| 520 | |a Fire-breathing, scale-flashing, wing-flapping, and tail-lashing - how do people from different cultures all have similar depictions of a fantastic reptilian monster which never existed? That is, if the dragon is pure imagination how do we account for the universality of its appearance and characteristics from Africa, to Europe, to Asia. So, why does a dragon look like a dragon the world over? David Jones finds the answer by searching for the biological and evolutionary basis for the dragon through time and space. Characterized by elegant writing and an international scope, Jones's account is unique. | ||
