I have always been fascinated by cryptozoology and have read many books which either promote a belief in them or a belief completely against them. This book is refreshing as it discusses the history of many types of cryptids and the mythology behind them. The book is well researched and it is very interesting to note how the popularity of certain cryptids seem to change over time and how there seems to be a definite time when some cryptids seem to start to appear and others to disappear. Highly recommended for anyone interested in cryptozoology. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The Loch Ness Monster, bigfoot and the yeti have long held a fascination for people the world over. Debates about their actual existence or what they might really be have continued for decades, if not centuries. Known also as cryptids, they have spawned a body of research known as cryptozoology. This entertaining book looks at the evidence of these mysterious monsters and others and explores what they might really be (if they exist at all), why they have been represented as they have and the development of cryptozoology and how it has collected data to discover more about these unknown creatures.

A good book, albeit it could have used tighter editing; and if you're only going to read one book about why cryptozoology is a branch of anthropology rather than of zoology, I'd recommend Loxton and Prothero's Abominable Science! over this one. Despite the pulpier title, it's the more "serious" work, and lays forward the argument more effectively I think. It's considerably longer, mind, so this book may be preferable if you want a quick introduction.
