The Great Book of Monsters with Fantastic Experiments for Inquiring Youth

Ancient legends spoke of the manuscript of the great Kaliostro, which contained knowledge about the most terrifying and mysterious monsters. No one has seen it, but rumors said that once a year, on the hottest summer full moon, it appears... in the mouth of an erupting volcano. Scientists laughed at the legend, but there was a brave soul who set off to the highest volcano and, waiting for the moment, risked his life to fish a scroll with ancient knowledge from the lava. It is this scroll, copied, supplemented with experiments, and formatted into a book, that you hold in your hands. May this book brighten your leisure hours and fill you with ancient wisdom accessible only to the chosen! The world around us is filled with monsters, spirits, and other supernatural beings. They instill fear in people, causing them to be afraid of darkness and the unknown. But each of us understands that monsters are merely the creations of human imagination, which relied on real observable phenomena. Each monster's appearance has its reasons, which can be explained from the perspectives of modern science and human psychology. How did certain monsters arise? What are the reasons for their birth and evolution? Why do we imagine them in exactly these forms? Answers to these and other questions can be found in this book. Its pages contain information about 44 monsters, supplemented with experiments from various fields of science and technology.
