For years, scientists and researchers have studied, speculated about, and searched for an enigmatic creature that is legendary in the annals of American folklore. Now, learn the truth about... BIGFOOT! In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery -- could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins! From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.
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.

Scottish zoologist IVAN TERRANCE SANDERSON (1911-1973) coined the
word cryptozoology and first used it in print in this hard-to-find
1961 work, the story of "hairy hominids" across the planet from the
very beginnings of human civilization until the mid 20th century.
With its scientific, anthropological approach, this is one of the
first books to treat the phenomenon of "Bigfoot" seriously, and
introduced a groundbreaking classification system for the spectrum
of subhumanoids. "I am happy that a whole new generation of
cryptozoologists-in-training will be able to read Ivan T.
Sanderson's classic book," says cryptozoologist Loren Coleman in
his new introduction. "This book opened the minds of many to the
vastness of the hominoid reports... and spotlighted for people that
Bigfoot/Sasquatch research was the next area for exploration in
North America." This new edition, complete with the original
illustrations and maps, is part of Cosimo's Loren Coleman Presents
series. LOREN COLEMAN is author of numerous books of cryptozoology,
including Bigfoot!: The True Story of Apes in America and Mothman
and Other Curious Encounters.
