In his review of <a href="http://www.anomalistbooks.com/steiger2.html"><strong><em>Worlds Before Our Own</em></strong></a>, Bob Rickard at <a href="http://www.forteantimes.com/"><em>Fortean Times</em></a> notes that author Brad Steiger&#8217;s &#8220;influence on forteana equals John Keel&#8217;s on ufology.&#8221; He then goes on to say: &#8220;From the prodigious Anomalist stable comes another breeze from the past..[the book's] thesis is that before conventional &#8216;prehistory,&#8217; there could have been a large, possibly global, and culturally advanced civilization&#8230;This is a refreshing glimpse of original sources unfiltered through the likes of von Daniken, Charroux, Tomas and more modern writers.&#8221; The tagline reads: &#8220;An inspiring and ground-breaking blast from the past.&#8221; Brad told us he was quite touched by Bob&#8217;s review. So were we.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.anomalistbooks.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/aww-med.jpg"><img src="http://www.anomalistbooks.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/aww-med.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="An Alien Who\&#039;s Who" width="84" height="128" class="align left size-thumbnail wp-image-71" /></a>Next comes Bill Chalker&#8217;s review of <a href="http://www.anomalistbooks.com/kottmeyer.html"><em><strong>An Alien Who&#8217;s Who</strong> </em></a>from <a href="http://www.ufologistmagazine.com"><em>The Ufologist Magazine</em></a>, published in Australia. Bill&#8217;s lack of fascination with the contactee realm clearly tempers his opinion of the book: &#8220;The UFO saga has spawned what must be the most bizarre Who&#8217;s Who in history. We have the prolific watcher and commentator on the historical, cultural, and psychological facets of UFO culture, Martin Kottmeyer to thank for [this book]&#8230;.[It's] an intriguing testament as to why the aliens of contactee tales inspire little confidence, and the why normally nameless abducting aliens seem more substantive. A matter of debate, I suspect, and Kottmeyer&#8217;s guide book may provide a helpful calibration point. It is from that perspective that his book is a welcome contribution.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.anomalistbooks.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/ee-med.jpg"><img src="http://www.anomalistbooks.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/ee-med.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="Extreme Expeditions" width="83" height="128" class="align left size-thumbnail wp-image-73" /></a>And last, but certainly not least, John Carlson of <a href="http://paranomalist.com/"><em>The Paranomalists</em></a> reviews <a href="http://www.anomalistbooks.com/davies.html"><em><strong>Extreme Expeditions</strong></em></a>. &#8220;The book is a firsthand account of Adam Davies&#8217;s experiences taken directly from his travel diaries while visiting various remote&#8211;and often dangerous&#8211;areas of the globe, pursuing his dream of finding and scientifically documenting the existence of so-called &#8216;legendary&#8217; creatures (known as cryptids, for those who are unfamiliar). Besides being an enormously entertaining and frequently riotously funny read, <em>Extreme Expeditions</em> is, I felt, a very moving account of a man that is motivated by both a fascination for these creatures and a deep concern for their safety and preservation&#8230;I came away from reading his book with deep respect for the man&#8217;s sense of purpose and sheer determination.&#8221;</p>

The first to appear was entitled &#8220;Monsters! Booze! Jungles! Guns!&#8221; at Nick Redfern&#8217;s blog, <a href="http://monsterusa.blogspot.com/2008/04/monsters-booze-jungles-guns.html"><em>There&#8217;s Something in the Woods&#8230;</em> </a>Wrote Nick: &#8220;If you&#8217;re looking to find out what really goes on behind-the-scenes during the course of a quest for monsters in exotic locales, then this is most definitely the book for you&#8230;Easy to read, packed with adventure, intrigue, humor and (of course) monsters, <em>Extreme Expeditions</em> is a book that&#8217;s entertaining, informative, memorable and instructive&#8230;&#8221; Then came Matt Bille&#8217;s review, entitled &#8220;A terrific read,&#8221; in <a href="http://mattbille.blogspot.com/2008/05/terrific-read-extreme-expeditions.html"><em>Matt&#8217;s Sci/Tech Blog</em></a>. The book, wrote Bille, &#8220;is not your average cryptozoology book. Davies spends a minimum of time rehashing old evidence and instead tells a rollicking first-person adventure tale&#8230;The book is a jaunty, sometimes profane tale of colorful but basically sane people making a sincere, sometimes dangerous effort to solve zoological mysteries.&#8221; Bille liked the book so much, in fact, that he wants Davies to do an encore: &#8220;I look forward to a sequel, if Davies survives his future expeditions long enough to write it.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left" src="http://www.anomalistbooks.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/ee-med.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Extreme Expeditions" />We&#8217;ve never met Adam Davies but from all indications he seems to be as nice a guy as you&#8217;ll ever meet. And there&#8217;s no question that when it comes to hands-on cryptozoology, he&#8217;s got a passion for it like no one else in the world. He doesn&#8217;t claim to be an expert on the subject; in fact, he defers to people like Loren Coleman and Karl Shuker when it comes to actual knowledge of the cryptids themselves. But we don&#8217;t know of anyone else who spends just about all their vacation time — and much of their discretionary income &#8212; traveling to some of the world&#8217;s most inhospitable and unexplored places looking for mystery animals such as the <em>mokele-mbebe</em>, Nessie, Selma, <em>orang pendek</em>, Almas, and the Mongolian Death Worm. Congo? He&#8217;s been there more than once. Sumatra? Ditto. Mongolia? Check. And Norway and Scotland, too, though we&#8217;re not claiming these are either inhospitable or unexplored! You&#8217;ve probably seen Adam on documentary programs on television and his discoveries have made headlines in newspapers around the world. Quite remarkable for a mild-mannered Civil Servant in the UK, wouldn&#8217;t you say? But don&#8217;t let your guard down. His new book, <a href="http://www.anomalistbooks.com/davies.html"><strong><em>Extreme Expeditions: Travel Adventures Stalking the World&#8217;s Mystery Animals</em></strong></a>, is a very raw travel adventure. The warning label we put on the book might strike you as humorous and in a sense it is. But it&#8217;s all true. &#8220;FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY: Foul language, excessive drinking, sexual situations, and encounters with some creatures of the natural world that would scare young children and more than a few adults as well.&#8221; Enjoy.</p>
