The Yeti... Sasquatch... Bigfoot... Do They Exist?
Since 1832, hundreds of giant, shaggy humanoid creatures have been sighted around the world-from the northwest United States and Canada to the upper reaches of the Himalayas. Legends about them abound; their footprints have been discovered and preserved in plaster; they have been seen by many responsible people and even photographed by a few. Still, none of these elusive monsters has ever been captured, and an incredulous world is undecided about their existence.
In this exciting thought-provoking book, a respected primate biologist has researched every sighting, has sifted through all the evidence to come up with startling conclusions about this most mysterious being.
John Napier of Merchiston (/ˈneɪpɪər/; 1550 – 4 April 1617) – also signed as Neper, Nepair – named Marvellous Merchiston, was a Scottish landowner known as a mathematician, physicist, and astronomer. He was the 8th Laird of Merchiston.
John Napier is best known as the inventor of logarithms. He also invented the so-called "Napier's bones" and made common the use of the decimal point in arithmetic and mathematics.
Napier's birthplace, Merchiston Tower in Edinburgh, Scotland, is now part of the facilities of Edinburgh Napier University.
