The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates

Overview

"The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates is a comprehensive study of the astonishing variety of puzzling primates that are being reported by eyewitnesses around the world - but that science has failed to recognize. This fully illustrated volume not only contains the references, range maps, and typical footprints that appeared in the first edition, but it also contains a new, complete index and new preface that updates the discoveries made since this book was first published. ""The thousands of worldwide sightings of unclassified bipedal primates, including the Yeti, may be confusing because these sightings entail more than one species. This field guide attempts to sort out the different creatures, coming up with a classification of eight possible mystery primates. But this book makes no real attempt to persuade skeptics of the existence of any of them. It's sort of speculative taxonomy, but I think it is one of the most useful texts in the ongoing controversy over Bigfoot."" - Kevin Kelly, Whole Earth Review ""If only one of these creatures is verified by naturalists, it would be a biological sensation...The book is well-researched with a good bibliography."" - William Corliss, Science Frontiers ""This book looks like any other field guide you might pick up. It has drawings, maps, tracks, descriptions of the organisms, and the details of the most prominent sightings or evidence...Anyone interested in folk zoology - especially anyone interested in how legends and animal lore intersect with modern scientific research - would find this to be an intriguing volume...It is an extensive...catalog of all the variations on the 'mystery primate' theme organized geographically and annotated extensively."" - Andrew J. Petto, Reports of the National Center for Science Education"

The thousands of worldwide sightings of unclassified bipedal primates, including the Yeti, may be confusing because these sightings entail more than one species. This field guide attempts to sort out the different creatures, coming up with a classification of eight possible mystery primates. But this book makes no real attempt to persuade skeptics of the existence of any of them. It's sort of speculative taxonomy, but I think it is one of the most useful texts in the ongoing controversy over Bigfoot. - Kevin Kelly, Whole Earth Review If only one of these creatures is verified by naturalists, it would be a biological sensation...The book is well-researched with a good bibliography. - William Corliss, Science Frontiers ...a remarkable acheivement...It is a bold attempt to bring some order to a world-wide mystery, and will stand as a seminal work in years to come. - Bufo Calvin's Weird World ...an intellient, absorbing overview, taking material that is certainly controversial--and, to some downright outlandish--and making surprising sense of it. - Jerome Clark, Unexplained! A very useful resource book describing the many unknown primate-like animals scattered to the four corners of the globe. - Fortean Times ...this book gives excellent drawings based on eyewitness descriptions of a wide variety of hairy humanoids from all continents. - Magonia . . . a new kind of wildlife-viewing experience . . . the book addresses a gaping hole in the field of primatology. - Joe Bob Report
