Download or read book Bigfoot Beyond Belief written by Sharon Eby and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an ethnographic exploration and general overview of what people believe about the cryptid called Bigfoot, otherwise known in North America as Sasquatch. This anthropological study covers how and what people understand about Bigfoot and cryptozoology, but focuses on the perspective of believers. Those within the Bigfoot subculture have unique cosmologies, views, experiences, and biases that help them learn. understand, and define reality in their own ways, which colors their perspectives and aids them in their narratives to explain the phenomenon. The ethno-historical viewpoint, including Native/First Nations beliefs, are covered in this book, which describes folklore, legends, and myths about these Wildmen of the forest. Included are place-names maps, the 'five types of people', true skeptics, the Parks and Forest Service viewpoint, Bigfoot organizations and their research, cultural geography, the alleged new owner of the PG Film, what people think about physical and anecdotal evidence, the paranormal aspect, PTSD/trauma related incidences, the rhetoric around Bigfoot culture and language/communication, habituation techniques, the Relict Hominoid Inquiry, orang-pendek, Bigfoot in popular culture, as well as a deeper look into the symbolic-cultural projection effect, the pro-kill 'type' of Bigfoot believer, and more. This book is not set out to prove or disprove the existence of Bigfoot and is purposefully neutral in that regard. What the author does look for is the emic (inside) view of what believers believe, plus why and how that happens, presenting a strong cultural aspect behind these beliefs through cultural sharing and enculturation. But this also raises questions as to what people think Bigfoot might be based on eyewitness testimonies, especially in light of physical evidence or personal sighting accounts, and focuses on how people describe their experiences, which sometimes causes a liminal state where they go from 'unbeliever' to becoming a true 'believer'.

Download or read book Solar Distillation Practice for Water Desalination Systems written by G. N. Tiwari and published by Anshan Pub. This book was released on 2008 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book essentially summarises the water shortage crisis in the world and its possible solution by using solar energy through solar stills. The world is facing an urgent problem. By 2015, 40 per cent of the world's population will be living in regions without adequate fresh water supply. Presently, almost all sea water desalination plans are electricity based and highly power intensive. With more than half the world likely to become dependent on sea water desalination such an energy-expensive scenario is clearly not sustainable.The aim of the book is to provide the most recent information on various practices, developments and improvements in water distillation, heat and mass transfer in solar distillation, thermal modelling and embedded energy of solar stills, and the applications of solar distillation in today's world. The concluding chapter also deals with economic analysis of solar distillation. To simplify the subject, figures, tables, solved examples and problems with hints are given at the end of each chapter, and there are appendices and a glossary of meaningful terms to assist the reader. The authors have written an outstanding academic work which carries weight and resonance beyond university courses and libraries, and which impacts on the global population.
