Tales of Bigfoot, the Yeti, and the Loch Ness monster are part of our collective experience. Now comes a book from two dedicated investigators that explores and elucidates the fascinating world of cryptozoology. Daniel Loxton and Donald R. Prothero have written an entertaining, educational, and definitive text on cryptids, presenting the arguments both for and against their existence and systematically challenging the pseudoscience that perpetuates their myths. After examining the nature of science and pseudoscience and their relation to cryptozoology, Loxton and Prothero take on Bigfoot; the Yeti, or Abominable Snowman, and its cross-cultural incarnations; the Loch Ness monster and its highly publicized sightings; the evolution of the Great Sea Serpent; and Mokele Mbembe, or the Congo dinosaur. They conclude with an analysis of the psychology behind the persistent belief in paranormal phenomena, identifying the major players in cryptozoology, discussing the character of its subculture, and considering the challenge it poses to clear and critical thinking in our increasingly complex world. 606 $aCryptozoology 606 $aAnimals, Mythical 606 $aPseudoscience 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCryptozoology. 615 0$aAnimals, Mythical. 615 0$aPseudoscience. 676 $a001.944 700 $aLoxton$b Daniel$f1975-$01035592 702 $aProthero$b Donald R. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463117403321 996 $aAbominable science$92455365 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01005nam a22002771i 4500 001 991004104299707536 005 20021108131958.0 008 020706s1988 it |||||||||||||||||ita 020 $a8817166464 035 $ab11913393-39ule_inst 035 $aARCHE-000322$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Filologia Ling. e Lett.$bita$cA.t.i.

To better addresssustainable developmentconcerns associated with transnational investment activities, international investment agreements should be made more compatible with sustainable development. Integrating Sustainable Development in International Investment Law presents an importantsystematic study of the issue of sustainable developmentin the international investment law system, using conceptual, normative and governance perspectives to explore the challenges and possible solutions for making international investment law more compatible with sustainable development. Chi suggests that to effectively address the sustainable development concerns associated with transnational investment activities, the international investment agreements system should be reformed. Such reform should feature redesigning the provisions of the agreements, improving the structure of international investment agreements, strengthening the function of soft law, engaging non-state actors and enhancing the dispute settlement mechanism. The book is primarily aimed at national and international treaty and policy-makers, lawyers and scholars. It is also suitable for graduate students studying international law and policy-making. 410 0$aRoutledge global cooperation series. 606 $aInvestments, Foreign (International law) 606 $aSustainable development 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign (International law) 615 0$aSustainable development. 676 $a346/.092 676 $a346.092 700 $aChi$b Manjiao$f1976-$01750860 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910875593703321 996 $aIntegrating sustainable development in international investment law$94185615 997 $aUNINA
