Dinosaurs, mermaids, and sea serpents in a range of colors and lengths, along with monster sharks, mystery seals, and giant penguins, all seem to have made the tourist-friendly waters of the region their home. In Florida, it became a running joke that the tourist season officially started when the first sea serpent report appeared in the newspapers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's behind all the reports? Hoaxes? Some certainly are. Yellow journalism? Yes, sometimes. Misidentifications? It's pretty common. A way to drum up business? Shocking, but true. But in that mix, there are probably some unidentified animals as well. David Goudsward digs up the original sources and interviews to sort fact from fiction, and tells some fascinating stories along the way. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Goudsward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949501116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949501117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anomalist Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"David Goudsward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126632116479,"sku":"9781949501117","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ecab7f79-af7d-432e-b928-6268df060017.jpg?v=1687449274","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sun-sand-and-sea-serpents-david-goudsward-9781949501117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
