      abstract = {Mermen? Yes. Long before mermaids emerged to people our  inner seas. Long before they established their restless,  inviting niche in human fantasy, there was the merman. Born  of the human need to dominate the great fruitful oceans, to  control the vast destructive seas, to regulate the healing  rains, to understand the tides, the merman emerged. Yet  despite the importance of early fish-tailed gods such as  Ea-Enki and Dagon; despite the preponderance of merman in  the mythologies of Babylon, Greece, the British Isles, the  Scandinavian peninsula, Germany; despite the mermen ranging  along Slavic shores and inland seas; despite the mermen  found in Chinese and Japanese lakes, along Polynesian  island coasts, and in the lore and literature of the Middle  East, the merman has become Legend's Forgotten Man. With  its 27 stories from around the world, this volume  reconstructs the unnatural history of the Merman.},
