A tremendous amount of books have been written on such topics as the legendary Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest and the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas. And some of those books have been very good, and others have not been so special at all! But, here's a new one that I most definitely recommend: Yetis, Sasquatch and Hairy Giants, which is the very latest book from prolific author and publisher, David Hatcher Childress of Adventures Unlimited Press.
Lair of the Beasts: Here Come the Hairy Giants

Childress' book is an excellent study of a phenomenon that – as the author skillfully demonstrates – is actually a very old one. I know from speaking to people – and particularly so when it comes to dealing with the media – that there is a tendency to conclude, or assume, that Bigfoot and its hairy ilk popped out of nowhere midway through the 20th Century, as nothing more than folklore, myth, legend and a lure to bring tourism to certain areas.

Unfortunately, the gentleman that admitted to being a part of a hoax (in the 80s or 90s?) ruined it all for me, and I since lost interest.
It was interesting reading this article to discover there is so much world-wide History involved; although, I knew of Russia and China. It just seems odd that after so much time has passed, that these creatures could be so elusive. Europe's 'men of the woods' was interesting to read about. Thanks for article, Syn. Cool site graphics.
