Some are lectures given at the three conferences (Ergodic Theory and Topological Dynamics, Symbolic Dynamics and Coding Theory and Smooth Dynamics, Dynamics and Applied Dynamics) held in Maryland between October 1986 and March 1987; some are work which was in progress during the Special Year, and some are work which was done because of questions and problems raised at the conferences. In addition, a paper of John Milnor and William Thurston, versions of which had been available as notes but not yet published, is included.Lecture Notes in Mathematics,0075-8434 ;1342Topological dynamicsTopological dynamics.510Alexander J.1942-University of Maryland, College Park.Department of Mathematics.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996466475703316Dynamical systems80233UNISA04371oam 2200541I 450 991014953270332120240501153919.01-315-56729-61-317-18045-31-317-18046-110.4324/9781315567297 (CKB)3710000000934042(MiAaPQ)EBC4732736(OCoLC)962306117(BIP)56234479(BIP)41408626(EXLCZ)99371000000093404220180706d2017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierAnthropology and cryptozoology researching encounters with mysterious creatures /edited by Samantha Hurn1st ed.New York, N.Y. :Routledge,2017.1 online resource (227 pages) illustrations, tablesMultispecies Encounters1-4094-6675-2 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.1.

In consequence, and in part because of its selective methods and lack of epistemological rigour, cryptozoology is often dismissed as a pseudo-science. However, there is a growing recognition that social science can benefit from engaging with it, for as as social scientists are very well aware, 'scientific' categorisation and explanation represents just one of a myriad of systems used by humans to enable them to classify and make sense of the world around them. In many cultural contexts, myth, folk classification and lived experience challenge the 'truth' expounded by scientists. With a reflexive, anthropological approach and drawing on rich empirical and ethnographic studies from around the world, this volume engages with the theoretical and methodological issues raised by reported sightings of unrecognised animals. Bringing into sharp focus the anthropological value and challenges for methodology posed by beliefs about unclassified creatures, Anthropology and Cryptozoology: Exploring encounters with mysterious creatures will be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists and geographers working in the fields of research methods, anthrozoology, mythology and folklore and human-animal interaction.Multispecies encounters.MonstersPsychological aspectsCryptozoologyAnthropologyMonstersPsychological aspects.Cryptozoology.Anthropology.001.944Hurn Samantha893987MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910149532703321Anthropology and cryptozoology2058502UNINA
