Phần Cựu Ước kể những câu chuyện thánh của dân Israel, từ khi vũ trụ được tạo dựng, qua các tổ phụ Abraham, Isaac, Jacob với lời hứa Thiên Chúa ban đất Canaan và dòng dõi đông đúc. Tiếp đến là hành trình của Moses, người giải phóng dân Israel khỏi cảnh nô lệ và nhận Thập Giới – giao ước giữa Thiên Chúa và dân Israel.

Phần Tân Ước ghi lại hành trình cứu độ nhân loại của Đức Jesus – Con Thiên Chúa nhập thể. Từ khi sinh ra trong lòng Trinh Nữ Mary, Người loan báo Tin Mừng, làm phép lạ, chọn 12 tông đồ và chịu khổ nạn, phản bội rồi bị đóng đinh trên thập giá. Sau khi phục sinh, Người giao sứ mạng truyền bá Tin Mừng cho các tông đồ, dẫn đến sự hình thành Giáo Hội Kitô hữu, lan tỏa niềm tin khắp thế giới.

A comprehensive pocket guide to dinosaurs and prehistoric animals and the world they inhabited millions of years ago.

Packed with more than seven hundred full-color illustrations, this definitive pocket guide paints a vivid portrait of extraordinary dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, and the ecosystems they lived in millions of years ago.

This guide features authoritative text, crystal-clear illustrations, and a straightforward approach to revealing the fascinating lives and habitats of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, and prehistoric beasts. The introductory section explains classification systems, geological timelines, the evolution of the dinosaurs, and how fossils form and are discovered by paleontologists. For ease of reference, the main body of the book is divided into three sections: the Precambrian and Paleozoic eras, when animals first began evolving; the Mesozoic era, which saw the flourishing and eventual extinction of the dinosaurs; and the Cenozoic era, when giant mammals walked the Earth. Each section is broken down into its geological time periods, and, within these, the species are organized according to habitat--whether they lived on land, in the water, or in the air.

There are detailed profiles of 200 dinosaurs and other ancestors of modern animals. Each entry combines a precise, jargon-free description with full-color illustrations, skeletons, and replica models, annotated to showcase the unique features of the species. Maps show where each animal's fossils have been found, and many profiles are supported by photographs to show actual excavation sites.

Delve into the secret history of the greatest code makers and code-breakers.

From the deciphering of the Rosetta Stone to cracking the Enigma code during World War II, curious kids can explore how codes are created and cracked to reveal top secrets!

Venture into the world of codes and cyphers! Inside the pages of this fun children's book, you will discover:

- Exciting and easy to read stories to engage young readers interested in the world of codes and code breakers

- Includes a reference section with key facts, timelines, and a glossary of terms
- A short, paperback book, perfect gift for reluctant readers aged 9 and up

Many adventure stories have ended with the hero "cracking the code" and saving the day! The truth is people have been using codes throughout history to guard and pass along secret information that they don't want in the hands of their enemies (or nosy siblings!)

In this code-breaking book for kids, explore the mysterious world of clever codes and cyphers that have been invented over the years. Learn all about the brilliant people and the fiendishly innovative ways they eventually cracked the codes. Become an expert in cryptology as you follow the stories of famous code-breakers and their place in history.

Code Breakers is part of the Mega Bites series, which uncovers the secrets of history, science, and the natural world. Go back into the past and investigate the fascinating history of the ancient Egyptians in Mummies and then journey to the Gladiators' deadly world. Closer to home, learn all about the most lethal predator in the ocean - sharks! Whichever title you pick, you'll get expert knowledge and fun facts you need on each topic, with every book packed with illustrations, entertaining stories, and anecdotes.

How To Be Good At Science, Technology & Engineering Workbook 2, Ages 11-14 (Key Stage 3): The Simplest-ever Visual Workbook

STEM subjects are where the future's at. Now you can be a science superstar with this colourful practice book.

Are you a budding Einstein? Or do you need a little more help to avoid falling behind in science class? DK's How to be Good at Science, Technology, and Engineering course book for children aged 7-14 now has two accompanying workbooks: Workbook 1 covers ages 7-11 and Workbook 2 covers ages 11-14.

These workbooks will help to cement everything you need to know about "STE" subjects through practice questions and practical exercises. Easy-to-follow instructions allow you to try out what you've studied, helping you understand what you've learned in school or giving extra revision practice before that important test.

Workbook 2 is aimed at children aged 11-14 (Key Stage 3 in the UK; Grades 6, 7, and 8 in the US), and covers all the key areas of the school curriculum for this level, including genes and DNA, atoms and molecules, chemical reactions, the periodic table, heat transfer, electricity and magnetism, seasons and climate zones, and lots more. And there are answers at the back to check that you're on the right path.

This engaging and clear workbook accompanies DK's How to be Good at Science, Technology, and Engineering course book, but can also be used on its own to reinforce classroom teaching.
