Book Description
The book highlights researchers, scientists, and influencers currently performing impactful work on the study related to the subject of Bigfoot. Tim dives into their theories, experiences, and research with the influencers, giving readers a glimpse into their historical impact on the subject and their current projects. His inspiration to write the book began with a personal quest to better understand who is actively studying the Bigfoot Phenomenon and what motivates them to do so. He soon realized the enormous and strategic efforts being put forth by individuals and groups across North America. With this in mind, the book brings all these individuals together for the readers. Whether you are an enthusiast or a researcher, The Bigfoot Influencers shares fascinating experiences and facts about the influencers in North America and the impact they are having. The Bigfoot Influencers Volume 1 is the first in the series of books delving into this fascinating phenomenon. "I'm always struck by an eyewitness who will comment on the fact how amazingly rapidly this creature receded or climbed up a slope. There was one who said, 'it would have taken me forty-five minutes to get up to that ridge top. And this thing did it in ten'" - Dr. Jeff Meldrum "It's a Mystery that hardly no one gives evidence and no one studies it... for the most part. When sightings happen, most people clam up. When evidence is presented, the scientists clam up." - Doug Hajicek "The scientific method is about observation, that's where it begins. One begins with an observation and from that emerges some sort of hypothesis." - Daryl Colyer "I'm more confident now about the Patterson Gimlin Film than when I was a 10 or 11-year-old back in the late 60s. That confidence is based on data and analysis, not just first impressions." - Dr. Jeff Meldrum "The question of Bigfoot is a complicated one. All of science deals with reality, whether it's physics or chemistry, every science deals with it." - Dr. Esteban Sarmiento "These anecdotes Span the entire globe, involving hundreds of different cultures explaining the same phenomenon by different names, so at some point you have to, even as a scientist, say, 'Well, there's got to be something.'" - Les Stroud

Squatchland Ii
Author: David Hollis
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796013102
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
This book is the continuing story that began with the Mystery of the Iatt Lake Monster—Revealed!, subtitled Squatchland: The Dartigo Creek Valley Project, where I discovered a tribe of Bigfoots living across the street where I was renting a Cajun-style shotgun house with a rusty tin roof across from a well at the foot of a clean, clear swamp created by three crooked creeks. After a violent initial encounter, David made friends with Mo Cho Rook, the king of the Crooked Snake tribe. Then after moving to the other side of the parish, members of the tribe followed him and made camp across the road from his new habitation where he made friends with Nebehkakun, the local clan leader, who told David much about the tribe and the various local clans. Over one hundred Bigfoots moved to live in his yard, hence the title Squatchland II: Under the Sign of the Crooked Snake. David takes us deep into the forest to visit local clans and shows pictures of each creek valley with what looks to be tall upright walking creatures. David also shows 5 different types of Bigfoots and pictures of each.* Get yours in Gloss only from Xlibris.com.

What to do about Climate Change - A Libertarian Proposal
Author: Gene Balfour
Publisher: Eugene C Balfour
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Should governments have a role in managing Climate Change? Is there a better way? This book answers those questions. Climate Alarmists argue that greenhouse gas emissions pose such a serious threat to humanity that governments must aggressively tax and regulate to curtail every human activity they allege to increase that threat. Skeptics disagree. Scientific evidence doesn’t support the Alarmists’ theory with conclusive data. The man-made global warming concern began in 1992 in the sphere of politics. It's been sustained by politicians and tax-funded institutions globally and domestically. Ongoing fearmongering campaigns has kept the public anxious for a generation. Citizens tacitly submit to the ‘tax and spend’ policies that keep the Climate Change Government Complex (CCGC) growing and profitable. With the unlikely name The Bigfoot Show (’Bigfoot’ is the abbreviated term for the proposal), the author proposes a superior alternative to the CCGC that will reduce industrial CO2 emissions. It will also entertain and educate the public while satisfying Alarmists and Skeptics alike. No government participation will be allowed. Bigfoot is an innovation that, when adopted, will be the first step towards replacing government responsibility for Climate Change and, potentially, for other areas where public sector monopolies exist. Chapter One describes the core failures of the government's approach to Climate Change. Chapter Two lays out the proposal. Chapter Three provides a SWOT+ analysis to explain how the proposal is an evolutionary improvement over the CCGC. The next seven chapters offer a 360-degree look at the entire Climate Change topic -- a highly complex subject with many dimensions and stakeholders. Bigfoot is a practical solution that will get the desired results and do it in a cost-effective, transparent and accountable manner. Modern digital technology will play an important part. In recent years, the pandemic and other crises have pushed public anxiety to historic levels. While we enjoy unprecedented access to information, uncertainty about the future had never been worse especially with our youth. Conspiracy theories arise whenever people are confused by complex issues that affect their lives. The impulse to find satisfying answers drives many to the ‘authorities’. Twenty years ago, we outsourced manufacturing to nations like China, Mexico and India. Today we outsource our critical thinking to designated ‘gurus’ and ‘experts’. If you are interested in people and the choices they make, you will like this book. It raises questions regarding morality, mutual respect, personal responsibility and the freedom to act accordingly, fairness, the dynamics of human communities of both religious and secular natures, creativity, philosophy, leadership and the consequences when it’s lacking, the nature of fiat and digital money as mediums of exchange and stores of wealth. Political leaders can embrace Bigfoot for the public benefits that are achievable with or without their endorsement. Public trust and respect can be restored for political and government leaders. Threats to Canadian sovereignty by globalist entities can be thwarted. A new age of democracy renewal can begin with Bigfoot. Read about some of the most important characters in the Climate Change saga, its authoritarian nature, and its most influential Skeptics. Bigfoot offers hope to all Canadians. It signifies that a viable, democratic and peaceful path out of perhaps the darkest period in our history is finally here!

Devolution
Author: Max Brooks
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 1984826794
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z is back with “the Bigfoot thriller you didn’t know you needed in your life, and one of the greatest horror novels I’ve ever read” (Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter and Recursion). FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing—and too earth-shattering in its implications—to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it. Kate’s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity’s defiance in the face of a terrible predator’s gaze, and, inevitably, of savagery and death. Yet it is also far more than that. Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us—and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity. Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it—and like none you’ve ever read before. Praise for Devolution “Delightful . . . [A] tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The story is told in such a compelling manner that horror fans will want to believe and, perhaps, take the warning to heart.”—Booklist (starred review)

Creative Placemaking
Author: Cara Courage
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351598597
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
This book makes a significant contribution to the history of placemaking, presenting grassroots to top-down practices and socially engaged, situated artistic practices and artsled spatial inquiry that go beyond instrumentalising the arts for development. The book brings together a range of scholars to critique and deconstruct the notion of creative placemaking, presenting diverse case studies from researcher, practitioner, funder and policymaker perspectives from across the globe. It opens with the creators of the 2010 White Paper that named and defined creative placemaking, Ann Markusen and Anne Gadwa Nicodemus, who offer a cortically reflexive narrative on the founding of the sector and its development. This book looks at vernacular creativity in place, a topic continued through the book with its focus on the practitioner and community-placed projects. It closes with a consideration of aesthetics, metrics and, from the editors, a consideration of the next ten years for the sector. If creative placemaking is to contribute to places-in-the-making and encourage citizenled agency, new conceptual frameworks and practical methodologies are required. This book joins theorists and practitioners in dialogue, advocating for transdisciplinary, resilient processes.

Book Description
In this book, I will present a memoir of the continuation of a Minnesota Bigfoot researcher's 30-year journey since the publication of my last books, as well as my thoughts and observations on other aspects of the whole Bigfoot field. There is a chapter on the Minnesota Iceman case, which actually has only a tenuous connection to the state but which I felt it my responsibility to investigate, and also one on the famous California Patterson-Gimlin film which I am fascinated with and have delved into because of my deep interest in Bigfoot photos and films even though I am an outsider. I hope you, the reader, will both enjoy this account and be able to learn something.

Book Description
I have been a Bigfoot researcher in the state of Minnesota for over 30 years, dedicated to the pursuit of a giant hairy upright walking manlike or apelike creature that keeps being encountered by scores of people year after year but has even more people scoffing and insisting that it can not and does not exist. What a surprise it was near the end of 2019 to find that there was a place in Minnesota a three hours' drive from my home in the city of Moorhead (sister city to Fargo, North Dakota) where there was reported to be a consistent and perhaps even permanent Bigfoot presence within a few square miles of private property. Hands down, it quickly became the single most intense Bigfoot case I have ever investigated. This is the story of my first-hand experiences, interviews with witnesses, and subsequent research that would follow from these encounters.
