Summary

Glow-in-the-dark owls, eggs boiling in Icelandic hot pools, the gangster tactics of the devil's coach-horse beetle … Éanna Ní Lamhna has seen them all! 
Éanna explores the wonders of our wild world, from a safari in Tanzania to the cloud forests of Costa Rica, from rat-hunting in Canada to whale watching in New Zealand. She draws on her experience as a diver to tell of face-to-face encounters with fascinating fan worms, elusive sea hares and a murderous crab, and rings the alarm bells on the environmental challenges facing us. 
Éanna also recounts with cheerful relish the pitfalls and delights of being a broadcaster and a scientist. Sure why would anyone want to be anything else?

    There are thousands of reports of Bigfoot in North America and other sites around the world. These sightings include videos, pictures, and the stories of witnesses. 
    I’ve researched and written about many types of cryptids and the reports of Bigfoot sightings are orders of magnitudes greater than any other cryptid sightings. These witnesses definitely saw something which is not human but bipedal. 
    The questions to me which need answering are ones like: 
    ·        How could so many Bigfoots exist in North America but the sightings are still pretty rare? 
    ·        Why haven’t any Bigfoot skeletons been discovered? 
    ·        Where do they live at and what do they eat? 
    ·        Do they have any supranormal abilities? 
    ·        Is Bigfoot an interdimensional being? 
     We will try to answer some of the questions in this book and propose some out of the box possibilities too. 
     There is a lot of Bigfoot information in this book so I hope you enjoy reading this compilation about Bigfoot.

    In this comprehensive series, we delve into three distinct yet impactful health conditions that affect millions of individuals across the globe. Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement, leading to tremors, stiffness, and balance problems. This progressive condition challenges not only the individuals living with it but also their families and caregivers, requiring ongoing management and adjustment to daily life. By understanding the causes, symptoms, and current treatments available, we aim to shed light on this complex disease and offer strategies for living with it. 
    Next, we explore Sciatica, a condition caused by the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which can result in sharp, radiating pain in the lower back and legs. Sciatica can be debilitating, often limiting mobility and affecting one's ability to perform routine tasks. We will examine its causes, the various forms it takes, and the most effective treatments, from physical therapy to medication, offering practical advice on managing the pain and improving quality of life. 
    Lastly, we address Shingles, a viral infection caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. While commonly known for the painful rash it produces, shingles can also lead to severe nerve pain that persists long after the rash has healed, a condition known as postherpetic neuralgia. This book explores the risk factors, symptoms, and treatments available, along with preventive measures such as vaccination. By providing in-depth information, we aim to empower individuals to better understand and manage shingles, reducing its impact on their health and well-being. 
    Through these books, we seek to provide a detailed and compassionate approach to understanding these conditions.
