...But If a Zombie Apocalypse Did Occur - Essays on Medical, Military, Governmental, Ethical, Economic and Other Implications (Paperback)

The roots of the zombie apocalypse are grounded in modern literature, movies, and mythology and in this book we apply an academic treatment and professional rigor to examine the real-world implications of such an event. Each essay presents a unique perspective that relies on real world, historical, and evidence based examples, as well as those from Hollywood and popular culture. This allows a discussion of the probability of life, behavior, and reaction during an undead invasion. All essays use the zombie apocalypse as a metaphor for real world catastrophes, including a balance of both popular culture and academic references.
