But what if there were, lurking in the shadows, other forms of life that are not so familiar, creatures created not by Nature, but by Man? We know their names-Frankenstein, the Golem, the homunculi of the ancient alchemists; they exist in our stories and myths. But just what are these mysterious creatures, and do they actually have some basis in reality? In his fascinating and wide-ranging new book, Dr. Bob Curran explores man-made monsters and the truth behind the myths. You'll learn fascinating details about: • The 19th century scientist who tried to bring the dead back to life-the model for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein • The Man of Clay who lumbered through the streets of medieval Prague at the command of early rabbis • Tales of robots that may have existed in the ancient world and threatened Greek and Roman warriors. • Cloning and the artificial creation of life, and what strange and mysterious areas they may be heading into. Man-Made Monsters is essential reading for anyone who wants to explore artificial beings and peer into the dark recesses of the human mind... where they may indeed be hiding.
