Description

In the fight against zombies, our most important weapons are our brains. It's time to unleash them. Think you know a thing or two about zombies? Think again. If you’re going to keep your wits – and your brains – about you during a zombie attack, you need expert advice. Braaaiiinnnsss!: From Academics to Zombies gathers together an irreverent group of scholars and writers to take a serious look at how zombies threaten almost every aspect of our lives. Spawned from the viral publication "When Zombies Attack!: Mathematical Modelling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection," this multidisciplinary book draws on a variety of fields including biology, history, law, gender studies, archaeology, library science and landscape architecture. Part homage to zombie films and fiction, part cultural study, this collection humorously explores our deep-seated fear of the undead. Engaging and accessible, Braaaiiinnnnssss! will amuse academics and zombie fans alike. Published in English.

Contributor Notes

Stacey Smith? est professeure titulaire à l’Université d’Ottawa.
Non, le point d’interrogation n’est pas une faute de frappe, mais plutôt la façon dont Stacey Smith? se distingue dans le monde des recherches Google. Bien que le nom soit unique en soi, ce sont les recherches de Stacey qui font d’elle une mathématicienne créative et innovante.
La professeure Smith? est connue pour ses recherches dans un domaine imaginaire : les zombies. « En modélisant les zombies, nous en apprenons davantage sur le processus de traitement d’une biologie inconnue », explique Stacey. Stacey approfondit le sujet dans ses livres Braaaiiinnnsss: From Academics to Zombies, et dans Mathematical Modelling of Zombies, tous deux publiés aux Presses de l’Université d’Ottawa.
