Описание:

For over thirty years, two New York State brothers, Robert and Paul Bartholomew, have methodically researched, documented, and studied the Bigfoot question in both New York and the New England states. Does a hulking 7-foot-tall humanlike creature, unrecognized by science, roam the green, fertile valleys and lush forests of New York and New England? Common sense tells us this is hardly possible -- especially in the 21st Century. Nevertheless, we have a conundrum: how do we explain the hundreds of credible eyewitness accounts of such a creature that date back to native Indian lore and early European settlement? Commonly known as "Bigfoot" in the United States, and "Sasquatch" in Canada, this creature has become the greatest mystery in North America. For over thirty years, two New York State brothers, Robert and Paul Bartholomew, have methodically researched, documented, and studied the Bigfoot question in both New York and the New England states. They have traveled extensively in these regions in a passionate quest to discover the truth behind the mystery. In this volume, Robert and Paul present the full history of the creature in New York and New England together with their analysis and conclusions. DOES BIGFOOT EXIST? The evidence presented here provides astounding new insights into this age-old question.

Описание: This eclectic history of unusual crowd behavior describes a rich assortment of mass phenomena ranging from the amusing and quirky to the shocking and deplorable. What do fads, crazes, manias, urban legends, moral panics, riots, stampedes, and other mass expressions of emotion have in common? By creating a typology of such behavior, past and present, the authors show how common extraordinary group reactions to fear or excitement are. And they offer insights into how these sometimes dangerous mob responses can be avoided.

We may not be surprised to read about the peculiarities of the European Middle Ages, when superstition was commonplace: like the meowing nuns of France, "tarantism" (a dancing mania) in Italy, or the malicious anti-Semitic poison-well scares. But similar phenomena show up in our own era. Examples include the social-networking hysteria of 2012, which resulted in uncontrollable twitching by teenage girls in Leroy, NY; the "phantom bus terrorist" of 2004 in Vancouver, Canada; and the itching outbreak of 2000 in South Africa.

Vivid, detailed, and thoroughly researched, this is a fascinating overview of collective human behavior in its many unusual forms.
