Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - Punny Name: Many of the chroniclers have them, such as Dr. Drake from Dragonology, Emily Sands from Egyptology, and Lady Hestia in Mythology. In 1898 famed Dragonologist, Dr.Ernest Drake set forth on his yacht, The Hydra for a year-long voyage around the world to start a new science, he deemed it "Monsterology". He also started a new society. He called it the Societas Monstrorum. The book describes how a four-legged dragon with wings could evolve via Darwin's theory of genetic mutation. This is inaccurate on two levels. One, there is no known way for a tetrapod to evolve an extra pair of limbs, and two, Darwin never discovered genetic mutation.
Fur Against Fang: Vampires have killed werewolves in the past, prompting the lycanthropes to become vampire-hunters in retaliation. Dr Drake has also published a mini-volume on the same subject called "Working With Monsters : A Course In Monsterology"
About Dugald Steer
We discover recommendations for the best books to read in all sorts of places, whether it’s our bookworm friends, a Saturday morning spent browsing our favourite bookshop, the Richard & Judy Book Club, a new book-to-screen adaptation, or BookTok! The authors we find, the books we fall in love with and even the genres that we immerse ourselves in all have an impact and accompany us through life. And I Must Scream: The witch Vivienne trapped Merlin’s spirit in an oak tree while he was asleep. He stayed like this for years until he managed the get the tree cut down and made into the Wizardology book. It’s implied he’s still in it as you’re reading it.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Without knowing the full legend, John Oro of Mythology wished for the Midas touch. He naturally does not survive the effects of the curse. Treasure Map: Lubber finds one to Arabella Drummond's treasure in the beginning of Pirateology, but with a vital piece missing, it's basically useless. The piece Lubber recovers before his death from the marooned member of Drummond's crew is stored in the hidden cache of the journal's last envelope, and the coded message reveals the treasure to be hidden in the northwest corner of the Krakatoa Island which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1883. Taken for Granite: The man borrowing Lady Hestia’s book in Mythology should have looked over the Midas myth a bit more carefully before making that wish... The Greys: One of the most prominent races in Alienology. Their entire homeworld has been converted to city, they are capable of speech but prefer telepathy, and they eat only nutritional powder mixed with water. Anachronism Stew: Played with in Dinosaurology; the dinosaurs themselves should probably not be coexisting the way they do. However, the book makes sure to avoid having any of the explorers show knowledge of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals that were not recognized by science before the year the book takes place, although the explorers were able to identify Velociraptor and " Anatotitan" (now Edmontosaurus) despite them not being recognized by science at that time. Strangely, Deinonychus was (properly) described as a creature the likes of which had never been seen before, despite being nearly identical to Velociraptor.
Tropes in the series include:
A True Story in My Universe: Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World is implied to be loosely inspired by Percy Fawcett's expedition to Yannapalu and discovery of living dinosaurs. Played straight in Oceanology, where the events of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea are based on the actual voyage of the Nautilus, relayed to Jules Verne by the Sole Survivor Zoticus de Lesseps. Feathered Serpent: The Mexican Amphithere in Dragonology. It's thought to be the basis for the deity Quetzalcoatl of Aztec Mythology. Curse: A priest of Isis warns Emily Sands and her team that the tomb of Osiris is cursed. They don't listen, and that's the last we hear of them. Toothy Bird: The phoenix. Justified because it's not a bird at all, but a dragon (although it's a toothless bird in Monsterology). Kit, Borys (June 13, 2008). "Universal acquires 'Dragonology' rights". The Hollywood Reporter.
