Product Description

Review

"...useful as a companion piece to an archivist or to a class studying cultural anthropology..." -- Science Books & Films, July/August, 2001 --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From the Inside Flap

Here in one fascinating volume are the best of the many intriguing mysteries recounted in the popular, long-running television series "Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World" and "Arthur C. Clarke's World of Strange Powers." Those who enjoy a good detective story and whose imaginations are fired by the unexplained will revel in these accounts of real-life conundrums that continue to baffle science.

What two-legged beast could have produced the unusual footprints photographed in the Himalayas in 1978? What are the origin and purpose of the mysterious crystal skulls? Do our vast oceans contain gigantic, hitherto unknown sea creatures which occasionally surface and terrorize ships? Is spontaneous human combustion possible? These are just a few of the tantalizing enigmas that continue to elude scientific investigation.

John Fairley and Simon Welfare, producers of the hit series, lead the reader on a thoroughly interesting investigation into all these incredible phenomena and more. To each case, Sir Arthur C. Clarke offers his own analysis, full of the wit and intelligence that are his trademark. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
