Yeti: The Ecology of a Mystery | Daniel C. Taylor
14 posts | 1 reading | 7 to read
As it turned out, young Daniel never outgrew the enchantment of the mysterious Yeti, the Abominable Snowman. His search for the enigmatic creature of Himalayan legends spread over many decades: from 1956 until 2015, Daniel C. Taylor visited almost all valley systems in his quest to explain the ‘Yeti’s footprints’. But to his surprise, solving the footprint mystery did not answer the Yeti question. As his quest evolved, Taylor went on to create two massive national parks around Mount Everest. Equipped with abundant knowledge of the Himalaya, Taylor tells a story that is captivating and full of surprises. He looks back at his exploration of the 2,000-mile-wide Himalaya and talks about bioresilience as a parallel dynamic to biodiversity, thus widening the scope of our understanding of ecology. Yeti: The Ecology of a Mystery is the extraordinary story of one man’s conservation impact and what it means for people to be part of the wild in today’s increasingly tamed world.

Childrens book mail is the BEST book mail! Especially when it comes with a yeti finger puppet board book!

Congratulations for this milestone @LaurenReads
The tagged book is my favorite non fiction till date (haven't read much of non fiction). I was so taken aback by the way author talks about little realities of life which we often do not take notice of.

Am on a very slow read with this book. There's too much information about various things. The author has written even the smallest of things so beautifully that I intend to take in each and every phrase and absorb in them. Also the law internship and yoga classes are taking a lot of my time and energy.

Life is in a world of imperfect understanding where things that appear concrete can be illusion, and illusions mask the identity of the real.

Found this book in a nearby book shop. The instant I layed my eyes on this, I knew I want to read this. 😂
Time for Science non-fiction!

Another reason I bought this because this is the original 1st edition, which is hard to spot in my city. And the cover looks pretty as well :P
