À propos de cet audio
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.

The Sasquatch book I needed
I've had a lifelong interest in sasquatch. From true believer, to skeptic, to now somewhere in between. It was easy for me to put myself in the authors position, if someone who really wants to believe. Like the author, I am fascinated by the folklore and by the people who have had experiences. Even if you're not interested in Sasquatch, this book is a fascinating travelog of remote first nation communities.

An intelligent and thoughtful story
Lately I have found myself caught up in stories of Sasquatch. I have noticed a lot of sensationalism and Clickbait. Being caught up in this, I looked for a more thoughtful record, and found it in this book. The author approaches his subject with a lot of care and respect for both the land and the people he speaks to along the way. There are some real characters, and entertaining stories in here. His writing served as a palate cleanser for a lot of the crap that is out there. And the narrator did a good job! So thank you, John Zara, for writing this book.

About more than the Sasquatch
I thought the intent of the book was to educate on the Sasquatch mystery but the book ended up being much more. A pinch folklore, a pinch research, a dab of First Nations and Big bear rainforest culture and a good dolup of what it is to be human and the challenges that entails. An added touch of metaphysics here and there just to keep things interesting
Thought it may just have been an extended version of the author's several articles on the subject but there was enough difference to keep me going.
An intriguing listen. Like everything else humans debate, the individuals involved seem to be divided, which benefits the discussion.
