Description
From cattle mutilations and crop circles to Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle, and the Loch Ness Monster, this one-of-a-kind authoritative guide unlocks ancient mysteries, sifts facts from fiction, and occasionally reveals startling conclusions that challenge what we know -- or what we think we know. Each chapter poses a pivotal and provocative question raised by a specific controversial mystery, and then presents two sides of the debate. Each YES/NO section stands alone in its own right, but often directly gives an alternative explanation for specific claims in the opposing section. This dialectic approach means that apparently contradictory views can be resolved in an intriguing synthesis.
