Book Description
Curious Little Bigfoot: A modern tale about Bigfoot, A legendary animal of the Redwood Wilderness By: Mina Sloan Hassman In 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin purportedly captured footage of bigfoot in the redwood forests of northern California, and a phenomenon was born that continues to capture the imagination of new generations. Elementary school is a time of evolving reading habits and unbridled curiosity. As they grow and learn, students who have mastered primary-grade picture books look to transition to more sophisticated reading materials that describe the world around them while still appealing to their creativity. Immersive experiences at this age can nurture a lifelong love of learning and a compassion for others. Conceived as a first chapter book for young readers, Curious Little Bigfoot tackles topics like family, nature, and discovery through a fantastical story rooted in a vibrant, real-world setting. Tommy and Little-Big are mirror images of each other, both yearning to explore beyond their usual day-to-day experiences. Like the young readers themselves, the characters are trying to pursue their dreams while navigating family relationships, community needs, and unknown dangers. Author Mina Hassman channels her experiences as an elementary school teacher, reading specialist, and Northern California resident into a story that appeals to young readers without talking down to them. In following the characters’ adventures over just a few days in the woods, readers learn about the flora and fauna of the redwood forests, and the techniques and craftsmanship that come in handy when living in the forest — all through a unique and sympathetic take on the stories of bigfoot. The accompanying study guides promote discussions about vocabulary and literary concepts to further the book’s educational reach.

Book Description
What if earths history as we know it is only a fragment of the actual truth? What if it started thousands of years before we ever thought? Could it be possible that an advanced society and civilization thrived here on earth, but due to a worldwide flood, their existence was nearly wiped away from history? With melting glaciers at the end of the last ice age then combined with a comet colliding with the earth, it caused global rainstorms and increased volcanic activity resulting in the rapid melting of earths ice. It quickly flooded earths entire surface. After over a month of flooding, only a small fragment of earths inhabitants survived. Many civilizations and creatures were totally wiped away. Many great cities were buried or sent to the bottom of seas. Animals and humans had to start over with repopulating the earth. Over time, some evidence of this time has been found. Some of these items found are more advanced then we are today. Some items are even questionable if they are even from earth. Only a few left today really know the truth about our planet. An alien race came to earth to escape their dying world. They tried taking over and ruling our world and all its inhabitants. After many hundreds of years, a civil war broke out among them with the human race getting caught in the middle. After a last-attempt battle to end the war, both sides were sent into hiding and waiting. Now in todays world, the aliens are once again planning their takeover of our world with their extinction agenda. They have already started influencing our society. A small group of individuals have been tragically brought together after their ancestors were eliminated by the aliens because they were being seen as threats. Now this small group is the only one in the aliens way of global domination.

Bigfoot Exposed
Author: David J. Daegling
Publisher: Rowman Altamira
ISBN: 0759115230
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The myth of Bigfoot has captured the popular imagination since the creature's first public debut in 1958—numerous citations of 'evidence,' newspaper articles, books, hysterical personal accounts, and even Hollywood movies illustrate the American public's enduring romance with the Sasquatch. The scientific community on the whole, however, has stubbornly refused to comment on what it views as a very tall tale, though Bigfoot's existence continues to be hotly argued between proponents of the beast and its skeptics. Now, biological anthropologist and primate physiology specialist David J. Daegling enters the fray to offer both sides of the dispute benefit of objective scientific study. A well-crafted read, Bigfoot Exposed will prove to be as much a model of scientific method for anthropologists and researchers as it is an engaging and persuasive debunking of the myth of Bigfoot.

This book tells the story of my own investigations in my home state of Minnesota. Every report that I am personally aware of at this time for Minnesota and the Dakotas is included here. Many are of a more-or-less conventional nature (man sees sasquatch, sasquatch runs away) while others are downright bizarre, but all are true to the best of my knowledge, and I believe they prove the existence of the beast I saw along that forest highway all those years ago.
