Description
As formidable creatures emerging from Time's Tomb on Mother Earth, metaphorical Kong and Godzilla are considered here in light of new millennial environmentalism's stark reality. This book, nostalgic in tone, explores the meaning of Kong and Godzilla as planetary saviors-titanic protectors of a theoretical "living Earth" Gaia-defending the globe from a prehistoric plague of adversaries.
