Of the home school and educational titles I have reviewed for the Mom's of MB blogger program, my top choice is the Galapagos Islands. My other favorites include the Chronicles of Dinosauria, the Children's World Atlas and I Am Ruth.
An entire curriculum can be created using the educational materials from Master Books. The complete spectrum of resources for science, history, geography and literature are available. These multimedia resources reach out to students as well as educators. They bridge the gap between faith and science showing that biblical truth does not contradict what we know about the world around us. Whether for recreational reading or education, these books as well as the entire Master book line, represent the latest scholarship as well as creativity.

New Master Book Titles
Galapagos Islands: A Different View (edited by Georgia Purdom) is a new science pictorial about the Galapagos Islands written from a creation world view. This impressive full color science book contains vivid graphics and high definition photos throughout. The quality and scholarship of Purdom's work rivals that of the best science texts and journals. Photos of the unique wildlife as well as ecosystem give the reader a bird's eye view of these islands.
Starting with an overview of the creation account as depicted in the book of Genesis of the Old Testament, the editor ties in biblical creation with the science of these impressive and unique ecosystem. The reader will get a comprehensive view of how creation is in indeed consistent with the natural world that can be observed. Additionally, there are contributions from.a number of respected creation scientists and scholars adding additional scholarship and credibility to this work. This book incorporates history and social science- the development of evolutionary world views side by side the creationist world view. This rounded depiction gives the reader a comprehensive view of these special islands.
This book is appropriate for all ages and audiences - young and old alike as well as the secular educational and homeschool market. This book can be adapted into a science curriculum for an earth science or geology course. This would be a great book to see in any school or public library or museum gift shop. Science fact books are an ever growing genre gaining popularity among elementary readers. This book would make a great gift for any young reader interested in wildlife and science. Ironically, an ecosystem that has been widely viewed as evidence of evolution is shown to prove the validity of creationism from the bible. This book will appeal to all readers of all educational backgrounds and interests: history enthusiasts as well as environmentalists and those who hold an interest in wildlife.
I highly recommend this book published by Master Books an imprint of New Leaf Press. I would like this book to be offered in the school market. This book would be a welcome addition to school book fairs and libraries.
Chronicles of Dinosauria: The History & Mystery of Dinosaurs and Man by Dave Woetzel and illustrated by Richard Dobbs is a newly illustrated volume written from the biblical perspective of creation. This full colored book is filled with colorful graphics, full color illustrations and photographs on each page. Created and designed to resemble an actual field journal, this book is like an actual experience with dinosaurs. This book is the creationist answer to the new emerging genre of realistic journal styled books that usually focus on mythical or fictional creatures such as ware wolves, vampires or even middle earth dragons. This book is designed in the same tradition yet its focus is on dinosaurs. The mixed media illustrations and elements- line drawings, photographs, the aged worn appearance of the cover and pages and realistic graphics draw the reader in for a realistic experience. Visually, this book is impressive and is certain to draw in all readers- young readers and even parents alike!
As far as the content- this book provides a broad picture of the concepts of creation, with its focus on dinosaurs in particular. Background information of the creation account and the worldwide flood as recorded in the biblical book of Genesis is covered. The lives of dinosaurs is retold in context of archeological evidence as well as the Genesis account. Intelligently written, this book serves as a good apologetic resource for anyone who wishes to build up and defend their belief in the creation account. In terms of scientific coverage, this book would be a goo supplement to a science text. A number of facts are presents in regards to archeological evidence, and fossils. The different dinosaurs are depicted with their names as well. This hybrid book combines science and entertainment as well. Detailed endnotes provide sources of information. Last but not least in the end of the book is "God's Plan of Salvation" in order to provide the opportunity to hear the gospel message to all readers. This book is the perfect outreach to draw in the science enthusiast and dinosaur buff. Inj light of all those erroneous memes and photos of creation tests that have gone viral on facebook, this book provides the true source of creation from an objective point of view- first hand. As a blogger for New Leaf publishers I received a copy of this book published by Master Books and imprint of New Leaf Publishing group.
This book is available directly from the publisher www.newleafpublishinggroup
