Summary:"Ubiquitous and enduring, myths remain an inherent part of culture. These 10 essays explore the role of myth in the modern world, delving not only into science fiction and fantasy, but also into sport, terrorist rhetoric and television. The power of myth extends beyond ancient stories to express the hopes, fears and reality of everyday life"--
