Drawing on literature and art, theology and a wealth of first-hand evidence, Basilisks and Beowulf reveals a people huddled at the edge of the known map, using the fantastic and the grotesque as a way of comprehending the world around them. For the Anglo-Saxons, monsters helped to distinguish the sacred and the profane; they carried God’s message to mankind, exposing His divine hand in creation itself. At the same time, monsters were agents of disorder, seeking to kill people, conquer their lands and challenge what it meant to be human even. Learning about where monsters lived and how they behaved allowed the Anglo-Saxons to understand their place in the world, as well as to apprehend something of the divine plan. It is for these reasons that monsters were at the very centre of the Anglo-Saxon worldview. From map monsters to demons, dragons to Leviathan, we neglect them at our peril.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Uncharted territories were not valued for their splendour, but feared for the malign forces they hosted. Tim  Flight’s book covers the range of creatures that, in the Anglo-Saxon  imagination, make their home in such landscapes. From the mysterious  blemmyes, headless men with eyes on their chest, to cynocephali (literally, “dog-headed”), human-canine hybrids with cannibalistic  tendencies, it shows how the monstrous is associated with the “corruption of God’s design” – or, to put it another way, creatures that  are almost like humans or animals, but not quite . . . Flight’s book is at its best when it explores this early medieval  obsession with reinforcing and policing boundaries, and how it feeds  into imperial and colonial projects of the time. Demon-fighting is  compared with colonial expansion; defending the self against monsters  becomes a matter of national security.' – TLS; 'Monsters abound in the literature and art of Anglo-Saxon England. From the most famous work of Old English literature, Beowulf, which relates the adventures of a monster-slaying hero, to hagiographies that narrate encounters between saints and devils, strange creatures are everywhere in England's early Middle Ages. In Basilisks and Beowulf, Tim Flight describes these monsters and analyses their role in the Anglo-Saxon worldview . . . it's well worth the time of anyone interested in the history of monsters.' – Fortean Times; 'A bold and wide-ranging expedition into the wildest corners of the early medieval mind; Flight skilfully conjures the primal fears and ancient  wonders that once lurked in England’s shadowed groves and hollows.' – Thomas Williams, author of Viking Britain: A History; 'Although he wears his learning lightly, Tim Flight covers an impressive amount of ground to bring us his  thoughtful, stimulating account of monsters in the early medieval world. Moving from Beowulf’s historical context, through maps, wolves, dragons, devils, and the Grendelkin to present-day fears, Basilisks and Beowulf opens up a strange and yet hauntingly familiar world to anyone who has read  the poem or any of its multitudinous offspring.' – Dr Jennifer Neville, Royal Holloway, University of London; 'Immensely readable, thought-provoking and entertaining, this book is a splendid introduction to the though-world of the early English.' – Carolyne Larrington, BBC History Magazine; 'In this exploration of Anglo-Saxon monsters, Flight exhibits a deep knowledge of the Anglo-Saxon corpus and brings together a broad assortment of texts. Flight focuses on the dichotomy between wilderness – the domain of monsters – and civilization. In engaging prose, he explores how the boundaries between these domains shaped Anglo-Saxon perceptions of monsters. Whereas scholarly consideration of Anglo-Saxon monsters generally focuses on Beowulf, Flight includes works in which monsters are featured less conspicuously, such as the sea life in The Seafarer, St. Cuthbert’s battles against demons, and the etchings of curious monsters on Franks Casket (an early-eighth-century chest). But Flight certainly does not neglect Beowulf. He offers insight into symbolic representations of the dragon and the Grendelkin; the latter infiltrate the peace at Heorot and are, like St. Christopher in the Nowell Codex, part human. Flight also considers the hero Beowulf himself, whose size and strength render him akin to, though not part of, the realm of monsters. Other topics include wolves, map monsters, dragons, and whales, and a concluding chapter brings into discussion modern monsters such as Bigfoot and big cats in the UK.

From an early age we are taught that monsters do not exist. The reality is that monsters walk the earth today.  Explore the world through its most unlikely creatures. Cryptozoology, the study of hidden, monstrous, and legendary animals, is truly the art of discovering the unknown. Richard Freeman, Zoological Director of Centre for Fortean Zoology, has explored the corners of the five continents on the search for creatures that many people believe are non-existent. In this book, he shares the exciting stories of his investigations of the Yeti, Mongolian Deathworm, Loch Ness Monster, Orang-Pendak, Ninki-Naka, and more.  The line between myth and reality may be more narrow than you think. Cryptozoologists throughout the years have studied unknown species of reptiles, lake and sea creatures, apes, and hominins.

They lurk on the internet; they fill the pages of popular fantasy literature; they are hunted in Norwegian film. They are the homeless in California; they are comforting or threatening characters in children's books; they are amusing dolls. Although trolls are ubiquitous today, for centuries they were confined to the landscape of Scandinavia. They were beings in nature, and their environment was a pre-industrial world in which people lived by farming and fishing on a small scale. This book is a history of trolls from their first appearances in folk tales - some people reported actual encounters with trolls, and others found such encounters plausible even if they were not sure - and follows a natural transition from folklore to trolls in other domains of popular culture. Indeed, trolls would not be interesting had they not made this jump, first to illustrations in the Nordic book market, then on to Scandinavian literature and drama, and far beyond. Since then they have never gone away, and in their various guises they continue to appeal to the imagination around the world.

Abominable Science! is the defining work on cryptozoology of our generation. -- from the foreword by Michael Shermer, author of The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies Here, at last, is a scholarly, fully referenced work that presents a thoroughly reasonable, well-argued, skeptical perspective on some of the most iconic 'cryptids,' and it is fun to read and well illustrated to boot. Combining excellent and thorough research, ample references to the cryptozoological literature, and, most important, an appropriately level-headed, critical approach, Abominable Science! offers a novel, refreshing exploration of the world of cryptozoology. -- Darren Naish, National Oceanography Centre, University of Southampton Nearly everyone-scientist and layman alike-would love the Loch Ness monster and other 'cryptids' to be real. Daniel Loxton and Donald R. Prothero, in their riveting exploration of cryptozoology, readily admit that some species (such as the living coelacanth and even the mountain gorilla) remained hidden to human experience until relatively recently. Yet they insist on hard evidence, thus running counter to the preferences of those who prefer to believe. Abominable Science! is a well-told, engaging story of skepticism. Loxton and Prothero present a lucid and compelling case to counter the false claims of cryptozoology. -- Niles Eldredge, American Museum of Natural History, author of Darwin: Discovering the Tree of Life [Abominable Science!] is as valuable for its analysis of the hunted as it is for the light it shines on the still-hopeful hunters.

[An] entertaining and thoroughly documented book. -- Margaret Wertheim Wall Street Journal The authors, eminent and intrepid sceptics, seek evidence of fabulous big beasts and find nothing but fakes, folklore, pseudo-science and anecdote. -- Iain Finlayson The Times (London) [Abominable Science!] is a never less than rigorous examination of the evidence, and a cultural history of cryptozoology. -- Daniel Cressey Nature A good hard look at cryptozoology... Loxton and Prothero lay bare the psychological roots of why such mythical creatures exist in our own minds. The Scientist Skipping cryptozoology's usual sensationalism, [Abominable Science!] separates history and folklore from hoaxes and fakelore. -- Elisa Neckar Discover [Abominable Science!] successfully reveals the influence of popular culture on what we think we see. -- Henry Gee BBC Focus They offer us a sharp analysis of the quest for unreal critters-cryptids, as they are called-and the people who pursue them, shining an arc light onto the hoaxes and faked photos, the made-up films, faux corpses, delusions, lies and plain bad science that plague the field. -- Margaret Wertheim Barron's [Abominable Science!] goes back to the foundations of the Bigfoot legend and picks off the fur piece by piece. -- Christopher Farnsworth New York Post Fantastically thorough. -- Kyle Hill But Not Simpler blog, Scientific American An exhaustively-researched, color-illustrated volume that details the cultural forces (and often individual people) responsible for shaping these beasts in the public's imagination. -- Justin Hickey Open Letters Monthly Any science and nature collection should consider this a lively and loving acquisition.

The Skeptical Inquirer We still have a lot to learn from Bigfoot, and Loxton and Prothero are excellent teachers. -- Harriet Hall Skeptic Abominable Science! has to be regarded as one of the most important books ever written on cryptozoology, as well as one of the most meticulously researched. -- Darren Naish Scientific American's Tetrapod Zoology Blog [Abominable Science!] is fun and interesting, as well as thought-provoking and just a little bit strange. -- Axie Barclay Manhattan Book Review An immaculately produced book rivaling...
