Sinossi

Ancient Beasts explores the fascinating intersection of paleontology, mythology, and folklore, arguing that ancient myths may be rooted in the discovery of prehistoric creatures' fossilized remains. The book unveils how early humans, lacking modern scientific understanding, creatively interpreted these findings, incorporating "ancient beasts" into their cultural narratives. For example, legends of giants across various cultures might stem from the discovery of giant fossilized bones. The book investigates the science behind paleontology, including fossilization and dating techniques. It also examines global mythological traditions, identifying recurring motifs of monstrous beings. Structured in three parts, Ancient Beasts progresses from introducing basic concepts to analyzing case studies and drawing broader conclusions about the relationship between prehistoric life and human imagination. Discover how discoveries of fossils influenced the origins of mythology and our enduring fascination with the unknown.

    Rarely has there been a more confusing time to be a man. This uncertainty has spawned an array of bizarre and harmful underground subcultures, collectively known as the manosphere, as men search for new forms of belonging. 
     
    In Lost Boys, James Bloodworth delves into these underground worlds and asks where have they come from? Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? What does the emergence of these communities say about Western society? And what can we do about it? In the course of his journey he meets incels, enlists on a bootcamp for so-called 'alpha males', and speaks to modern day Hugh Hefners using social media to broadcast their jet set lifestyles to millions of followers. 
     
    Combining compulsive memoir with powerful reporting, fascinating international case studies, data, cultural analysis and history, Lost Boys is an essential guide to the crisis in contemporary masculinity.

    The Hot Glue Gun Chronicles is a winner of the 2023 Philosophy Media Group Publishing Competiton and the debut manuscript from poet & scholar Ashley Crooks-Allen. This collection of poetry explores themes of identity, healing, and belonging through the lens of an Afro-Latinx Queer identifying poet and scholar. 
    “The Hot Glue Gun Chronicles is a flamingassemblage of penetrating verse and poetic musicality. Crooks-Allen’s timely offering, in the tradition of Black queer poets like June Jordan and Pat Parker before them, does not shy away from the straight-up truth. In their words, we might very well locate the keys to our own internal freedom.” 
    - Darnell Moore, author of No Ashes in The Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America 
    "What an honor it has been to cultivate this manuscript and elevate the voice of Dr. Ashley Crooks-Allen. I published this book because I believe in its mission- to put together the broken and to create beauty from unexpected pieces. Ashley invites us to revisit subjects we may have fooled ourselves into thinking we'd moved on from- gently saying 'Aht-aht! There's more work to do here.'"
