More Information
From the serpentine "Champie" of Lake Champlain to the venerable "Nessie" of Loch Ness, extraordinary -- and unexplained -- creatures of the deep have been reported in sightings throughout the 20th century. Now, two of the world's leading cryptozoological investigators provide a globe-trotting field guide to when, where, and what kind of mysterious aquatic beasts have gripped the public--and sometimes the scientific--imagination. Filled with comprehensive drawings, classifications, and maps, their book offers an invaluable and unusual resource for the intrepidly curious to investigate these sightings firsthand or to simply enjoy the fascinating accounts that others have given.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
"I suggest that before you conclude that lake monsters and sea serpents are all nonsense, you examine the information in this superb compilation...The scope of the work is monumental."
--Roy P. Mackal, Ph.D., D.Sc.; Leader of expeditions of Loch Ness and the Congo; Professor of Biochemistry, University of Chicago, Ret.
