The Ghost with Trembling Wings: Science, Wishful Thinking and the Search for Lost Species
reviewed on + 29 more book reviews


This is a highly readable account of the search for many of the more well known, and some less well known, crypto-zoological vanishing acts of the last century. The author does presents an open account of the likelihoods and problems facing rediscovering presumed extinct species. I thought this book to be very good especially when compared to other books in this area of research.
