Mysterious Lands covers two kinds of encounters. First, encounters which actually occurred between Egypt and specific foreign lands, and second, those the Egyptians created by inventing imaginary lands. Some of the actual foreign lands are mysterious, in that we know of them only through Egyptian sources, both written and pictorial, and the actual locations of such lands remain unknown. These encounters led to reciprocal influences of varying intensity. The Egyptians also created imaginary lands (pseudo-geographic entities with distinctive inhabitants and cultures) in order to meet religious, intellectual and emotional needs. Scholars disagree, sometimes vehemently, about the locations and cultures of some important but geographically disputed actual lands. As for imaginary lands, they continually need to be re-explored as our understanding of Egyptian religion and literature deepens. Mysterious Lands provides a clear account of this subject and will be a stimulating read for scholars, students or the interested public.

Cryptozoology is best understood as the study of animals which, in the eyes of Western science, are extinct, unclassified or unrecognised. In consequence, and in part because of its selective methods and lack of epistemological rigour, cryptozoology is often dismissed as a pseudo-science. However, there is a growing recognition that social science can benefit from engaging with it, for as as social scientists are very well aware, ’scientific’ categorisation and explanation represents just one of a myriad of systems used by humans to enable them to classify and make sense of the world around them. In many cultural contexts, myth, folk classification and lived experience challenge the ’truth’ expounded by scientists. With a reflexive, anthropological approach and drawing on rich empirical and ethnographic studies from around the world, this volume engages with the theoretical and methodological issues raised by reported sightings of unrecognised animals. Bringing into sharp focus the anthropological value and challenges for methodology posed by beliefs about unclassified creatures, Anthropology and Cryptozoology: Exploring encounters with mysterious creatures will be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists and geographers working in the fields of research methods, anthrozoology, mythology and folklore and human-animal interaction.

The shyest people always seem to be the freakiest people that have that secret and mysterious side of life that no one would ever suspect, or imagine. Paul is that person, a thirty-five-year-old, bi-sexual, very successful and reserved, Software Quality Assurance Engineer for the last eleven years. Paul was recently put on a ninety-day work performance probation for his surprising drop in his quality of work, as well as a change in his work ethic. Paul had been losing sleep lately due to him experiencing very disturbing, vivid dreams for the past few weeks that had contributed to his disappointing work performance. Not being the one to sleep around, Paul might shock himself in that area after attending a recent invitation by James, his protective childhood best friend who is a heterosexual playboy. Paul never imagined that a night of wild spontaneous sex would change his life for a long time to come when it came to his own confidence. What will become of Paul’s dreams and why did they start in the first place? Where will they lead? Will Paul become the wild child that no one ever expected as new people enter the picture? When a successful blast from the past re-enters his life, Paul has no clue what lies ahead for him, but he is hoping for the best. The question is, is Paul ready for it? Will things be as they seem, or is there something more sinister in the making? Will James have to step in one more time on Paul’s behalf? This erotic thriller will keep you wanting more all the way until the last page.
