Book Description
The Untold Stories of Heroic Felines Throughout History Across the annals of time, from the grand temples of ancient Egypt to the treacherous trenches of World War I, cats have silently woven themselves into the tapestry of human conflicts, providing unwavering companionship, critical pest control, and morale boosts during the darkest hours. Whiskers in War: The Unsung Feline Heroes of History takes readers on an enthralling journey through the shadowed pages of history, revealing the pivotal yet often overlooked role of these enigmatic creatures. You'll discover the revered status of cats in ancient civilisations, where they protected precious grain stores and accompanied Roman legions in their conquests. The Middle Ages present an era of superstition and tumult, where amidst the chaos of the Black Plague, felines emerged as unlikely allies. Their presence in castles not only kept the rodent population in check but also provided a silent comfort to their human counterparts. Aboard naval ships during the Napoleonic Wars, cats served as vigilant mousers, a tradition carried on through the American Civil War and beyond. Their stories are not just tales of rodent hunting; they are accounts of loyalty and resilience, embodying the unspoken bond between human and animal. World Wars brought unprecedented horrors, yet amidst the carnage, these brave felines provided solace on the home front and aboard warships. Each chapter delves deeper into modern conflicts, shedding light on how these remarkable animals have adapted to changing terrains and warfare technology, all while maintaining their invaluable role. This meticulously researched book, richly peppered with historical anecdotes and veteran accounts, invites readers to rediscover history from a feline perspective. Immerse yourself in the page-turning saga of survival, loyalty, and the enduring spirit of these extraordinary cat heroes who have silently stood beside soldiers, sharing in both their battles and their peace.

Mysterious Creatures [2 volumes]
Author: George M. Eberhart
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1576077640
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 772
Book Description
A comprehensive guide to cryptozoology—the quest to identify animals that have not been officially catalogued by science and to place these unknown animals into their proper zoological categories. In this fascinating two-volume encyclopedia, author George M. Eberhart provides a comprehensive catalog of nearly 1,000 cryptids—unknown animals usually reported through eyewitness accounts and not yet described by science. Cryptids are the stuff of folklore, hoaxes, and genuine scientific breakthroughs. There are 400 now-classified cryptids once considered either extinct or pure fantasy. The cryptozoologist's job is to strip away the myth, misidentification, and mystery—and separate fact from fiction. Mysterious Creatures covers everything from dinosaurs and the emala-ntouka, an elephant-killing dinosaur-like animal of central Africa, to searches for the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, and other cryptozoological hoaxes. Entries about specific animals include the derivation or meaning of each cryptid's name, its scientific name, variant names, a physical description, behavior, description of tracks, habitat, significant sightings, present status, and possible explanations. Illustrations and photographs accompany many entries. The book also includes resources and references for further information.
