A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Provides observational techniques for uncovering nature's clues hiding in plain sight
Includes maps, scientific figures, and illustrations
NOT A SPORTSMAN'S HUNTING GUIDE, as Sasquatch's value to science is potentially ground-breaking

Bestselling writer and naturalist David George Gordon delves into the remarkable history of one of the most iconic creatures of the Pacific Northwest: Sasquatch. This new field guide introduces readers to the Sasquatch--also popularly known as Bigfoot--in nature, in myth, and in modern culture. Gordon explores folklore, testimonies and evidence, and modern day encounters. He pieces together the species' physical features, behavior, and habitat, and suggests a "critical thinking" approach to the facts surrounding Sasquatch.

Whether or not you are the one to discover Sasquatch, The Sasquatch Seeker's Field Manual, will help you become a better observer of nature, more knowledgeable data-gatherer, and skilled in basic tracking and wilderness navigation. Becoming a proficient citizen-scientist is a step toward bringing this creature into the spotlight of the scientific community. And along the way The Sasquatch Seeker's Field Manual will give you a deeper appreciation for the impact it has had on our daily life, ranging from Sasquatch garden pavers to frozen Yeti Yogurt.
