Fascinating book!

This book is a great read for children and adults. I used it as a read aloud to my children aging from 5-12. It uses a Biblical approach to explaining the ice age.

Excellent science and history text for homeschool students

When we were homeschooling, it was important to us that our daughter understood history from the very beginning, day one of creation, but we didn't want to bore her in the process. This book really helped tie in the historical and scientific facts regarding the Ice Age with the biblical account of the flood in a very creative and thought provoking way. This book is written in such a way that all ages will benefit from it. Those who are younger, as my daughter was (although we still own this book 5 years later and will probably reread it now that she can dig deeper) will understand the basic facts regarding "cave men" and the Ice Age, but older students can dig even further into this issue. The book begins with an engaging story and is followed by in-depth facts and explanations. The illustrations are beautiful! A great resource for any homeschool library. (Although, I bought it for our daughter, but find I am reading it for myself, so adults will love it as well!!) If you are using literature to teach history, this book could easily be proceeded or followed by Journey to the Ice.Journey To The Ice which covers the time period of the Tower of Babel.

Great book!

We know the stuff we were taught in school about the Ice Age is false. But if it didn't happen the way they say it did, how did it happen? This book explains it in a very readable and interesting way.

A Refreshingly-New Way of Thinking About Ice-Age Man

Mike Oard is a scholar who has done much geologic field work. Having done field work with him, I can testify to the fact that he pays careful attention to detail, and is very skillful in separating fact from interpretation. In this work he goes outside the mental boxes of conventional uniformitarian geology, and shows the consequences, upon humans, of a single Ice Age.

Credible history of early man

A fine speculative but scholarly tale of Japethites as they spread accross Europe and face the ice age. Deals with anthropology from a truly Biblical perspective. Appendix is more advanced, dealing with the climatology and geology of the ONE ice age. Great book for the Christian home.

A study of prehistoric man through modern science.

A study of prehistoric man from the creationist perspective. Explaining life in the prehistoric time with scientific evidence, not just from Biblical stories-although it does include Biblical events (tower of Babel) and attributes creation to the creator, God (the God of Moses). Explains where the evolutionary ideas came from and their flaws on a scientific and rational level. Story and illustration are designed for kids up to the 6th or 8th grade level. (although it's great for adults to!)
