#BookReview for "Abominable Science!: Origins of the Yeti, Nessie, and Other Famous Cryptids"
Recommended for anyone who still believes in cryptids.
Much like religions, once you dig into the history of how these myths evolved, it's hard to take them seriously. Especially with a review of admitted hoaxes and misidentifications. I do feel the authors downplay the harm such beliefs cause though.
