Publisher's Synopsis
Zombies aren't real. To our knowledge, there are no secret government laboratories working on creating or defeating the zombie menace, but if such laboratories are ever created then sign us up to be the earth's last, best hope.Human Zombie Biology provides students the knowledge to gain a greater understanding of the concepts of biology as they apply to zombies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has even used zombies to educate the American Public on how to be prepared for any emergency, using the philosophy that if you are prepared for the zombies you are certainly prepared for whatever Mother Nature may throw at you.It is in this spirit that we offer you this book; what better way to learn the concepts of Biology than by using our friend the zombie?Think you don't use biology? Think again. Every time you take a deep sniff of air to determine if there is a decaying zombie nearby-- or, slightly more likely, to determine if the old take-out food in the back of your fridge is safe to eat it—then you are using biology.Since people have started talking and then writing about zombies these stories have been a reflection of society, and have drawn upon scientific knowledge to make the stores as realistic as possible. So realistic are these stories that they make for excellent educational tools as they both grab your attention and can impart knowledge.Included with your eBook purchase, you will also receive access to KHQ, Kendall Hunt's exclusive custom study app. Designed for today's fast-paced environment, KHQ features chapter quizzes and flashcards that empower students to learn on the go!
