Soulless and dead. Infected and infectious. Zombies. The epidemic of the living dead is stronger than ever in today's pop-culture, but long before exotic viruses, biological warfare, and sinister military experiments brought the dead back to life in our cinemas and on our television screens, there were the dark spells and incantations of the ancient Egyptians, the Sumerians, and the Babylonians. Blending the historical with the modern, the biographical with the literary, the plants and animals with bacteria and viruses, the mythological with the horrifying true tales, The Zombie Book: The Encyclopedia of the Living Dead is a comprehensive resource to understanding, combating, and avoiding zombies. More than 250 entries cover everything from hit television shows, books, and movies, including The Walking Dead, World War Z and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, to zombies' ignominious role in folklore and mythology, such as the Greek god Asclepius, ancient Voodoo religion, and the Native American Wendigo legend. The Zombie Book: The Encyclopedia of the Living Dead examines mad cow disease, the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the Centers for Disease Control preparing for the end of the world, and much, much more"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Zombies $v Encyclopedias. 700 1 $a Steiger, Brad. 941 $a 7 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305033538.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204074223.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110060138.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418104015.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20150627010324.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150422011818.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20150218011231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91140E7E29C311E499A8AD93DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
