INCREDIBLE LIFE: A Handbook of Biological Mysteries (Comp.)

Glen Arm MD: Source Book Project, 1981. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine / Good. Item #SHEL1562

1st printing. Cloth. 1,018pp. A few illustrations. Index. I am key-wording this as a Bigfoot / Sasquatch book even though specifically it is not. The compiler has gathered together hundreds and hundreds of articles, mostly short one of just one or a few paragraphs, of mysteries and in some cases anomalies in creatures all the way from humans to birds, mammals, reptiles, and even microorganisms. The first 202pp are on "Humans and Humanoids." The essays and articles he gathered were from both scientific journals and a few newspaper in the 19th and the 20th centuries. A few subject sample re humans and humanoids: "Excessively Hairy Humans," " Prehensile Properties of Human Feet," " Human Eyes That Shine at Night." "Electrical and Magnetic Humans." The reader should not expect this book to answer current questions, but it indicates that these strange things have been noted in the past and largely forgotten. Addressing folks in the sasquatch "community," I know you are curious able unusual creatures and anomalies, so if you are interested in this book it will dovetail into your sasquatch library but should not be considered a sasquatch book. Fine copy in good or better scarce dj; edge tears and creases to dj.
