But the truth is far stranger: the more we \u003ci\u003ethink\u003c\/i\u003e we know about eels, the more the mysterious creature wriggles away, leaving even experts scratching their heads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd maybe this book tells you a few things about eels. We know, for instance, that they are fish even though they look like snakes. But how can we ever know if we’ve got the complete picture on anything? Why are we so certain of our knowledge...till we’re not? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith humor and expressive, bright illustrations, this book blends science and history to illuminate a real-life mystery that has puzzled great minds from Aristotle to Freud.
