Gr 5 Up-Comprised of four chapters, these useful introductions begin with definitions and descriptions and move through history, and cultural beliefs and practices in various parts of the world, scientific investigations, and contemporary practices and popularity in movies, television, books, and games. Readable text on white pages predominates, accompanied and occasionally interrupted by asides on related topics set in blue blocks. Selected photos in varied sizes are unfortunately caught into the binding in Abominable Snowman. Bibliographies range from meager to generous. No websites are listed; a note refers readers to the publisher's site to find recommendations. VERDICT Adequate additions to paranormal collections.
