Yeti: The Ecology of a Mystery

Buch

This book is on the author's long search for the Yeti, the mythical mountain man long thought to inhabit the Himalayas. It describes in detail the discovery that giant human-like footprints are made by a previously unknown subspecies of bear and then the even more ambitious project, the creation of two national parks around Mt Everest for the protection of the endangered bear.
