New Releases by Will Osborne

Das Forscherhandbuch Dinosaurier (BA 5/02) ist in nahezu unveränderter Auflage erneut erschienen. Während sich die Umschlaggestaltung komplett gewandelt hat, sind mir im Inneren des Buches nur 2 kleine Neuerungen aufgefallen: Das Inhaltsverzeichnis kommt nun ohne Illustration aus, und der cleverste unter den Dinosauriern wird jetzt nicht mehr als Troödon, sondern korrekterweise als Troodon bezeichnet. Ulrike MüllerHückstädt empfahl den Band als "erste Einführung in die DinoKunde". Wer es lieber bunt und großformatig mag, dem seien die ausführlicheren "Dinosaurier! Den Urzeitriesen auf der Spur" (BA 5/06) oder "Bildatlas der Dinosaurier" (BA 1/06) ans Herz gelegt. Auch das Forscherhandbuch kann jedoch weiterhin bedenkenlos angeschafft werden.. Anne und Philipp stellen die verschiedensten Dinosaurier, ihre Fundorte und bisher bekannten Lebensumstände vor.

Wie waren die Seeräuber wirklich? Das bereits erschienene Forscherhandbuch "Piraten" liegt hier in einer veränderten Neuausgabe vor. Es beantwortet viele Fragen über die Seeräuber und rückt dabei das fast mystische Thema ins richtige Licht. Die vielen Fotos und Illustrationen helfen beim Verstehen und halten auch Leseunlustige "bei der Stange". Bestimmt steht der Band nicht lange im Regal "Neuerscheinungen" der Schulhausbibliothek! Ab 8 Jahren, gut, Christin Barmet.
