Books
An Instinct for Dragons
"During research on African monkeys, David E. Jones' accidental love affair with the dragon began. Spotting a picture of the monkey's predators - an eagle, a leopard, and a python - Jones unwittingly combined the features from all three into one beast. Amazingly, this mythical and monstrous creature was instantly recognizable.". "In a vast synthesis of art, mythology, history, and anthropology, Jones discovers that the dragon is, in fact, a universal image. Captivating, myth-breaking, and eloquent, An Instinct for Dragons decodes the ancient puzzle of the oldest, the first and the most basic monster."--BOOK JACKET.
