 50,000 kilograms (50 tonnes), ruled the mighty mosasaur, the T-Rex of the sea.
Through a cooperative partnership with the Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre (CFDC), home to 'Bruce', the world's largest mosasaur skeleton, author Larry Verstraete and illustrator Julius Csotonyi combine fascinating facts, astonishing discoveries, and the latest paleontological information to bring the ancient marine creatures of the Seaway to vivid life.

Scary Dinosaur Facts is your backstage pass to the darkest, most bizarre, and downright terrifying moments in dinosaur history. Forget the gentle images of peaceful giants-you'll discover a hidden world where rampaging carnivores, blood-chilling ambushes, and freaky survival tricks ruled the day. From deserts crawling with sneaky scavengers to jungles echoing with midnight roars, this book reveals how dinosaurs weren't just majestic-they were downright scary.
Inside these pages, you'll see how massive predators used bone-crushing jaws and razor-sharp claws to dominate the land, and how armored beasts fought back with spikes, clubs, and cunning teamwork. We'll also dig into savage swamp monsters, fiery volcanic eruptions, and even parasitic nightmares that silently picked off the weak. In short, you're getting a one-way ticket to a time when tooth and claw settled every score, and no day was guaranteed.
But don't think it's all doom and gloom (okay, mostly it is). You'll uncover freaky facts about dinosaur parenting, weird feathered predators, and the final cataclysm that ended their reign. If you crave a jolt of excitement and a healthy dose of shivers, Scary Dinosaur Facts is here to remind you that our planet's past was as wild and unpredictable as any monster-filled movie-except this time, it was real.

Assembling Past Worlds draws on new materialism and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze to explore the potential for a posthumanist archaeology.
Through specific empirical study, this book provides a detailed analysis of Neolithic Britain, a critical moment in the emergence of new ways of living, as well as new relationships between materials, people and new forms of architecture. It achieves two things. First, it identifies the major challenges that archaeology faces in the light of current theoretical shifts. New ideas place new demands on how we write and think about the past, sometimes in ways that can seem contradictory. This volume identifies seven major challenges that have emerged and sets out why they matter, why archaeology needs to engage with them and how they can be dealt with through an innovative theoretical approach. Second, it explores how this approach meets these challenges through an in-depth study of Neolithic Britain. It provides an insightful diagnosis of the issues posed by current archaeological thought and is the first volume to apply the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze to the extended analysis of a single period.
Assembling Past Worlds shows how new approaches are transforming our understandings of past worlds and, in so doing, how we can meet the challenges facing archaeology today. It will be of interest to both students and researchers in archaeological theory and the Neolithic of Europe.
