From the dawn of civilization scorpions have captured the human
imagination. Yet the scorpion is a misunderstood animal with a bad
reputation that overshadows its many exceptional qualities. Older
than dinosaurs, these small arthropods have survived for hundreds
of millions of years with very few changes to their form,
populating every continent - with the exception of Antarctica.
Although humans and scorpions have coexisted for thousands of
years, the image of the scorpion retains a sense of danger and
mystery. This book explores the diverse cultural symbolism of
scorpions, from prehistoric times until today.
