Science of the Magical

From the Holy Grail to Love Potions to Superpowers

By: Matt Kaplan

From the author of The Science of Monsters, this engaging scientific inquiry provides a definitive look into the elements of mystical places and magical object--from the philosopher's stone, to love potions to the oracles--from ancient history, mythology, and contemporary culture. 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, noted science journalist Matt Kaplan plumbs the rich, lively, and surprising history of the magical objects, places, and rituals that infuse ancient and contemporary myth. Like Ken Jennings and Mary Roach, Kaplan 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 like Captain America, Kaplan ranges across 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 explores our world through the compelling scope of natural and human history and cutting-edge science."--

Bukowski's La

By: Matt Dukes Jordan

In Bukowski's LA, poet, journalist, novelist, artist, actor, filmmaker, and raconteur Matt Dukes Jordan takes Bukowski readers and fans on a comprehensive tour of Bukowski's Los Angeles. Jordan explores the relationship between Bukowski and the city that inspired him, revealing the depth of the connection between his life in his hometown and his artistic work. In a sense, this book is a biography of a creative spirit told through the places where he lived, wrote, painted, drank, and partied. It includes an annotated list of key Bukowski places, essays about Bukowski's relationship to L.A., maps, photos, drawings, a comic strip about Bukowski, poems, and a preface by Bukowski's friend and biographer, Neeli Cherkovski. This book is loaded with information and cool images that Bukowski fans will enjoy! Plus it has one more special feature: a section of rare, unpublished photos by Sam Cherry, a friend of Buk's, and father of Neeli Cherkovski.
