Bigfoot!: The True Story of Apes in America
by Loren ColemanFor years, scientists and researchers have studied, speculated about, and searched for an enigmatic creature that is legendary in the annals of American folklore. Now, learn the truth about... BIGFOOT! In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery -- could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins! From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.
Bigfoot: A Fifty-Year Journey Come Full Circle
by Matthew JohnsonAlthough the Bigfoot phenomena has fascinated humanity around the world throughout history, the Patterson/Gimlin film, shot in 1967, most certainly caught the world's attention like never before. However, what most people don't know is that the famous film also kicked off a carefully thought out game plan implemented by the Bigfoot Forest People in order to accomplish a life-saving agenda. Regarding the Bigfoot Forest People, there are never any accidents. They do everything with intention and purpose. On July 1, 2000, Dr. Matthew A. Johnson and his family encountered a Bigfoot on the mountain above the Oregon Caves National Park. Since that world famous encounter occurred, Dr. Johnson spent sixteen years of his life pursuing the Bigfoot Forest People with persistence and relentless commitment. He transitioned from an aggressive “Old School” paparazzi money shot researcher, to a habituator, and on to an interactionist. Bigfoot: A Fifty Year Journey Come Full Circle ties several stories and experiences together to help explain who the Bigfoot Forest People are, where they come from, and why they're here.In short, there is no other Bigfoot book out this like this one. You are one hundred percent guaranteed that this book will overwhelm you with the truth and promises to blow your mind in the process. The Bigfoot research community is going to change in a major positive direction.
Bigfoot: The Life and Times of a Legend
by Joshua Blu BuhsLast August, two men in rural Georgia announced that they had killed Bigfoot. The claim drew instant, feverish attention, leading to more than 1,000 news stories worldwide -- despite the fact that nearly everyone knew it was a hoax. Though Bigfoot may not exist, there's no denying Bigfoot mania. With "Bigfoot", Joshua Blu Buhs traces the wild and woolly story of America's favorite homegrown monster. He begins with nineteenth-century accounts of wild men roaming the forests of America, treks to the Himalayas to reckon with the Abominable Snowman, then takes us to northern California in 1958, when reports of a hairy hominid loping through remote woodlands marked Bigfoot's emergence as a modern marvel. Buhs delves deeply into the trove of lore and misinformation that has sprung up around Bigfoot in the ensuing half century. We meet charlatans, pseudo-scientists, and dedicated hunters of the beast -- and with Buhs as our guide, the focus is always less on evaluating their claims than on understanding why Bigfoot has inspired all this drama and devotion in the first place. What does our fascination with this monster say about our modern relationship to wilderness, individuality, class, consumerism, and the media? Writing with a scientist's skepticism but an enthusiast's deep engagement, Buhs invests the story of Bigfoot with the detail and power of a novel, offering the definitive take on this elusive beast.

Bigger Deal: A Year Inside the Poker Boom
by Anthony HoldenIn the years since Anthony Holden wrote his classic memoir Big Deal, the poker world has changed beyond recognition. When Holden played in the 1988 World Series of Poker there were 167 starters competing for a prize of $270,000. Since then, poker has become the world's largest single-competitor sport -- at the 2006 World Series there were almost 9,000 players and a first prize of $12 million, the richest in any sport. What happened in the years between Big Deal and Bigger Deal could never have been predicted: the Internet and television sparked a worldwide explosion in the popularity of poker, one that shows no sign of abating. Poker even has a respectable image these days, much to the disgust of die-hard players. Gone are the seedy rooms of the Horseshoe -- you can't even smoke at the table! -- and you're more likely to find yourself head to head with a film star than an ex-con in Las Vegas. With the future of online poker now legally endangered in the United States, Holden's vision of the poker boom comes at a critical moment in the game's history. In Bigger Deal, Holden is your guide to the world of the "new" poker -- to the players who dominate the modern game and the personalities behind the multibillion-dollar business it has become -- as he tries once again to win the world title. After all, as Telly Savalas once reminded Holden, a million dollars is never irrelevant. Not to mention twelve...

Bigger Fish to Fry: A Theory of Cooking as Risk, with Greek Examples (New Anthropologies of Europe: Perspectives and Provocations #3)
by David E. SuttonWhat defines cooking as cooking, and why does cooking matter to the understanding of society, cultural change and everyday life?

Richly illustrated with examples from the author’s anthropology fieldwork in Greece, Bigger Fish to Fry proposes a new approach to the meaning of cooking and how the study of cooking can reshape our understanding of social processes more generally.

Bigger Is Better
by Big AngGO BIG OR GO BIGGER Everything about Angela "Big Ang" Raiola is larger than life: her lips, her 36JJ breasts, and especially her personality! In a lifestyle guide as genuine and fun as Big Ang herself, the star of VH1's Mob Wives, called the show's "den mother" by the New York Times, serves up the hilarious and poignant wisdom she's learned while running her bar, raising her family, and dating made men. Big Ang has rules to live by for beauty, food, family, friendship, and more. Here she is . . . ON HER KILLER BOOBS: I was on vacation with my family in the Catskills when out of nowhere, this bat flies right into my chest and then falls splat on the ground. Turned out, he died on impact. ON FAMILY TRADITIONS: Every Sunday, we do a feast for fifteen to twentyfive people. Last week, we went through seventy-five meatballs. Even by my family's standards, that's a lot of balls. ON DIETING: Swearing off lasagna to lose weight? You might fit into smaller jeans. But you're still the same person-- except hungrier and bitchier. ON HOBBIES: Would I rather cook for people or have sex? No hard-and-fast rule there. But I will say this: Cooking is always satisfying.
Bigger Isn't Always Better: Choosing Your Portions
by Rae SimonsThe book explores the contributions of increasingly larger portion sizes to the problem of obesity in America.
Bigger Isn't Always Better: Choosing Your Portions (Kids & Obesity)
by Rae SimonsOur world likes big things--and things keep getting bigger. For example, did you know that 20 years ago, a can of Coke was nearly one-third the size it is today? Or that bagels were also about a third smaller? Even the plates we eat on have gotten larger. All this means that we're eating more. And that's a problem. Being overweight causes health problems, even in kids. So it's time to take a look at portion sizes--and do what's right for your body!
Bigger Isn't Always Better: The New Mindset For Real Business Growth
by Robert M. TomaskoYou want your business to grow. But don’t confuse growth with expansion. To be sure, increased size can be an important component (or fortuitous by-product) of business success, but companies that expand too much, too quickly, or too myopically may soon find themselves too big for their britches. What, then, is real growth? Simply put, it’s progress, and it is based on moving the business beyond the self-imposed limits that have come to define and constrain it. Good “growers” know that true success is fueled by imagination, not by a stream of mergers, stock price manipulations, or clever accounting. These individuals share seven characteristics that enable them to foster real, sustainable growth. Bigger Isn’t Always Better reveals these traits, why they are effective, and how to apply them in your organization. The book shows how successful companies and growers: * Know where to look * Know what they want * Tell the truth * Create tension to generate forward movement * Win hearts and minds * Master momentum and bounce * Know when to let go, and share the wealth Distilling a decade of research and personal interviews on three continents, author Bob Tomasko illustrates the seven traits with examples from companies—large and small, well known and less so—that have profited through innovative strategies that focus on genuine growth opportunities instead of the appearance of growth. Profiles include: Darcy Winslow, who helped testosterone-fueled Nike grow by creating a range of products for women that opened a new and profitable market Chris Mottern of Peet’s Coffee, which carved a niche by slipstreaming around the wake created by Starbucks Roger Enrico, the Pepsi veteran who created The Pepsi Challenge and established Pepsi as the Coke of snack foods Bill Greenwood of Burlington Northern, which found a way to turn truckers, the railroad’s most difficult competitors, into its best customers Al Bru, who got health-conscious consumers to embrace Frito-Lay’s snack products by eliminating trans fats Carlos Gutierrez, who restored Kellogg to a growth path by eliminating its fixation on volume Bigger Isn’t Always Better also offers stunning examples of the failure of the Big-Is-Good philosophy, including the ill-fated Hewlett-Packard/Compaq merger and its highest-profile casualty, CEO Carly Fiorina. After years of cutbacks, growth is in again. But instead of assuming that an inflated business can dominate a market through sheer size or manufactured numbers, the new model shows how engaged growers use positive psychology to drive robust and sustainable growth. Combining real-life stories, thorough scientific research, and insightful analysis, Bigger Isn’t Always Better shows how your organization can move forward—without tripping over its own feet.
Bigger Pictures for Innovation: Creating Solutions, Managing Enterprises, and Influencing Policies
by William B. RouseThis book comprises a set of stories about being an engineer for many decades and the lessons the author learned from research and practice. These lessons focus on people and organizations, often enabled by technology. The settings range from airplanes, power plants, and communication networks to ecosystems that enable education, healthcare, and transportation. All of these settings are laced with behavioral and social phenomena that need to be understood and influenced. The author’s work in these domains has often led to the question: "Well, why does it work like that?" He invariably sought to understand the bigger picture to find the sources of requirements, constraints, norms, and values. He wanted to understand what could be changed, albeit often with much effort to overcome resistance. He found that higher levels of an ecosystem often provide the resources and dictate the constraints imposed on lower levels. These prescriptions are not just commands. They also reflect values and cultural norms. Thus, the answers to the question were not just technical and economic. Often, the answers reflected eons of social and political priorities. The endeavors related in the book frequently involved addressing emerging realities rather than just the status quo. This book is an ongoing discovery of these bigger pictures. The stories and the lessons related in this book provide useful perspectives on change. The understanding of people and organizations that emerges from these lessons can help to enable transformative change. Fundamental change is an intensely human-centric endeavor, not just for the people and organizations aspiring to change, but also for the people helping them. You will meet many of these people in this book as the stories unfold. The genesis of this book originated in a decision made early in the author’s career. He had developed a habit of asking at the end of each day, "What did I really accomplish today?" This was sometimes frustrating as he was not sure the day had yielded any significant accomplishments. One day it dawned on him that this was the wrong question – He needed to ask, "What did I learn today?" It is always possible to learn, most recently about public health and climate change. In planning this book, the author first thought in terms of accomplishments such as projects conducted, systems built, and articles and books published. He could not imagine this being interesting to readers. Then, it struck him – It is much more interesting to report on what he learned about people and organizations, including how he helped them accomplish their goals. This is a book of stories about how these lessons emerged.

Bigger Than Bernie: How We Go from the Sanders Campaign to Democratic Socialism
by Micah Uetricht Meagan DayWin or lose, Bernie has reshaped the landscape of American politics. Where does the political revolution go next?The political ambitions of the movement behind Bernie Sanders have never been limited to winning the White House. Since Bernie first entered the presidential primaries in 2016, his supporters have worked to organize a revolution intended to encourage the active participation of millions of ordinary people in political life. That revolution is already underway, as evidenced by the massive growth of the Democratic Socialists of America, the teachers Bernie motivated to lead strikes across red and blue states, and the rising new generation of radicals in Congress—led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar—inspired by his example.In Bigger than Bernie, activist writers Meagan Day and Micah Uetricht give us an intimate map of this emerging movement to remake American politics top to bottom, profiling the grassroots organizers who are building something bigger, and more ambitious, than the career of any one candidate. As participants themselves, Day and Uetricht provide a serious analysis of the prospects for long-term change, offering a strategy for making &“political revolution&” more than just a campaign slogan. They provide a road map for how to entrench democratic socialism in the halls of power and in our own lives.Bigger than Bernie offers unmatched insights into the people behind the most unique campaign in modern American history and a clear-eyed sense of how the movement can sustain itself for the long haul.

Bigger Than Life: The Close-Up and Scale in the Cinema
by Mary Ann DoaneIn Bigger Than Life Mary Ann Doane examines how the scalar operations of cinema, especially those of the close-up, disturb and reconfigure the spectator's sense of place, space, and orientation. Doane traces the history of scalar transformations from early cinema to the contemporary use of digital technology. In the early years of cinema, audiences regarded the monumental close-up, particularly of the face, as grotesque and often horrifying, even as it sought to expose a character's interiority through its magnification of detail and expression. Today, large-scale technologies such as IMAX and surround sound strive to dissolve the cinematic frame and invade the spectator's space, “immersing” them in image and sound. The notion of immersion, Doane contends, is symptomatic of a crisis of location in technologically mediated space and a reconceptualization of position, scale, and distance. In this way, cinematic scale and its modes of spatialization and despatialization have shaped the modern subject, interpolating them into the incessant expansion of commodification.
