Zombies menace humanity, yet we barely understand them.
There are books that show you how to kill the undead but this is the first study to explain the importance of zombies to us. Zombies of the World reveals the undead to be a valuable part of our ecosystem and the key to new discoveries in medicine and technology.No other book covers these topics.
Zombies of the World brilliantly documents that evolution has led to a wide variety of species.
Few outside the scientific community even realize that creatures like the Egyptian Mummy (Mortifera mumia aegyptus) are actually zombies. Some species are even harmless to humans. The Dancing Zombie (Mortifera immortalis choreographicus) only seeks to thrill humans with elaborate dance routines. Destroying the undead isn’t always the answer.
Even if we could annihilate all zombies, we would lose knowledge potentially vital to our own survival.
After decades of research, we have no idea why zombies never tire or stop. They possess an endless source of energy to shamble or (in some cases) sprint after us. Unlocking this mystery could benefit all humanity. Only Zombies of the World tackles this issue and many other paradoxes.
Review:
4 Stars – A great book filled with fun information and great images.
Some time ago I realized I was a geek. No I do not bite the heads off chickens but I do have a fascination with Monsters and things that go bump in the night. Yea its odd but its me. I dive into every dragonology, vampirology and other monster ology book I can find. So when I saw the blurb for “Zombies Of The World” I knew it was meant for me. Well I had a feeling I would thoroughly enjoy it and enjoy it I did.
ZotW (Zombies of the World) is a factual books about fictional creatures, this means that the information, although it is about creatures that do not exist (as far as I know), is presented in an entertaining but factual method. It is similar to a wild life guide only it is about zombies.
The book is well organized and easy to follow, it is also filled with tons of detailed graphics – which I must admit were rather hard on my e-reader. But that was my only real complaint about the book.
ZotW is an interesting and informative volume that is fun to read. I feel a little more prepared for a zombie apocalypse (heehee).
My favorite zombie has to be the Western Mall Zombie. I cannot help but giggle every time I look at the picture, tho I hope I never meet one in person, at least not without a large weapon LOL.
I definitely recommend Zombies Of The World to anyone who is interested in learning more about zombies. As well as to any role players who want to introduce new “meat” into their zombie genre games.
