Sinopse

Legends of Beasts explores the fascinating world of mythical creatures and their profound impact on human history and culture. It argues that these beasts, like dragons and unicorns, are not mere figments of imagination but powerful cultural artifacts reflecting humanity's deepest fears and aspirations. For example, sea monsters often represent the unknown dangers of the natural world, while forest spirits embody our connection to the environment. 

 
The book adopts a thematic approach, tracing the evolution of archetypes across different cultures and time periods, revealing surprising similarities and differences. Beginning with the origins of these legends and their symbolic weight in archaic cultures, the study progresses to the rise of legendary creatures in established religions and culminates in a dissection of their lasting impact in modern entertainment and even technological design. This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how legends shape our understanding of the world.

    The definitive account of the Dalton Gang and the most brazen bank heist in history, by the multiple New York Times bestselling author. The Last Outlaws is the thrilling true story of the last of one of the greatest outlaw gang. The dreaded Dalton Gang consisted of three brothers and their rotating cast of colorful accomplices who saw themselves as descended from the legendary James brothers. They soon became legends themselves, beginning their career as common horse thieves before graduating to robbing banks and trains. On October 5, 1892, the Dalton Gang attempted their boldest and bloodiest raid yet: robbing two banks in broad daylight in Coffeyville, Kansas, simultaneously. As Grat, Bob, and Emmett Dalton and Bill Power and Dick Broadwell crossed the plaza to enter the two buildings, the outlaws were recognized by townspeople, who raised the alarm. Citizens armed themselves with shotguns and six-shooters from nearby hardware stores and were locked and loaded when the thieves emerged from the banks. The ensuing gun battle was a lead-filled firefight of epic proportions. As the smoke cleared, eight men lay dead––including four of the five members of the doomed Dalton Gang. For the first time ever, the full story of the Dalton Gang's life of crime, culminating in one of the Wild West’s most violent events, are chronicled in detail––a last gruesome gasp of the age of gunfights.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
