It's real, and it's happening all around us, from wasps and crickets to dogs and moose--and even humans. In Plight of the Living Dead, science journalist Matt Simon documents his journey through the bizarre science of real-life mind control. Along the way, he visits a lab littered with the corpses of zombie ants, joins the search for kamikaze crickets in the hills of New Mexico, and travels to Israel to meet the wasp that stings cockroaches in the brain before leading them to their doom. A madcap, brain-bending journey into an exhilarating new frontier of neuroscience, Plight of the Living Dead shows us that nothing Hollywood dreams up can match the horrific zombies that evolution has produced time and time again. 000850535 650_0 $$aParasites. 000850535 650_0 $$aPredation (Biology) 000850535 650_0 $$aParasitism. 000850535 650_0 $$aHost-parasite relationships. 000850535 85200 $$bgen$$hQL757$$i.S48$$i2018 000850535 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:850535$$pGLOBAL_SET 000850535 980__ $$aBIB 000850535 980__ $$aBOOK
