It's like you're chasing your day instead of the other way around. But what if I told you that the first 60 minutes of your day are like the foundation of a building? Well, if the foundation is shaky, the whole building wobbles, but if the foundation is solid, you can handle any storm that comes your way.

 Human: What Does It Really Mean to Be One of Us? Hello there, friend! Have you ever sat on a bench at a bustling railway station, perhaps with a cup of hot cutting chai in your hand, and simply watched people pass by? It is a very interesting experience, isn’t it? You see a school-going kid hurrying to board a local train, a grandma carrying a bag of fresh veggies, and a young office-goer staring at her phone. However different our clothes, languages, and occupations may be, there is one thing that binds every single person on this planet: we are all human. But have you ever stopped to think about what this word really means? Is it simply a matter of having two arms and two legs, or is it something more?

Roar into the Past: The Ultimate Time-Traveler's Guide to Dinosaurs

 The Ultimate Time Traveler’s Guide to the Age of Dinosaurs Introduction: Welcome to the Mesozoic You have a remote control that allows you to rewind time. You press the button and hold it down. You see cities fade away, trees overgrow roads, and humans disappear. You keep rewinding past the Ice Age, past the first mammoths, until the remote control hits a huge number: 230 Million Years Ago. The atmosphere is more dense and warm. There is no grass (it hasn’t evolved yet!), and all the continents are combined into one huge super-continent called Pangea. This marks the beginning of the Mesozoic Era—the Age of Dinosaurs.  For the next 2,000 words, we will travel through time to see how these animals dominated the planet for 165 million years.

Chapter 1: The Triassic – Where it All Began The Triassic era was a period of renewal. The...
