Unexplained: Strange Sightings, Incredible Occurrences, and Puzzling Physical Phenomena by Jerome Clark

admin — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 06:42:00 +0000

Clark’s clear and professional writing style has only improved over
the years. A sly, very subtle wit frequently emerges (“perhaps wisely,
he takes this vague idea no further”). Although it’s evident Clark’s
mind is open to most of the phenomena explored in the book, for the
most part he keeps his opinions to himself, opting instead to let his
reader make his or her own judgement based on the information available.

The Enigma of Loch Ness: Making Sense of a Mystery by Henry H. Brauer

admin — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:53:49 +0000

Bauer is a chemist, currently Dean of Virginia Polytechnic’s College of
Arts and Sciences, and a “Nessie” believer. His book, however, deals
with Loch Ness monster hunters. Bauer critiques claims and publications
by fraudulent “Nessie” hunters and offers an apologia for honest
monster hunters whose work the scientific community scorns. His book
includes a checklist of “Nessie” sightings from A.D. 565 to January
1985, an extensive bibliography, and reproductions of many legitimate
and hoax photographs. Larger libraries aiming for balance or colleges
collecting works on cryptozoology may want this; however, “Nessie” fans
may find Bauer’s scholarly detachment too aloof for their tastes.

The Water Horse – Legend of the Deep DVD

admin — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:14:38 +0000

Based on a novel by Dick King-Smith, author of The Sheep Pig (from which Babe was adapted), the touching and often spectacular The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep
ingeniously presumes to explain the truth behind “Nessie,” i.e., the
Loch Ness Monster. The story, told in present day to a couple of
American tourists by a kindly gentleman (Brian Cox) in a pub, begins
with a lonely boy, Angus (Alex Etel), pining for his father, who is
serving in the Royal Navy during World War II. Angus, along with his
sister (Priyanka Xi) and mother (Emily Watson), live on an estate that
has been billeted by soldiers in the Scottish Highlands, near Loch
Ness. The troop’s commander (David Morissey) has an eye for mom,
suspicions about a mysterious handyman, Lewis (Ben Chaplin), who is
also a war hero, and an absurd contention that the Highlands are the
real frontline in the war against Germany.

The Water Horse by Dick King-Smith

admin — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:59:43 +0000

Set in the 1930s, this story tells of a young Scottish girl, Kirstie,
and her brother, Angus, who find a mysterious egg capsule washed up on
shore after a storm and take it home. To their delight, this “mermaid’s
purse” hatches into a lovable sea monster they call Crusoe. It keeps
growing and growing, until finally it is too big to live anywhere but
in nearby Loch Ness. Children who enjoy animal stories will welcome one
about this unusual creature. The characters are believable and, since
King-Smith relates events from the point of view of the water horse as
well as those of Kirstie and her family, readers get to know the
friendly, not-at-all-fearsome monster. Occasional black-and-white
illustrations effectively complement the text. Crusoe is bound to make
a splash with children everywhere.
