Btw, this is by far the best dragon book I ever owned and read and everything dragon ever. Dragon.

I've been struggling to find it for years cause I had the Greek version and it had a different cover with no mentions of who the actual writer was.

It absolutely rocks. Artwork is great, and the writing and presentation are just as fantastic.

(The actual author is Joseph Nigg)

What's your review of the tarasque from one of my childhood dragon books? (Joseph Nigg, John Topsell: How to Raise and Keep a Dragon)

This guy was always one of my favourites from this book. So chunky and unique-looking. Thanks for reminding me it exists :D

FANTASTIC Beast 10/10 I desperately want to be friends with it

2021 Reading Log, pt 16

76. Sea Monsters by Joseph Nigg. This is a book devoted to one aspect of one piece of art: the sea monsters on the Carta Marina by Olaus Magnus from 1530. The book posits the Carta Marina’s information as a transitional point between medieval bestiary and actual natural history observation. For each monster, we get a translation of Magnus’ writings on the map in his History, a look at the artistic and scientific influences on each, how that monster would influence others, and a discussion of the (sometimes putative) real organisms the monsters are based on. A deep dive and a real treat, I highly recommend this for monster fans.

77. Gory Details by Erika Engelhaupt. This is a revised and expanded version of a National Geographic blog, which I did not know when I picked the book up. Each chapter covers the science of something dark, weird, gross or scary—raising maggots for food, the psychology of creepiness, how earwax works and why isolated feet keep washing up on one particular beach, for example. The book draws heavily on primary sources, and is written in a fun and engaging style. Fans of science and gross things should check this out—this was one of the more fun books I’ve read this year.

78. The Founding Myth by Andrew L. Seidel. The subtitle of the book is “Why Christian Nationalism is Un-American”, and the author is a constitutional lawyer. It seems aimed at a very niche audience—people who love America and respect the philosophical grounding of the Constitution but are alright with angry atheism. The book skips all the way from “Christianity has no place in American government” to “Christianity is inherently evil and wrong” almost instantly (Christopher Hitchens is listed in the acknowledgements, to give you an idea of the magnitude of misotheism here). It does do a good job at outlining the intentions of the Founding Fathers via their own words, and in explaining the origins of “In God We Trust” on coinage and other rhetorical jousts favored by Christian nationalists. But it strikes me somewhat as being 300 pages of preaching to the choir.

79. Marvel Monsterbus Vol 1. by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby. I read a compilation of Marvel Monster stories last year, and this is a much larger and more complete collection. It isn’t fully complete—it doesn’t collect all of the monster stories from Journey into Mystery, Strange Tales and the like. Only those penciled by Jack Kirby. Which means I would have to shell out for another collection if I wanted to read about Mummex the Living Mummy or Rro, the Thing from the Bottomless Pit! These stories predate the company branding itself as Marvel Comics, and a fair number of the monsters have names and/or powers that forecast later Marvel characters. There’s a Hulk, a Thorr, a Sandman, a Magneto, and both a Mr. Vandoom and a Doctor Droom. As for the stories themselves… they’re simple, fun, and repetitive enough that I read this book maybe 40 pages at a time over the last two weeks. The best thing is the wacky names the monsters have: Stan Lee was a genius for names. Check out some of my faves:

Grottu! King of the Insects!

Gorgolla! The Living Gargoyle!

Dragoom! The Flaming Invader!

Rorrg! King of the Spider Men!

Goom! The Thing from Planet X!

Gruto! The Creature from Nowhere!

Rommbu!

Googam! Son of Goom!

Spragg! Conqueror of the Human Race!

Manoo!

Trull! The Inhuman!

80. Dirty Old London by Lee Jackson. After the debacle that was Smells, I was on the lookout for actual histories of hygiene and sanitation. This was one of the first I found. The topic is 19th century London in particular, and how its various improvements to smoke, rubbish and sewage disposal were piecemeal and only occasionally effective. The highly compartmentalized nature of London politics and the desire to turn waste management into a profit making enterprise were the two major obstacles to comprehensive reform, and the author notes that things haven’t gotten much better in the present day.
