Description

undefined* Description * "Filled with cool cocktail-party tidbits, Matt Kan considers how things that were once the stuff of legends could one day become reality" (The Atlantic) in this fun scientific inquiry into the mystical places and magical objects of ancient and contemporary lore--from the fountain of youth, to love potions, to Super Mario's mushrooms. Can migrations of birds foretell our future? Do phases of the moon hold sway over our lives? Are there sacred springs that cure the ill? What is the best way to brew a love potion? How do we create mutant humans who regenerate like Wolverine? "In Science of the Magical, Matt Kan takes us on a journey spiced with the wonders of myth, history and art, leavened with impeccable research, endlessly fascinating. And the result is both a compelling read and a deeply thoughtful exploration of the world around us and the ways we seek to understand it" (Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook). Like Ken Jennings and Mary Roach, Kan serves as a friendly armchair guide to the world of the supernatural. From the strengthening powers of Viking mead to the super soldiers in movies such as Captain America, Kan explores cultures and time periods to point out that there is often much more to these enduring magical narratives than mere fantasy. Informative and entertaining, Science of the Magical is "a sprightly survey" (The Wall Street Journal) and "a joy to read...highly recommended" (Library Journal, starred review).Edition: Reprint Number of Pages: 256 Genre: Science Sub-Genre: General Format: Paperback Publisher: Scribner Book Company Author: Matt Kan Language: English Estimated shipping dimensions: 5.4INCH X 8.3INCH X 1.0INCH DPCI : 248-35-8487 UPC : 9781476777115 TCIN : 51860180 Estimated shippimg weight: 0.45POUND
