Synopsis

Here be Dragons. Not cute, whimsical critters from childhood fancies, but real Dragons - fierce, dangerous, wondrous, and wild. They do not require our belief; they never have. With hard science, myth, metaphysics, and empirical wisdom, "The Dragon Keeper's Handbook" puts everything you need to know about Dragons at your fingertips. From disparate theories of Dragon evolution and the golden geometry of their form to modern conservation efforts and how to release a well-weaned orphan back into the wild, this book answers all your questions, even those you didn't know to ask. From awe-inspiring Cosmic Creators to wee Pisuhands guarding hearth and home, journey through the habits and habitats of Dragons both familiar and rare. "The Dragon Keeper's Handbook" shows us how human and Dragon lives are bound together and why Dragons are now and ever-will-be relevant: in their wildness lie lessons for us all.
