Rating: 5
Summary: Arment publishes a truly classic cryptozoological tome.
Comment: Rarely has there been a more critical yet constructive look at cryptozoology, its definition, methodology and direction. Chad Arment has written a most intelligent and noteworthy tome which honestly faces some of the dilemmas that plague cryptozoology and finds means to honestly correct and address them. Comprising two parts, science and speculation, the first part is immensely enlightening.
This book contains sections on building scientific and logical foundations for investigative methodologies, underlays this foundation with an ethnozoological starting point and then discusses the rationale, methodology, feasibility and credibility of cryptozoology.
It is remarkably scientific and yet at the same time eminently readable. Arment's logical and intelligent viewpoints are intellectually stimulating.
The second party focuses on speculation, but what speculation this is. He reviews the prospects for animals as diverse as Long-tailed bobcats, the Pennsylvania "gorilla" and the West Virginia Roc.
Also included is Ivan T. Sanderson's treatise on Suggestions for the Obtaining of Larger Zoological Specimens for Scientific Study.
I thoroughly recommend Cryptozoology: Science & Speculation as an indispensible part of every cryptozoological and orthodox zoological enthusiast's library and as a most valuable reference source.
The writer of this review is the President and Editor of the British Columbia Scientific Crytozoology Club and its Quarterly.
Rating: 5
Summary: Thorough with surprise sidetrips
Comment: Chad Arment's work is a worthy addition to the growing cryptozoological library. He looks at methodology, with a skeptical and openminded eye, and then devotes the last half of the book in sharing his discoveries of old archival material on a variety of lesser known cryptids and related questions.
Recommended, especially for the cryptozoological intellectual.
