It has also been disseminated more widely, initially through Western trade and colonisation and, more recently, through the increasing globalisation of media products and outlets. Scaled for Success offers the first detailed overview of the mermaids dispersal outside Europe. Complementing previous studies of the interrelationship between the mermaid and Mami Wata spirit in West Africa, this volume addresses the mermaids presence in a range of Middle Eastern, Asian, Australian, Latin American and North American contexts. Individual chapters identify the manner in which the mermaid has been variously syncretised and/or resignified in contexts as diverse as Indian public statuary, Thai cinema and Coney Islands annual Mermaid Parade. Rather than lingering as a relic of a bygone age, the mermaid emerges as a versatile, dynamic and, above all, polyvalent figure. Her prominence exemplifies the manner in which contemporary media-lore has extended the currency of established folkloric figures in new and often surprising ways. Analysing aspects of religious symbolism, visual art, literature and contemporary popular culture, this copiously illustrated volume profiles an intriguing and highly diverse phenomenon. 606 $aMermaids$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMermaids 676 $a398.21 676 $a398.45 700 $aHayward$b Philip$01089403 702 $aBraham$b Persephone 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965346503321 996 $aScaled for Success$94344006 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01212oam 2200385zu 450 001 9911004779103321 005 20210804000331.0 010 $a0-470-03111-5 010 $a1-59124-666-0 010 $a0-585-48999-8 035 $a(CKB)111086367665920 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000071860 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12014517 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000071860 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10091616 035 $a(PQKB)11379639 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111086367665920 100 $a20160829d2000 uy 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEngineers' Guide to Pressure Equipment: The Pocket Reference 210 31$a[Place of publication not identified]$cJohn Wiley & Sons Incorporated$d2000 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a1-86058-298-2 517 $aEngineers' Guide to Pressure Equipment 606 $aEngineering$xMechanical Engineering 615 4$aEngineering$xMechanical Engineering 700 $aMatthews$b Clifford$0471745 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911004779103321 996 $aEngineers' Guide to Pressure Equipment: The Pocket Reference$94392880 997 $aUNINA
