The Handbook of Zombie Forensics and Medicine: A New Theory of Zombiology and Why Humans Will (Probably) Survive the Apocalypse

by Darin L. Wolfe

Could the zombie apocalypse really happen? The Handbook of Zombie Medicine and Forensics examines such topics as what could cause the zombie disease, how long a zombie might live after conversion and even the best methods that can be used to 'neutralize' (kill) the zombies without spreading infection. Dr. Darin L. Wolfe, MD, a board certified forensic pathologist, draws on his more than 15 years in pathology and thousands of autopsies to analyze the zombie through a scientific lens. The specifics of human decomposition, anatomy, physiology and microbiology are applied to the problem of zombies to reveal a new theory in zombiology. In the new zombiology, zombies are classified into subtypes based on those that resurrect supernaturally (are clinically dead) and those that are governed by the laws of the physical world and may result from a pathogen or chemical (are not clinically dead). The book is anchored in reality by actual anecdotes from Dr. Wolfe's medical school and forensics experience and through this work of zombie analysis, the reader will learn about topics such as anatomy, physiology, infectious disease, decomposition, gun ballistics and other weapon-related injuries. Ultimately, the book concludes with a thesis on why and how humans will (probably) survive any zombie apocalypse.
