    Paperback. Zustand: Good. Is Bigfoot real? Award-winning journalist Laura Krantz sets out to investigate one of the world's most enduring mysteries using the tools of science, critical thinking, and investigative reporting.Inspired by Krant's acclaimed Wild Thing podcast, her fascinating nonfiction adventure takes readers deep into the debate surrounding Sasquatch and the evidence behind the legend.When Krantz learned that her distant cousin, anthropologist Grover Krantz, had devoted much of his career to studying Bigfoot, she was skeptical. But curiosity led her into forests, scientific research, eyewitness accounts, and decades of cryptid lore in search of answers. Along the way, readers discover how scientists test ideas, evaluate evidence, and separate facts from assumptions.Perfect for curious readers ages 8-12, The Search for Sasquatch blends science, anthropology, folklore, evolution, and adventure into an engaging real-world investigation. As readers examine footprints, sightings, DNA evidence, and competing theories, they're encouraged to think critically, keep an open mind, and draw their own conclusions.Filled with colorful illustrations, fascinating research, and surprising discoveries, this compelling exploration of one of North America's most famous legends reveals not only what we know about Bigfoot, but also how science works and why mysteries continue to capture our imagination. Whether Sasquatch exists or not, the journey is unforgettable.…

    Hardback. Zustand: Good. Inspired by her popular Wild Thing podcast, journalist Laura Krantz incorporates the scientific method and her journalistic skills to determine if Bigfoot is realWhen journalist Laura Krantz discovered that her long-lost cousin, Grover Krantz, a distinguished anthropologist and professor at Washington State University, had devoted much of his career to the search for Bigfoot, she couldn't quite believe it. A natural skeptic and a strong believer in facts, Krantz decided to conduct her own quest for the most famous and elusive mythical creature. The Search for Sasquatch takes readers through the big guy's fun, fascinating, and complex world, posing the question: Could Bigfoot be out there? Exploring the gray area between myth and science, Krantz takes readers on a strange, surreal, and surprising hunt for the fabled Sasquatch--showing us how to challenge our gut assumptions and open our minds to new possibilities, to think critically, and to use the scientific method along the way. The Search for Sasquatch asks readers to evaluate the evidence it presents and make up their own minds, all the while considering why Bigfoot might be important--even if we don't find him.…

Or of poor, unfortunate souls asking potion masters to brew up unappetizing concoctions that will help them find love.And of course, we?re familiar with curses?muttering magical words for the purposes of exacting revenge on an enemy, or protecting a hidden treasure.Who wouldn?t like the idea of special powers, or control over the natural world? It seems pretty fun, even if it?s just the stuff of fantasy books and movies. But a lot of what we call ?magic? has grounding in real practices.
