Braaaiiinnnsss!: From Academics to Zombies

By Stacey Smith, John Seavey, Anthony Wilson

Book Overview

In the fight against zombies, our most important weapons are our brains. It's time to unleash them. Think you know a thing or two about zombies? Think again. If you're going to keep your wits--and your brains--about you during a zombie attack, you need expert advice.

Braaaiiinnnsss : From Academics to Zombies gathers together an irreverent group of scholars and writers to take a serious look at how zombies threaten almost every aspect of our lives. Spawned from the viral publication "When Zombies Attack : Mathematical Modelling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection," this multidisciplinary book draws on a variety of fields including biology, history, law, gender studies, archaeology, library science and landscape architecture.

Part homage to zombie films and fiction, part cultural study, this collection humorously explores our deep-seated fear of the undead. Engaging and accessible, Braaaiiinnnnssss will amuse academics and zombie fans alike.
