A gorgeous and vibrantly illustrated field guide cataloging various species of mermaids, based on real ecological details - with a strong environmental focus.
Emily B. Martin splits her time between working as a park ranger
and an author/illustrator, resulting in her characteristic
eco-fantasy adventures. An avid hiker and explorer, her experiences
as a ranger help inform the characters and worlds she creates on
paper. When not patrolling places like Yellowstone, the Great Smoky
Mountains, or Philmont Scout Ranch, she lives in South Carolina
with her husband, Will, and two daughters, Lucy and Amelia.

"Definitively making the point that mermaids can be found anywhere there is water--even a little, or for a little while--Martin depicts dozens of types, each linked to a specific (real) locale and arranged by their favored habitats, from deep ocean abyssal zones to shallow desert pools, hot springs to swimming pools. An indispensable, encyclopedic resource for nature quests--mythological or otherwise." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
