От издателя
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.

Very good look at the cultural phenomenon that is Cryptozoology
I very much enjoyed Dr Naish's look at flesh-and-blood cryptids. The sea monsters chapter in particular had loads of stuff that was new to me. The only criticism, if it is one at all, is his identification of creationists at the enemy--I think their arguments are better ignored. Overall, this is a great book and I can't recommend it highly enough. More skepticism in the world is what we need.
