Seventy-six million years ago, one young dinosaur's life came to an end. It was an Albertosaurus, distant relative to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. But its death was also a beginning--the start of its transformation into a fossil that would lie undiscovered for millennia. This book, perfect for dinosaur devotees young and old, explores the two lives of this Albertosaurus. It reconstructs the world as this dinosaur would have known it and details how an archaeology team from the Royal Tyrrell Museum excavated and preserved the fossil. Colorful, factual drawings of the dinosaur era, detailed scientific drawings, and black-and-white and color photographs complement the text
Monique Keiran provides a compelling narrative and dynamic illustrations for these stories about rare dinosaur fossils discovered in northwestern Alberta
Examines the discovery of the 75 million-year-old fossil of Ornithomimus's complete articulated skeleton, found in the badlands of Alberta's Dinosaur Provincial Park.

Paleontologists and geologists read rocks as if they were stories in a book: each kind of rock forms in a specific environment; each represents a chapter in the geological history of a region. Albertans now live in the Holocene Epoch, the most recent chapter in the Quaternary Period. It is a chapter still being written. During this fragment of Earth's history, human time intersects with the long, slow pace of geological time, and Albertans' dependence on what has gone before becomes clear. Book jacket.
How do you prevent a critical care nurse from accidentally delivering a morphine overdose to an ill patient? Or ensure that people don't insert their arm into a hydraulic mulcher? And what about enabling trapped airline passengers to escape safely in an emergency? Product designers and engineers face myriad such questions every day. Failure to answer them correctly can result in product designs that lead to injury or even death due to use error. Historically, designers and engineers have searched for answers by sifting through complicated safety standards or obscure industry guidance documents. Designing for Safe Use is the first comprehensive source of safety-focused design principles for p...
