Several of our staff have a giant nerd crush on the good people running the fabulous research-based podcast, Astonishing Legends. Library Manager Chris Eaton reached out to chat with the Astonishing Legends team because he wanted to know what's on the top of their reading list. "One thing I like about their podcast is how they cite all the books used to research the various topics they talk about on their podcast." From Amelia Earheart's disappearance to the New Jersey Devil, they discuss a wide array of topics. Chris asked their team to send us a top 10 list of their most highly recommended books from past shows and he was in luck! A few days later a response landed in his inbox from one of the podcast creators Scott Philbrook (swoon) and lead researcher Tess Pfeifle (double swoon) who said: "I think our top ten list, just based on research usage/interest/love of the books (in no particular order), would be [the list below]." Scott added that, of this list, "Dead Mountain was so great. One of the best. Also Yeti: The Ecology of a Mystery for sure." Chris tracked down these books in our own collection and gathered them right here for you! Check them out before they disappear in some mysterious circumstance.
