Did you know that sperm whales can adjust their buoyancy with such precision that they can "float" at just about any depth? Or that in the frog world brainy boys are more than a match for brawny boys in winning the hearts of the opposite sex? Have you ever heard of birds that start stinking within hours, or less, of dying? (You wouldn't want one of them in your stewpot.)
These are just a few of the examples of the kind of fascinating information you will find in Wild Kingdoms. This book contains sections on birds, mammals, plants, extinct creatures, microscopic creatures, bizarre relationships, and more. It covers everything from toadstools to killer whales. (Please note topics not yet finalized.) And it does so in an eminently entertainingly readable manner. The thorough research and sheer fascination of the creatures and their intriguing lifestyles unveiled ensure that even diehard evolutionists would enjoy Wild Kingdoms — if only they were willing to read it. Those who love God and Jesus Christ will marvel yet again at the endless ingenuity displayed by the Master's Handiworks. "Wild Kingdoms" has a Scripture index for putting the passages mentioned in the book right at your fingertips. In addition, a glossary explains words that some readers may have difficulty with — no struggling with unknown terms. |
