Inhoud:

Over centuries, discoveries of fossil bones spawned legends of mythological monsters such as giants and dragons. This study examines how these beasts morphed in the public imagination into mythical, powerful engines of destruction, taking their place in popular culture, film, and literature as symbols of 'lost worlds' where time stands still.
