| cryptozoologicon volume i: The Great Dinosaur Discoveries Darren Naish, 2009 This elegantly illustrated volume is a journey through more than two centuries of remarkable discovery. Books on dinosaurs are usually arranged by classification or epoch, but this unique work tells the story chronologically, in order of the key finds that shaped our understanding and brought these creatures to life for the public. From the fragmentary remains of giant extinct animals found in the early 1800s to the dinosaur wars in the American West to the amazing near-complete skeletons found around the world today, Darren Naish tells how these discoveries have led not only to the recognition of new species and whole new groups, but also to new theories of evolutionary history. Along the way, we encounter dinosaurs both familiar and obscure-including Tyrannosaurus rex, the giant sauropods, and most recently, the feathered dinosaurs of China. As he describes these significant finds, Naish explains in clear, accessible language, how our ideas about dinosaur appearance, biology, and behavior have developed and changed over time, and what the state of knowledge is today. * Discusses each major dinosaur group * Illuminates the human side of fossil discoveries by describing explorers, scientists, and artists * Beautifully designed pages feature extensive captions, engaging text, and sidebars throughout on select topics of interest * Almost 200 illustrations include historical and contemporary photographs, art works, drawings, and maps |
| cryptozoologicon volume i: The Resurrectionist E. B. Hudspeth, 2013-05-21 “Disturbingly lovely . . . The Resurrectionist is itself a cabinet of curiosities, stitching history and mythology and sideshow into an altogether different creature. Deliciously macabre and beautifully grotesque.”—Erin Morgenstern, author of The Night Circus This macabre tale—part dark fantasy, part Gray’s Anatomy—tells the chilling story of a man driven mad by his search for the truth, with hypnotic and horrifying images. Philadelphia, the late 1870s. A city of gas lamps, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages—and home to the controversial surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a grave robber, young Dr. Black studies at Philadelphia’s esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: that the mythological beasts of legend and lore—including mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs—were in fact humanity's evolutionary ancestors. And beyond that, he wonders: what if there was a way for humanity to reach the fuller potential these ancestors implied? The Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first part is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from his childhood spent exhuming corpses through his medical training, his travels with carnivals, his cruel and crazed experiments, and, finally, his mysterious disappearance. The second part is Black’s magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray’s Anatomy for mythological beasts, all rendered in meticulously detailed anatomical illustrations. |
| cryptozoologicon volume i: Palaeoartist's Handbook Mark P Witton, 2018-08-23 Extinct worlds live again in palaeoart: artworks of fossil animals, plants and environments carefully reconstructed from palaeontological and geological data. Such artworks are widespread in popular culture, appearing in documentaries, museums, books and magazines, and inspiring depictions of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals in cinema. This book outlines how fossil animals and environments can be reconstructed from their fossils, explaining how palaeoartists overcome gaps in fossil data and predict 'soft-tissue' anatomies no longer present around fossil bones. It goes on to show how science and art can meet to produce compelling, interesting takes on ancient worlds, and it explores the goals and limitations of this popular but rarely discussed art genre. Multiple chapters with dozens of illustrations of fossil animal reconstruction, with specific guidance on fossil amphibians, mammals and their fossil relatives, and a myriad of fossil reptiles (including dinosaurs). Explores how best to present diverse fossil animal forms in art - how best to convey size, proportion and motion in landscapes without familiar reference points. Explains essential techniques for the aspiring palaeoartists, from understanding geological time and evolutionary relationships to rebuilding skeletons and muscles. Suggests where and how to gather reliable sources of data for palaeoartworks. Includes a history of palaeoart, outlining the full evolution of the medium from ancient times to the modern day. Examines stylistic variation in palaeoart. Showcases diverse artworks from world-leading contemporary palaeoartists. Palaeoartistry is a popular but rarely discussed art genre. This new book outlines how fossil animals and environments can be reconstructed from their fossils. Of great interest to everyone interested in palaeoartistry, dinosaurs, natural history and fossils. Superbly illustrated with 195 colour images. Dr Mark P Witton is an author, palaeontological artist and researcher whose palaeoartworks have featured in numerous research papers, television shows, museums and art galleries. |

| cryptozoologicon volume i: Problematic Wildlife Francesco M. Angelici, 2015-12-18 This book provides insight into the instances in which wildlife species can create problems. Some species trigger problems for human activities, but many others need humans to save them and to continue to exist. The text addresses issues faced by economists and politicians dealing with laws involving actions undertaken to resolve the problems of the interaction between humans and wildlife. Here, the words ‘problematic species’ are used in their broadest sense, as may be appreciated in the short introductions to the various sections. At times, the authors discuss special cases while always extending the discussion into a more general and broad vision. At others, they present real cutting-edge analysis of ecological topics and issues. The book will be of interest to biologists, ecologists and wildlife managers involved in research on wildlife, parks, and environmental management, as well as to government departments and agencies, NGOs and conservation wildlife organizations. Even those in contact with nature, such as hunters, herders, and farmers, will be able to find a great deal of important information. Specific case studies are selected from among the most significant and prevalent cases throughout the world. A total of 26 papers have been selected for this book, written by zoologists, biologists and ecologists. Many have an interdisciplinary approach, with contributions by economists, criminologists, technical specialists, and engineers. |
| cryptozoologicon volume i: Future Evolution Peter D. Ward, 2002-01-06 Everyone wonders what tomorrow holds, but what will the real future look like? Not decades or even hundreds of years from now, but thousands or millions of years into the future. Will our species change radically? Or will we become builders of the next dominant intelligence on Earth- the machine? These and other seemingly fantastic scenarios are the very possible realities explored in Peter Ward's Future Evolution, a penetrating look at what might come next in the history of the planet. Looking to the past for clues about the future, Ward describes how the main catalyst for evolutionary change has historically been mass extinction. While many scientist direly predict that humanity will eventually create such a situation, Ward argues that one is already well underway--the extinction of large mammals--and that a new Age of Humanity is coming that will radically revise the diversity of life on Earth. Finally, Ward examines the question of human extinction and reaches the startling conclusion that the likeliest scenario is not our imminent demise but long term survival--perhaps reaching as far as the death of the Sun! Full of Alexis Rockman's breathtaking color images of what animals, plants and other organisms might look like thousands and millions of years from now, Future Evolution takes readers on an incredible journey through time from the deep past into the far future. |

| cryptozoologicon volume i: The Loch Ness Mystery Solved Ronald Binns, 1984 There is no scientific evidence whatsoever for the existence of the Loch Ness Monster. That is the conclusion reached by Ronald Binns in his book, The Loch Ness Mystery: Solved. The real mystery of the monster, writes Binns, is why it should periodically seize the wider public imagination and continue to be given credence, even when much of the evidence can be shown to be suspect. Loch Ness, the most famous stretch of water in the British Isles, is a strange and compelling place. Its dark waters are shadowed by mountains, it shores craggy and inhospitable. Loch Ness provides a gloomy, romantic setting for what has come to be known as the greatest riddle of modern natural history. Since 1933, there have been hundreds of sightings of the alleged monster. This is the definitive account of the alleged monster and its curious environment. Ronald Binns takes a new look at the enigma by investigating the original sightings of the beast and scrutinizing the eyewitness evidence for its existence. The book explains precisely what the monster is, and publishes for the first time many remarkable photographs. These pictures are shown alongside the classic pictures of the monster. Binns' pursuit and analysis of the evidence and his convincing solution of this great mystery are as enthralling as a detective story. |

Brève présentation des chapitres : 1 : Humanoïde : une introduction à la robotique humanoïde, explorant sa conception et sa fonctionnalité. 2 : Bipédie : se concentre sur l'évolution du mouvement bipède, crucial pour la conception humanoïde. 3 : Vie extraterrestre : étudie le potentiel de vie sur d'autres planètes et ses implications. 4 : Paradoxe de Fermi : discute de la contradiction entre la forte probabilité de civilisations extraterrestres et le manque de preuves. 5 : Alien gris : explore la signification culturelle et scientifique de la représentation classique de l'extraterrestre gris. 6 : Troodon : analyse le dinosaure Troodon, souvent considéré comme une espèce avancée et intelligente. 7 : Alienators : Evolution Continues : examine comment l'évolution spéculative peut conduire à des formes humanoïdes ailleurs dans l'univers. 8 : Vaisseau spatial auto-réplicatif : examine le concept de vaisseau spatial capable de se répliquer pour explorer des mondes lointains. 9 : Stenonychosaurus : se concentre sur le Stenonychosaurus, un dinosaure lié à l'évolution humanoïde dans la pensée spéculative. 10 : Great Filter : explore l'idée qu'un filtre évolutionnaire peut expliquer pourquoi nous n'avons pas trouvé d'autres civilisations intelligentes. 11 : Alien Planet : étudie les types d'environnements susceptibles de soutenir une vie intelligente sur des planètes extraterrestres. 12 : Expedition (livre) : se penche sur la quête humaine pour explorer l'inconnu et découvrir des formes de vie extraterrestres. 13 : Mythologie de Stargate : analyse l’impact des séries de science-fiction comme Stargate sur notre compréhension des civilisations extraterrestres. 14 : The New Dinosaurs : spécule sur l’émergence de nouvelles espèces de dinosaures si les humains n’avaient jamais existé. 15 : Darren Naish : une plongée en profondeur dans les contributions de Naish à la paléontologie et ses vues sur l’évolution humanoïde. 16 : Dale Russell : discute du travail de Russell sur l’hypothèse des « dinosauroïdes », selon laquelle les dinosaures évoluent vers des formes humanoïdes. 17 : Les anciens astronautes dans la culture populaire : étudie comment l’idée d’anciens astronautes a influencé les perceptions modernes de la vie extraterrestre. 18 : Évolution spéculative : explore comment les théories de l’évolution spéculative façonnent notre compréhension des futurs êtres humanoïdes. 19 : La biologie dans la fiction : examine le rôle de la biologie dans la création de mondes et de formes de vie fictifs crédibles. 20 : Dinosauroid : explore la théorie de l'évolution humanoïde à partir des dinosaures et ses implications. 21 : Ardipithecus : se concentre sur l'un des premiers hominidés connus et son importance dans la compréhension de l'évolution humanoïde. Ce livre n'est pas seulement un recueil de faits et de théories ; c'est une exploration complète qui relie la robotique, l'évolution et la science spéculative. Que vous conceviez des robots de pointe, que vous étudiiez la paléontologie ou que vous vous intéressiez à l'avenir de l'exploration spatiale, « Humanoid » offre des informations essentielles qui sont à la fois intellectuellement stimulantes et utiles sur le plan pratique. |
| cryptozoologicon volume i: Bigfoot to Mothman Margo DeMello, 2024-01-25 This one-volume encyclopedia introduces readers to the world's cryptids-those hidden or secret animals believed to exist at the margins of human society-including Bigfoot, Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Mothman. Comprehensive in its scope, this book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to know more about well-known creatures of myth and legend, such as the Chupacabra and the Jersey Devil, and discover lesser-known animals, such as the Bunyip of Australia and the Mamlambo of South Africa. Rather than purport to prove or deny the existence of these creatures, however, this volume classifies them within their respective cultural, historical, and social contexts, allowing readers to appreciate cryptids as cultural artifacts important to societies around the globe. Finally, this book goes beyond the study of the unknown to investigate who believes in cryptids, why they do, and why the study of cryptozoology is as much about understanding cryptids as it is about understanding ourselves. |
