Zombie Apocalypse by Macenzie Guiver Pdf

Zombies are everywhere today and to most people they are something out of scary stories like vampires or werewolves, no more real than Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. But are we dismissing these blood-thirsty monsters at our peril? According to several scientists who have taken on the task of proving or disproving the possibility of zombies, while it is possible that some previously unknown disease could cause symptoms similar to those associated with pop-culture zombies (a mutated disease similar to rabies perhaps), it is also unlikely. But the actual disaster behind a zombie apocalypse, a deadly global pandemic, is not only possible, it is highly probable. In “Zombie Apocalypse: The Prepper's Guide to Pandemic Outbreak, Quarantine, and Zombie Fallout” #1 Best Selling author Macenzie Guiver shows you how it's happened many times before and why it is likely to happen again during our lifetime. Whether the threat comes from a zombie disease or some errant strain of influenza, the threat of pandemic is real and it is something that every family must be prepared to handle in order to survive. When the 1918 Spanish Flu swept around the globe, entire families and neighborhoods were wiped out. Nearly 30% of the population of the planet were infected as many as 5.5% of the world's inhabitants died as a result (That's more than 1 in every 20 people dead – planet-wide). When the next pandemic comes, the only way to ensure the safety and survival of your family is to prepare now. “Zombie Apocalypse” will help you: • Understand how pandemics happen, and why we're likely to have another one in your lifetime • Learn important lessons from past pandemics, and how some of the ones in the recent past make a Zombie outbreak look like child's play • Know what to expect in the days and weeks following a major outbreak, there's more than just the usual “prepper” stuff to worry about here • Determine what to do now to be ready, whether it's Zombies, or an uber-deadly new strain of the flu virus there are some common steps to take for this type of “end of the world as we know it” scenario • Create a pandemic preparedness plan for your family and practice it. Using the Zombie angle to create your practice scenarios can add a bit of fun to an otherwise difficult and hard-to-wrap-your-head-around prepping topic From providing an understanding of how pandemics progress from Patient Zero to global catastrophe to explaining how a global pandemic will affect the society around us, this guide provides prepping families with the perspective, information, and planning steps they need to be ready to survive the next pandemic, even if that means fighting off zombies in order to do so!

Human Extinction and the Pandemic Imaginary by Christos Lynteris Pdf

This book develops an examination and critique of human extinction as a result of the ‘next pandemic’ and turns attention towards the role of pandemic catastrophe in the renegotiation of what it means to be human. Nested in debates in anthropology, philosophy, social theory and global health, the book argues that fear of and fascination with the ‘next pandemic’ stem not so much from an anticipation of a biological extinction of the human species, as from an expectation of the loss of mastery over human/non-humanl relations. Christos Lynteris employs the notion of the ‘pandemic imaginary’ in order to understand the way in which pandemic-borne human extinction refashions our understanding of humanity and its place in the world. The book challenges us to think how cosmological, aesthetic, ontological and political aspects of pandemic catastrophe are intertwined. The chapters examine the vital entanglement of epidemiological studies, popular culture, modes of scientific visualisation, and pandemic preparedness campaigns. This volume will be relevant for scholars and advanced students of anthropology as well as global health, and for many others interested in catastrophe, the ‘end of the world’ and the (post)apocalyptic.

The Paranormal and Popular Culture by Darryl Caterine,John W. Morehead Pdf

Interest in preternatural and supernatural themes has revitalized the Gothic tale, renewed explorations of psychic powers and given rise to a host of social and religious movements based upon claims of the fantastical. And yet, in spite of this widespread enthusiasm, the academic world has been slow to study this development. This volume rectifies this gap in current scholarship by serving as an interdisciplinary overview of the relationship of the paranormal to the artefacts of mass media (e.g. novels, comic books, and films) as well as the cultural practices they inspire. After an introduction analyzing the paranormal’s relationship to religion and entertainment, the book presents essays exploring its spiritual significance in a postmodern society; its (post)modern representation in literature and film; and its embodiment in a number of contemporary cultural practices. Contributors from a number of discplines and cultural contexts address issues such as the shamanistic aspects of Batman and lesbianism in vampire mythology. Covering many aspects of the paranormal and its effect on popular culture, this book is an important statement in the field. As such, it will be of utmost interest to scholars of religious studies as well as media, communication, and cultural studies.

Training for Catastrophe by Lindsay Thomas Pdf

A timely, politically savvy examination of how impossible disasters shape the very real possibilities of our world Why would the normally buttoned-down national security state imagine lurid future scenarios like a zombie apocalypse? In Training for Catastrophe, author Lindsay Thomas shows how our security regime reimagines plausibility to focus on unlikely and even unreal events rather than probable ones. With an in-depth focus on preparedness (a pivotal, emergent national security paradigm since 9/11) she explores how fiction shapes national security. Thomas finds fiction at work in unexpected settings, from policy documents and workplace training manuals to comics and video games. Through these texts—as well as plenty of science fiction—she examines the philosophy of preparedness, interrogating the roots of why it asks us to treat explicitly fictional events as real. Thomas connects this philosophical underpinning to how preparedness plays out in contemporary politics, emphasizing how it uses aesthetic elements like realism, genre, character, and plot to train people both to regard some disasters as normal and to ignore others. Training for Catastrophe makes an important case for how these documents elicit consent and compliance. Thomas draws from a huge archive of texts—including a Centers for Disease Control comic about a zombie apocalypse, the work of Audre Lorde, and the political thrillers of former national security advisor Richard Clarke—to ask difficult questions about the uses and values of fiction. A major statement on how national security intrudes into questions of art and life, Training for Catastrophe is a timely intervention into how we confront disasters.

Theories of International Politics and Zombies by Daniel W. Drezner Pdf

How international relations theory can be applied to a zombie invasion What would happen to international politics if the dead rose from the grave and started to eat the living? Daniel Drezner’s groundbreaking book answers the question that other international relations scholars have been too scared to ask. Addressing timely issues with analytical bite, Drezner looks at how well-known theories from international relations might be applied to a war with zombies. Exploring the plots of popular zombie films, songs, and books, Theories of International Politics and Zombies predicts realistic scenarios for the political stage in the face of a zombie threat and considers how valid—or how rotten—such scenarios might be. With worldwide calamity feeling ever closer, this new apocalyptic edition includes updates throughout as well as a new chapter on postcolonial perspectives.
