Book Reviews of Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science

Book Review: The Scientific Last Word...
Summary: 5 Stars

...until the hairy guy is confirmed, that is.

If you have no "bigfoot books," and want to expand the angle of your regard somewhat, I would start with this one. Toss in Alley's "Raincoast Sasquatch" for incredible depth on a very specific geographic area. Add Gordon's "Field Guide to the Sasquatch" because, heck, this should be in field guides, and here's one. To top it all off, Pyle's "Where Bigfoot Walks" for a very literary angle by a technically-qualified commentator.

If you want to go on from there, and you should, excellent. But start here. Meldrum handles every aspect of the evidence with impressive breadth and depth; you see that big footprints are far from all there is. (And you see why some think the footprints are enough, all by themselves.) This is a scientist looking at it with a scientist's eye, and exposing "bigfoot skeptics" for what they are. (Which, for one thing, is far from skeptical. They're true believers, in what they want to believe.)

This took guts to write; that it got published, and that he's still tenured at his university, offers hope to those of us who would like to see science get off its duff and, you know, explore the world a bit. A microscope is nice, but carry binoculars and curiosity about what you don't know, too.

Summary of Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science

In this landmark work on a subject too often dismissed as paranormal or disreputable, Jeffrey Meldrum gives us the first book on Sasquatch to be written by a scientist with impeccable academic credentials. He gives an objective look at the facts in a field mined with hoaxes and sensationalism. Meldrum reports on the work of a team of experts from a wide variety of fields who were assembled to examine the evidence for a large, yet undiscovered, North American primate. He reviews the long history of this mystery--which long predates the "Bigfoot" flap of the late fifties--and explains all the scientific pros and cons in a clear and accessible style, amplified by over 150 illustrations. Anyone who has pondered the mysteries of human evolution will be fascinated and eager to join Dr. Meldrum in drawing their own conclusion.
