Hoaxed!
ISBN: 9781909488168 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The work in hand is not a brief for the existence of specific cryptids.

Some may be classified as honest efforts to resolve enduring mysteries; others are shameless frauds: hoaxed hoaxes, if you will. Some critics refer to the self-styled "skeptics" and "critical thinkers" promoting such transparent fables as skofftics. Hoaxed consists of six topical chapters. Chapter 1 examines the media's treatment of a possible giant cephalopod beached...
