Descriere magazin:
Absolutely perfect for the current moment. --Buzzfeed America\'s favorite cultural historian and author of Ghostland takes a tour of the country\'s most persistent unexplained phenomena In a world where rational, scientific explanations are more available than ever, belief in the unprovable and irrational--in fringe--is on the rise: from Atlantis to aliens, from Flat Earth to the Loch Ness monster, the list goes on. It seems the more our maps of the known world get filled in, the more we crave mysterious locations full of strange creatures. Enter Colin Dickey , Cultural Historian and Tour Guide of the Weird. With the same curiosity and insight that made Ghostland a hit with readers and critics, Colin looks at what all fringe beliefs have in common, explaining that today\'s Illuminati is yesterday\'s Flat Earth: the attempt to find meaning in a world stripped of wonder. Dickey visits the wacky sites of America\'s wildest fringe beliefs--from the famed Mount Shasta where the ancient race (or extra-terrestrials, or possibly both, depending on who you ask) called Lemurians are said to roam, to the museum containing the last remaining evidence of the great Kentucky Meat Shower--investigating how these theories come about, why they take hold, and why as Americans we keep inventing and re-inventing them decade after decade. The Unidentified is Colin Dickey at his best: curious, wry, brilliant in his analysis, yet eminently readable. About author(s): Colin Dickey is a writer, speaker, and academic, and has made a career out of collecting unusual objects and hidden histories all over the country. He\'s the author of multiple books, including Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places, and is a regular contributor to the LA Review of Books and Lapham\'s Quarterly , and is the co-editor of The Morbid Anatomy Anthology . With a PhD in comparative literature from the University of Southern California, he is a professor at National University.
