In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond

In Search of the Sasquatch

De: John Zada

Narrado por: Pete Cross

On the central and north coast of British Columbia, the Great Bear Rainforest is the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world, containing more organic matter than any other terrestrial ecosystem on the planet. The area plays host to a wide range of species, from thousand-year-old western cedars to humpback whales to iconic white Spirit bears. According to local residents, another giant is said to live in these woods. For centuries, people have reported encounters with the Sasquatch - a species of hairy, bipedal man-apes said to inhabit the deepest recesses of this pristine wilderness.

Driven by his own childhood obsession with the creatures, John Zada decides to seek out the diverse inhabitants of this rugged and far-flung coast, where nearly everyone has a story to tell, from a scientist who has dedicated his life to researching the Sasquatch to members of the area’s First Nations and a former grizzly-bear hunter-turned-nature tour guide. With each tale, Zada discovers that his search for the Sasquatch is a quest for something infinitely more complex, cutting across questions of human perception, scientific inquiry, indigenous traditions, the environment, and the power and desire of the human imagination to believe in - or reject - something largely unseen.

Loved this book. You really can see through John's eyes the experiences he had while on the adventure of a lifetime. No spoilers just a great book.

Excellent book!

Beautiful descriptions- wonderfully written and wonderfully read. I highly recommend this book to anyone searching for information about indigenous populations and their experience with unexplained phenomena. Very interesting book!!

A great narrative

A fantastic book about one man's journey to discover the truth of Sasquatch. It's not the kind of book you want to read if you are looking for irrefutable proof of Sasquatch, but a fantastic picture of the life and legends of the Great Bear Rainforest.

Better than 5 stars

Absolutely well written and detailed. As much about sasquatch as there is about first nations people and their lives. So fulfilling that I wish there was a book 2 to go with it. Extremely well read. You are sucked in and even at the end you find you're saddened that it's over.
