Synopsis
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 bio resilience as a parallel dynamic to biodiversity, thus widening the scope of our understanding of ecology.Yeti:

Newspapers & Magazines
To find out [Taylor's conclusions on the mystery of the yeti], I recommend you read the book, no matter if you hope to trek the mountain forests and snowfields to see for yourself, or if you prefer reading it at home by the fire as an arm-chair explorer. But be prepared, for it is such an alluring saga that once you start you may not be able to put it down 'til the book is finished, the mystery is solved, and you have learned something remarkable about both the beast and the man. * Don Messerschmidt Portland Book Review *
