Specifikacia Geomythology (Burbery Timothy J.)
Gold-guarding griffins, Cyclopes, killer lakes, man-eating birds, and "fire devils" from the sky--such wonders have long been dismissed as fictional. Now, thanks to the richly interdisciplinary field of geomythology, researchers are taking a second look. It turns out that these and similar tales, which originated in pre-literate societies, contain surprisingly accurate, pre-scientific intuitions about startling or catastrophic earth-based phenomena such as volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and the unearthing of bizarre animal bones. Geomythology: How Common Stories are Related to Earth Events provides an accessible, engaging overview of this hybrid discipline. The introduction surveys geomythology's remarkable history and its core concepts, while the second and third chapters analyze the geomythical resonances of universal earth tales such as dragons and giants.
