''Youngstown Daily Vindicator''. August 19, 1982.

In its review of his 1999 book "Cryptozoology A to Z", Salon.com commented that Clark and co-author Loren Coleman "show a touchingly supportive nature" for a subject often criticized for lack of scientific rigor. Sunday Express combined its review of Clark's 2000 book, ''Extraordinary Encounters, An Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrials and Otherworldly Beings'' with another similar book entitled ''UFOs and Popular Culture'' by James R. Lewis, calling both books "inexplicably entertaining" and commenting that they "manage throughout to maintain a healthy rationality and openmindedness, neither over-sceptical nor too ready to believe the claims of the UFOmongers." According to skeptical academic Paul Kurtz, "Clark attacks skeptics for being closed-minded and dogmatic, yet he is easily impressed by questionable evidence." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jerome Clark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
