    "This exploration of the 'Mythical Elsewhere' explores a wide array of places, from the well known to the obscure, through the eyes of historians, explorers, conquerors, and writers across the ages. Lose yourself in the past as you travel to such destinations as Troy, the Mughal Empire, the Congo, the river Nile, El Dorado, and many more. Since time immemorial, dreamlands like these have haunted the accounts of great explorers, erudite historians, and the minds of humankind. Over the centuries, these lands have become imbued with a mysterious aura, but through the maps and descriptions in this unique atlas, they are able to be visited once again. Embark on this poetic exploration of the world, accompanied by the great explorers of antiquity and Renaissance as well as poets, scholars, and novelists of all eras. Let such greats as Herodotus, Marco Polo, Christopher Columbus, and Heinrich Schliemann be your guide on this journey to dreamlike places that are sometimes imagined and imaginary but, to those who believe, always "perfectly real."​ It's a trip you will never forget"--Back cover

    A treasury of astonishing mythic marvels—and the surprising truths behind themAdrienne Mayor is renowned for exploring the borders of history, science, archaeology, anthropology, and popular knowledge to find historical realities and scientific insights—glimmering, long-buried nuggets of truth—embedded in myth, legends, and folklore. Combing through ancient texts and obscure sources, she has spent decades prospecting for intriguing wonders and marvels, historical mysteries, diverting anecdotes, and hidden gems from antiquity, medieval, and modern times. Flying Snakes and Griffin Claws is a treasury of fifty of her most amazing and amusing discoveries.The book explores such subjects as how mirages inspired legends of cities in the sky; the true identity of winged serpents in ancient Egypt; how ghost ships led to the discovery of the Gulf Stream; and the beauty secrets of ancient Amazons. Other pieces examine Arthur Conan Doyle’s sea serpent and Geronimo’s dragon; Flaubert’s obsession with ancient Carthage; ancient tattooing practices; and the strange relationship between wine goblets and women’s breasts since the times of Helen of Troy and Marie Antoinette. And there’s much, much more.Showcasing Mayor’s trademark passion not to demythologize myths, but to uncover the fascinating truths buried beneath them, Flying Snakes and Griffin Claws is a wonder cabinet of delightful curiosities

    Guibert, Abt von Nogent († um 1125), bekannt vor allem durch seine autobiographische Schrift, tritt uns in seiner polemischen Stellungnahme zum zeitgenössischen Reliquienkult als beinahe aufgeklärter Mensch entgegen. Auf der anderen Seite berichtet er in seinen Werken auch immer wieder von Eingriffen göttlicher oder teuflischer Macht in seine Welt. Karin Fuchs stellt diese Berichte ins Zentrum ihrer Studie: Welche Ereignisse deutete Guibert als Wunder, wie wurden sie kommuniziert, und welche Funktionen hatten überirdische Zeichen in seinen Schriften und für die intellektuelle Gemeinschaft, in der er sich als Mönch und Abt bewegte? Review text: "A much-needed contribution to religious life and learned debates in medieval times." International Review of Biblical Studies 54 (2007/2008) " ...stellt insgesamt einen gediegenen Beitrag zur Erforschung eines der komplexesten Phänomene der mittelalterlichen Welt dar." Das Mittelalter, Nr. 16 (2011)

    "Military intelligence analyst and Harvard Law student Tyler Vigen illustrates the golden rule that "correlation does not equal causation" through hilarious graphs inspired by his viral website. Is there a correlation between Nick Cage films and swimming pool accidents? What about beef consumption and people getting struck by lightning? Absolutely not. But that hasn't stopped millions of people from going to tylervigen.com and asking, "Wait, what?" Vigen has designed software that scours enormous data sets to find unlikely statistical correlations.
