A Mythical Science and Humanities Journey for Teens
Description
Book Introduction
Exciting science and warm humanities contained in a drama that depicts life.

'Myths', which are called the most fascinating stories from ancient times to the present, are the culmination of human narratives that we encounter from childhood and reread even as we grow up.
Myths, which serve as the source of various dramas and contain the traces of human history, can be studied in the humanities simply by learning about them.
What if this fascinating myth, a blend of human imagination and fiction, were infused with science, steeped in experimentation and proof? Mythology and science, seemingly disparate at first glance, draw a fascinating common denominator when they intersect with the keyword "humanity."


"A Journey Through Science and Humanities in Drama for Teens" is a book that shows teenagers the allure of "myth," the most powerful form of storytelling, and explores the exciting science contained within it.
The myths that felt like short stories from a collection of stories I read as a child show us that they were stories of nature and life filled with the desires and wishes of ancient humans, and they remind us that they were quite scientific stories that convinced humans through their imagination of natural phenomena that they could not understand.
Although it is a myth that deals with the story of gods, if you look closely at its contents, it is full of excitement towards human life.
Science is the discipline of technology and exploration that turns such human desires into reality.
That's why the meeting of these two topics is quite interesting and provides excellent learning in terms of convergent knowledge.
Through this book, teenagers will be able to enjoy not only the stories and lessons of myths and science that are known to them, but also new intellectual curiosity and fun.
This is a fun science humanities book that introduces scientific concepts and knowledge related to interesting myths.

Publisher's Review
“Now it’s time to meet gods and heroes and learn science!”

*What is the gods' favorite material for creating the world?
*Is New Zealand really a land pulled from the sea?
*Why are heroes born from eggs?
*Chimeras are not only in mythology, but also in reality?
*Can science create the abilities of superhuman heroes and terrifying monsters?

Now let's have fun talking about science by looking at myths!!


I will not criticize the myths I will discuss below as being unscientific.
Rather, I would like to examine the lives and thoughts of ancient people who tried to understand natural phenomena through myths.
If we examine how science has understood and proven these natural phenomena, we will enjoy the influence of human civilization and the journey of knowledge accumulated by the human brain.
So, shall we now embark on a scientific journey into the world of mythology?
From the Introduction

Mythology, the crystallization of humanities that has reigned as the most powerful storytelling from ancient times to the present,
Cutting-edge science meets to make the impossible possible!
A fascinating tale of science and humanities unfolding in the world of the gods!


When we talk about mythology, we often think of the short stories in the thin books we read as children.
From Greek and Roman mythology, which beautifully embroidered the constellations of the night sky while roaming Olympus, to the fascinating and colorful charm of Eastern mythology.
The wonderful and splendid powers and dramatic stories of the gods sometimes feel unrealistic and absurd.
As we grow up, we naturally come to regard myths as fictional stories unrelated to reality.
But what if we told you that this absurd myth actually has a very deep connection to human life, and even has a rather scientific edge?

This book is a science humanities book that examines various Eastern and Western mythological stories and explores the human desires and scientific knowledge contained within them.
Myths are products of imagination created by ancient people who had little scientific knowledge in order to understand natural phenomena and the principles of all things in the world.
That is why myths contain the passionate human desire and hope for life and the natural science of the time.
From this perspective, myths no longer seem like absurd stories, but rather a vivid humanities that embody the hopes of humans who struggled to survive in the vastness of nature.
The journey of revisiting ancient stories created in a time when science was unknown, using today's scientific knowledge, provides us with the fun of learning about science in a new way.
Science is more impressive when viewed through the story of myth than when learned only through fragmentary scientific knowledge.
Through this book, teenagers will learn a new perspective on scientific interpretation of the fascinating content of mythology.
Furthermore, you will experience a delightful intellectual journey exploring the humanities and science together.


A hero born from an egg, a chimera with a different head and body,
Are all the ridiculous myths true?
Experience the true fun of convergence science by watching the science behind exciting myths!

Why are heroes always born from eggs? Were the outrageous mythical monsters with distinct heads and torsos actually real? Are the mysterious powers of the gods even possible? Mythology frequently features bizarre gods and monsters.
It may seem like a myth, but it's impossible in reality. However, cutting-edge science says it's not impossible.
People born from eggs, chimeras with different heads and bodies, all exist in reality, and even the abilities of heroes that were once thought impossible can all be realized in reality.


This book tells the story of the powers of mythical superhumans and outrageous monsters, and the cutting-edge science and technology that makes the impossible possible.
As we explore the science that realizes the seemingly absurd abilities of myth, we are amazed and fascinated by today's advanced science and technology that makes ideals a reality.
Through this book, teenagers who will lead the future will realize how wild imagination and cutting-edge science go together well.
Through this, you will be able to enjoy the true fun of learning about convergence science while watching the exciting science of myths.
