The ultimate quest for the world's most mysterious creatures The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman -- these are the names of the elusive beasts that have caught the eye and captured the imaginations of people around the world for centuries. Recently, tales of these "monsters" have been corroborated by an increase in sightings, and out of these legends a new science has been born: cryptozoology -- the study of hidden animals. "Cryptozoology A to Z, " the first encyclopedia of its kind, contains nearly two hundred entries, including cryptids (the name given to these unusual beasts), new animal finds, and the explorers and scientists who search for them. Loren Coleman, one of the world's leading cryptozoologists, teams up with Jerome Clark, editor and author of several encyclopedias, to provide these definitive descriptions and many never-before-published drawings and photographs from eyewitnesses' detailed accounts. Full of insights into the methods of these scientists, exciting tales of discovery, and the history and evolution of this field, "Cryptozoology A to Z" is the most complete reference ever of the newest zoological science.

Provides information on the facts, fiction, and folklore surrounding the North American Sasquatch known as Bigfoot.

A study of the "copycat phenomenon" describes how the media spreads such violent behavior as snipers, teen suicides, school shootings, child abductions, and other crimes, explaining how and why such tragedies occur in clusters and assessing the potential repercussions of bombarding the public with traumatic images.

Loren Coleman is the first and last name in cryptozoology. He's blazed the trail for so many of us. Massachusetts mysteries like the Dover Demon and the Bridgewater Triangle have names because Coleman discovered and named them. His years of research gathering the cryptid sightings, physical evidence, and details of these strange creatures and legends have paid off in a big way in Monsters of Massachusetts. --Jeff Belanger, author of Weird MassachusettsBizarre beasts of the Bay State featured in this volume include . . .

This true story of Texas millionaire Tom Slick's quest for the Abominable Snowman and other cryptids -- creatures unknown to science -- reveals a life made for the movies. Fascinating stories of Slick's early brushes with adventure such as his stepfather's abduction by George 'Machine Gun' Kelly in 1933 and his creation of a research facility near Loch Ness are followed by his later expeditions into Nepal and the Pacific Northwest in search of the yeti and its counterpart, the Sasquatch. The story of Slick's amazing, fanatic, and driven search for the stuff of legends takes readers on a whirlwind journey from the dense temperate rainforests of Washington State to the icy peaks of the Himalayas -- and shows that sometimes cryptids leave the halls of the imagination and are found and captured, as proved by the giant panda and the Komodo dragon, leaving readers to wonder what more there is to be discovered.
