"High Strangeness" -
This massive work (more pages than the first two volumes combined)
is the final volume of Jerome Clark's ultimate reference work on the
UFO phenomenon -- the "Encyclopaedia Britannica" of ufology.
Clark says the effort almost killed him!
Many entries have more depth
than entire books by others written on the same subjects.
An added bonus is the
inclusion of a cumulative index to all three volumes, as well as
a valuable cumulative bibliography for the entire set. You
can't call youself a "UFO Researcher" without this work on your
bookshelf! Over 5 pounds of UFO reference material contained in
easily accessible package.

From the Book Cover
What the critics are saying about High Strangeness:
''Clark's UFO Encyclopedia is a work of monumental proportions, possible
only for one with his vast knowledge and years of experience with this
subject. Volume 3 brings together an enormous quantity of material, well
organized, lucidly written and accompanied by extensive lists of references.
The cumulative bibliography alone would earn Clark the gratitude of
anyone studying the UFO phenomenon. As he has done in the previous
volumes, Clark not only surveys reports and publications; he provides very
solid discussion, analyzes and weighs arguments, places events in their
historical context--in short, he has done a masterful piece of scholarship,
while keeping the text clear and accessible. The subject matter of High
Strangeness is of enormous importance and interest, whatever one's
personal beliefs about UFOs. This book should be read by all with an
interest in UFOs, both amateurs and professionals, both skeptics and
believers, and it will be an indispensable reference work for many, many
years.''
--David J. Hufford, Ph.D.
Professor of Humanities, Penn State College of Medicine and
Author of The Terror That Comes in the Night
"Jerome Clark is the best expert one can expect to guide us through the
imaginary/real world of ufology during the 1960s, a world distinct in many
particulars from that of both the 1950s and the 1980s. This book makes for
fascinating reading and can be recommended to the UFO researcher,
whether a 'skeptic' or a 'believer', and to the social historian of the
controversies surrounding this field.''
--Pierre LaGrange
Sociologist Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines,
Centre de Sociologie de l'Innovation
Paris, France
"Provides well-referenced discussions of UFO-related cases, hoaxes, events,
and organizations--an indispensable reference for students of the UFO
phenomenon in this period.''
--David E. Pritchard, Ph.D.
Professor, Department of Physics
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"Clark handles the period with great skill and a remarkable breadth of
knowledge. Not only is the information up to date, but all the sources
bearing on the case at hand are carefully indicated. The amount of work that
went into this volume is awe-inspiring. I recommend this book highly to
anyone interested in UFOs but especially to libraries and scholars who need
a definitive source on the history of the UFO phenomenon.''
-Ron Westrum, Ph.D.
Professor, Department of Sociology,
Eastern Michigan University
