BORDERLANDS

First published in 1997, this book contains accounts of strange phenomena, ranging from surviving mammoths in Siberia to intelligent clouds over New Zealand, from frozen frogs to plagues of murderous manhole covers. It examines how and why these stories are reported, what they mean, and sets out the scientific and psychological explanations.
