Download or read book Dragon written by Martin Arnold and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fire-breathing beasts of North European myth and legend to the Book of Revelation’s Great Red Dragon of Hell, from those supernatural agencies of imperial authority in ancient China to the so-called dragon-women who threaten male authority, dragons are a global phenomenon, one that has troubled humanity for thousands of years. These often scaly beasts take a wide variety of forms and meanings, but there is one thing they all have in common: our fear of their formidable power and, as a consequence, our need either to overcome, appease, or in some way assume that power as our own. In this fiery cultural history, Martin Arnold asks how these unifying impulses can be explained. Are they owed to our need to impose order on chaos in the form of a dragon-slaying hero? Is it our terror of nature, writ large, unleashed in its most destructive form? Or is the dragon nothing less than an expression of that greatest and most disturbing mystery of all: our mortality? Tracing the history of ideas about dragons from the earliest of times to Game of Thrones, Arnold explores exactly what it might be that calls forth such creatures from the darkest corners of our collective imagination.

Download or read book Touching the Dragon written by James Hatch and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Jimmy Hatch is a personal hero of mine.” —Anderson Cooper “Irresistible. . . . A wounded SEAL’s shame becomes a salvation.” —J. Ford Huffman, Military Times James Hatch is a former special ops Navy SEAL senior chief, master naval parachutist, and expert military dog trainer and handler. On his fateful final mission in Afghanistan, his SEAL team was sent to recover Bowe Bergdahl—the soldier who deserted his post and fell into the hands of Al-Qaida and the Taliban. The mission went south, and Hatch was left with a shattered femur from an AK-47 round and the SEAL dog who fought alongside him was dead. As a result of his horrific leg wound, his twenty-four-year military career came to an end—and with it the only life he’d ever known. In Touching the Dragon, we witness his long road to recovery. Getting well physically required eighteen surgeries, twelve months of recovery, and learning to walk again. But getting well mentally would prove to be much tougher, as he fought through the depths of despair, alcoholism, and the pull to end his own life. What emerges is a different kind of hero’s journey, one in which Hatch shows the courage it takes to confess, confront, and overcome his own brokenness. Through the love of family, friends, and his military dogs, Hatch learned remarkable tools and found his purpose, and now he wants to share this wisdom with the rest of us because we all have wounds.

Sir Stephen and Sir Henry were brave and bold knights who overcame fear and frustration to find young dragons and make them their friends. Stories about their adventures teach youths how to face and tame the Dragons of Fear and Frustration and make them powerful friendly forces. Sir Stephen was naturally fearful and cautious. He had pick a good plan and build up his courage courage to face his fear. His long lost brother, Sir Henry, was fearless, but challenged by frustration that burned in him like the fire of the dragon. He had to cool the fire of his frustration so he could think of a plan to achieve his goals. Both knights befriended young dragons that grew to become powerful helpers. The Dragon of Fear became "Protector Dragon" and protected the village sheep from packs of wolves. The Dragon of Frustration became "Sir Drag-on" and pulled huge logs to help construct buildings in the village. The brothers and their dragon friends had great adventures together, and they all learned from each other. Fearful Stephen was a cautious and careful planner, but he had to learn that bold action was sometimes needed. Fearless Henry was naturally quick to act, but he had to learn to "look before he leaped' and think before he acted. Protector Dragon was afraid of his own fire, but had to learn to use his fire in a controlled way to keep the village safe. Sir Drag-on had explosive power, but he had to learn to cool his fire so he wouldn't set the woods ablaze. The knights and their dragon friends had complimentary characteristics. Each of their natural tendencies became strengths in certain situations. Bold Sir Henry faced the river currents without fear when he acted to save Sir Stephen, while Stephen developed a plan to safely face the river rapids when cautious preparation was needed to save Henry. Protector Dragon used his more fearful nature to warn of approaching danger and save the village sheep, while explosive Sir Drag-on used his power to pull huge stones to help build a large town hall in the village. The nights and their dragon friends became a closely connected team. They worked together and took turns being brave enough to face fears and bold enough to fight frustrations, as they all learned from each other.
