Orin McMonigle's series of insect-rearing guidebooks for beginning and advanced entomological enthusiasts has a new addition focusing on raising butterflies and moths through all their stages. Orin provides advice and examples from a diverse selection of species (North American natives as well as some select non-natives). We've all enjoyed professional butterfly houses, and now we can bring some of that excitement straight into our living rooms as we care for caterpillars as they grow, pupate, and emerge with fresh wings.

More than 10 years and over 600 posted articles later, world-renowned cryptozoologist Dr Karl Shuker's long-running, perpetually popular internet blog ShukerNature makes its long-awaited debut in hard-copy form via the publication of this first book in what is planned to be a regular series that not only collects together but also presents in updated, expanded form whenever possible many of his most significant and unusual online articles.

So, please come in, the good doctor has been expecting you . . .

The rise of Sasquatch within the North American cultural landscape was neither recent nor simple. The mythical monster immediately captured the attention of the American public as newspapers explored the stories permeating the Pacific Northwest, instigating the folkloric advent of the Bigfoot Hunter as adventurous seeker of proof of the creature's existence in a vast wilderness. The simple narrative shattered as the 1970s arrived, and Bigfoot-like creatures began to be reported throughout the country. Discussion and debate emerged surrounding the evidence required (would a body be necessary?), the quality and validity of sighting accounts, and most importantly, what kind of phenomena were researchers investigating? Was Bigfoot an offshoot of humanity, a relict ape from the past, an extraterrestrial visitor, an otherworldly entity, or just the imaginary confluence of excitement and wishful thinking? The 1970s became the Golden Age of Bigfoot Research, as organizations rose and fell, personalities clashed, and amateurs and professionals alike gathered to share their work towards a common goal. The public lapped it up, as Sasquatch became permanently entrenched in popular media: movies, television, and print. Author Dan Green has meticulously traced the diverging paths that weave and cross throughout the 1970s, in a way that will fascinate and enthrall today's Bigfoot enthusiast. What we see in cryptozoology today was laid down decades ago on a cultural platform that molded everything that followed.For more cryptozoology titles, visit CoachwhipBooks.com.
