Velociraptor The: The History of...

Editors Charles River

The massively popular 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its subsequent movie adaptations led to a huge resurgence in interest in dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. That interest continues to the present day, even though most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren’t actually from the Jurassic period. Triceratops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the huge sauropods such as Brachiosaurus that feature in the book and movies all actually belong to the Late Cretaceous period, more than 40 million years after the end of the Jurassic. Regardless, the movie made certain kinds of dinosaurs instantly recognizable, even if associated with the wrong era. 
	Thanks to the movie, there has been some unwitting confusion over the identity of the Velociraptor, and this confusion was due in large part to the fact the name sounds far more scary than the creature to which the name originally belonged. Moreover, the creature to which the label was applied in the novel and movie was actually a distant cousin named Deinonychus, but as the story goes, the author, Michael Crichton, thought “Velociraptor” sounded “more dramatic.” The actual Velociraptor lived not in the badlands of North America, but in the badlands of central-eastern Asia, and it was not nearly as intimidating as Deinonychus. In fact, the main species of genus Velociraptor - Velociraptor mongoliensis - was no bigger than a turkey. Thus, in a very real sense, the Velociraptor has taken on a larger-than-life reputation.

Deborah and the War of the Tanks...

John A. Taylor

Deborah is a British First World War tank that rose from the grave after taking part in one of the most momentous battles in history. In November 1917, she played a leading role in the first successful massed tank attack at Cambrai. Eighty years later, in a remarkable feat of archaeology, the tank's buried remains were rediscovered and excavated, and are now preserved as a memorial to the battle and to the men who fought in it. John Taylor's book tells the tale of the tank and her crew and tracks down their descendants to uncover a human story every bit as compelling as the military one.

Soil is not a dirty word - A...

Craig Castree

What you feed the soil, you 
feed yourself! 
In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares 
urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the 
microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will 
transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. 
During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking 
truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has 
been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. 
While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became 
a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity 
but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer 
that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune 
diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from 
plant and human microbiomes. 
Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a 
solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with 
soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance 
on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies 
promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. 
This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for 
anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we 
leave for generations to come.
