Thoughtful and generous look at the so-called science of cryptozoology and some of its most famous subjects. Unlike (for example) Abominable Science!, which largely focused on demolishing the literalist approach to cryptids, Naish's book is more interested in why people keep thinking that they're seeing monsters, identifying a number of cultural and psychological factors.

That said, the book does include a fairly comprehensive overview of the big-name cryptids (bigfoot, Nessie, sea monsters, etc), although as book is written from a scientific perspective the conclusions should come as no great surprise. Accessibly readable and notably positive; makes a coherent case that cryptozoology as a discipline has genuine scientific value even if all the best-known topics of it are bunkum.
