Lost World Adventures in Savage Lands of Science Fiction and Fantasy
The Lost World genre arose during that era when Archaeological expeditions were big news, discovering amazing remnants of lost civilizations around the world like the tombs of Egypt's Valley of the Kings, the stronghold of Troy, jungle-shrouded pyramids of the Maya, or the cities and palaces of the Assyrian Empire. Thus, real stories of archaeological finds by imperial adventurers succeeded in setting imaginations on fire. Between 1871 and the First World War, the number of lost-world adventures set on every continent became mainstream fiction literature.

Who is American Illustrator Howard David Johnson?
In one of David's invitations to the Florence Biennale Contemporary Art Exhibition, (a partner in the United Nations' Dialog among Nations), UN Secretary General Kofi Anon wrote him: "Artists have a special role to play in the global struggle for peace. At their best, artists speak not only to people; they speak for them. Art is a weapon against ignorance and hatred and an agent of public awareness... Art opens new doors for learning, understanding, and peace among nations."
