A PASSION FOR CRYPTOZOOLOGY Does a dinosaur exist in the Congo? Does a Yeti-like creature live in the jungles of Sumatra? Does a fearsome Death Worm inhabit the deserts of Mongolia? Explorer Adam Davies has traveled some of the most dangerous places in the world in search of these and other supposedly mythical beasts. In this fascinating account of his adventures, you'll read how he was shot at in the Congo, arrested and interrogated by the Mongolian Army in the Gobi Desert, filmed Norway's Nessie as it charged across a lake, and made world news when leading scientists backed his claims that a "jungle Yeti" exists! When not on expedition, Davies is a mildmannered Civil Servant living in Manchester in the United Kingdom. He spends most of his spare time and all of his money searching for mysterious creatures. Both his quests and successes have made headlines around the world. FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY: Foul language, excessive drinking, sexual situations, and encounters with some creatures of the natural world that would scare young children and more than a few adults as well.

In this book, World Explorer Adam Davies recounts his adventures on the quest for the mysterious Yeti in Nepal, and its' North American cousin, Bigfoot.His adventures take us from an abandoned Alaskan town, where the population literally fled a savage creature called "The Hairy Man" to the very top of the Himalayan mountains. The adventures are both intense and fascinating, as you journey with Adam into a the wilderness which not only has its dangers, but also has some fascinating characters within it, ready to engage with Adam in his discoveries.They include some profoundly shocking events, which were to have life changing impacts for the author..."I am a field researcher and a world explorer. I am not a scientist. Yet my objectives are very clear. I like to produce evidence, which can be independently tested and corroborated by scientists who are experts in their specific fields. As such, I have been fortunate to work with academics that have been gracious enough to do this analysis for me. In the past, it has led to some interesting results, most notably with hair and print analysis from the Sumatran bipedal primate the Orang-Pendek, and of course the Seljord Serpent in Norway, experiences which I have detailed in my previous books. However most of the time, nothing turns up. The maxim "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof" will always hold true in this field." Adam Davies

During the long twentieth century, explorers went in unprecedented numbers to the hottest, coldest, and highest points on the globe. Taking us from the Himalaya to Antarctica and beyond, Higher and Colder presents the first history of extreme physiology, the study of the human body at its physical limits. Each chapter explores a seminal question in the history of science, while also showing how the apparently exotic locations and experiments contributed to broader political and social shifts in twentieth-century scientific thinking. Unlike most books on modern biomedicine, Higher and Colder focuses on fieldwork, expeditions, and exploration, and in doing so provides a welcome alternative to laboratory-dominated accounts of the history of modern life sciences. Though centered on male-dominated practices—science and exploration—it recovers the stories of women’s contributions that were sometimes accidentally, and sometimes deliberately, erased. Engaging and provocative, this book is a history of the scientists and physiologists who face challenges that are physically demanding, frequently dangerous, and sometimes fatal, in the interest of advancing modern science and pushing the boundaries of human ability.

Port Chatham, Alaska was once a busy fishing village. By 1950, every single resident had left the town, leaving it abandoned. Over the years, legends told that the residents fled because they were being terrorized by a Bigfoot-like creature the local Natives called Nantiinaq. Stories of mutilated bodies, missing hunters and strange, otherworldly creatures have long been associated with Port Chatham. Retired police investigator, Larry Baxter, delves into the real-life mystery of Port Chatham and chronicles his research for the truth into one of Alaska's most infamous legends.
