The Flight of Dragons ReviewPeter Dickinson's classic book on such imponderables as how (and why) dragons fly is one of my favorite books on the care and feeding of our scaled neighbors. He goes into great detail about what it takes to get a 20,000-pound appetite up into the air and speeding to its next meal. Sometimes slightly tongue-in-cheek, Dickinson draws on legend and story to create a delightful theory that takes the imaginary and makes it real.
Not satisfied with explaining away the impossible, Dickinson goes on to explore the dragon life cycle, habitat and sociology. I took particular delight in the section that explains that most horrific of monsters, the george, otherwise known as 'the mean man in the tin can.' He is quite outspoken about the monstrous atrocities committed in the name of 'dragon-slaying.' And for doubters, there is even a section citing the evidences for the existence of dragons. Of course, those of us who drive from peak to peak dragon-watching in our ancient Volkswagen busses need no further evidence.
The other delight in this book is the rich illustration by Wayne Anderson. We find dragons cute and fearsome, old and new. The work is both beautiful and whimsical, and you will find yourself returning to the images countless times, whenever the dream starts to fade. The book is both beautiful and fun - a worthwhile addition to the mythophile's library.The Flight of Dragons Overview

Treasures of the Ancients ReviewThere are lots of problems with this book, starting with the credence the author gives to at least three forgeries. The Padilla plates and the Soper/Savage aritfacts from Michigan are demonstrated forgeries, as are the Kinderhook Plates. Jose Davila, the self-taught reader of Reformed Egyptian, has done something nobody else has ever done, that is, figure out what Reformed Egyptian looks like and how to read it. And 9-foot tall blonde Mongol mummies?? Where's the proof? If Shaffer actually has an archaeology degree, he knows how to document these things, and he didn't get it done in this book.Treasures of the Ancients OverviewTremendous information as well as many artifacts and ancient writings have been brought to light during the past one-hundred years to prove that the Americas were once populated earlier than ever believed.But who were these people?Why did they suddenly disappear?More importantly, did they leave any records to tell of theirl existence and civilization?What about the strange writings of Manti, Fillmore, Cedar City, Pariette Draw, Nephi, and Lake Powell, all in Utah?What about the Aztec copper bowl of Currant Creek, the Gold plate of the Wasatch front, the Lead plates of the Myton Bench, the Manti tablets, the Kinderhook plates and the Soper/Savage collection in the LDS Church Archives?Best-selling author Stephen Shaffer explores these mysteries and remnants of a forgotten people.
