But what's true and what's fairy tale? </b></b> <p/>For centuries, mermaids have appeared in the folklore of cultures from around the world, including the Near East, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

This full-color, fully illustrated book tells you all you need to know about the myths, science, and history that surround mermaids.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sarah Laskow is the Online Senior Science Editor for <i>The Atlantic</i>.
