Locals (The) : A Contemporary Investigation of the Bigfoot/Sasquatch Phenomenon (9780888395528)

Bigfoots ARE The Locals. They live here. They were here before we humans showed up on the continent and they will likely outlast us. This is a bigfoot book yet it probes much deeper than a simple treatment of the hackneyed question of Does Bigfoot Exist? This book delves into such questions as why bigfoots exist, why they behave as they do, and why they have not yet been, and may never be dragged into the spotlight of science and the media. And don't look to science for answers, because science is currently unequipped to shed any light on this profound anthropological mystery. The author's personal experiences in investigation and experimentation of the bigfoot hypothesis are chronicled. Frightening and humorous personal experiences are detailed in the manner of the genre we know of as the bigfoot book. We have a lot to learn about The Locals and there is even more we could learn from The Locals. Product details ...

Timotheusbrief wird in diesem fundierten und flüssig geschriebenen Kommentar als spontan entstandenes Privatschreiben des Apostels an seinen Freund aufgefasst.
