CFZ: The 2011 Yearbook Has Arrived!




















Just like (A) Santa, (B) a re-run of a Morecambe and Wise Christmas show (which will mean nothing to you, unless you hail from the British Isles!), and (C) lots of drunken people singing Auld Lang Syne, the Center for Fortean Zoology's Yearbook is a once-a-year phenomenon.

And, I'm very pleased to announce, the 2011 edition - edited by the capable, ink-stained hands of Jon Downes - has just been published. As always, it provides the reader with a good and varied selection of papers. Here's the full listing of the CFZ's 2011 Yearbook:
