RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 191925609 LA English T1 Weird science and bizarre beliefs : mysterious creatures, lost worlds, and amazing inventions A1 Reece, Gregory L.,, PB I.B. Tauris PP London YR 2009 SN 9781845117566 1845117565 AB "The obsession that so many now have with the uncanny and the unnatural is in itself a mystery. It prompts serious questions which could have remarkable answers. Gregory L. Reece undertakes a quest for solutions. Braving the darkest recesses of cult belief, he stalks the twilight borderlands of contemporary culture, where, at the outer edges of mainstream thought, things become downright freaky and outlandish." "The author explores a subterranean cavern reputed to be the home of elusive blue-skinned troglodytes; goes hiking in the backwoods for a glimpse of Bigfoot; investigates the truth of alternative archaeology in search of Atlantis; and tests for himself the time-travel and anti-gravity theories of famed inventor Nikola Tesla."--Jacket.
