Bigfoot Exposed: An Anthropologist Examines America’s Enduring Legend: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Bigfoot Exposed: An Anthropologist Examines America’s Enduring Legend" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The myth of Bigfoot has captured the popular imagination since the creatures first public debut in 1958--numerous citations of evidence, newspaper articles, books, hysterical personal accounts, and even Hollywood movies illustrate the American publics enduring romance with the Sasquatch. The scientific community on the whole, however, has stubbornly refused to comment on what it views as a very tall tale, though Bigfoots existence continues to be hotly argued between proponents of the beast and its skeptics. Now, biological anthropologist and primate physiology specialist David J. Daegling enters the fray to offer both sides of the dispute benefit of objective scientific study. A well-crafted read, Bigfoot Exposed will prove to be as much a model of scientific method for anthropologists and researchers as it is an engaging and persuasive debunking of the myth of Bigfoot.
