As UK based author of the recently published 'Encyclopaedia of The Loch Ness Monster' and President of the Internationally acclaimed - Loch Ness Monster Research Society, Paul Harrison is author of fourteen published books, and has appeared on television and radio in the UK discussing Nessie. The Encyclopaedia of The Loch Ness Monster has taken ten years of dedicated research and is now classed as the 'definitive' guide to the phenomenon of the Loch Ness Monster. Harrison has led ten 'private' expeditions to the loch in search of the enigma. He will lead us through Nessie's history, right up to present day, he will also discuss what the future holds for Loch Ness Monster research, and how the LNMRS intends to further investigations in the 21st century. The website of the Loch Ness Monster Research Society has received upwards of a staggering 220,000 hits in less than eight weeks, worldwide Society membership increases daily - proving that serious interest in Nessie is anything but diminishing.
