Are you thinking about taking a college course this summer? Even if it’s just for fun. If so, I have one for you. Michigan State University will be offering SW290: Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse: Catastrophes & Human Behavior. Here’s a little more information:
Topics in social welfare, social policy, service delivery, research, theory, and practice; basic social worker values and concepts
video preview | DRAFT syllabus | State News article 2/27/12
Zombies are a popular metaphor for apocalypse both in popular culture and mainstream academic pursuits, even being used by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for teaching emergency preparedness. This course uses current research and science on Catastrophes and Human Behavior together with the idea of a Zombie Apocalypse to learn about the nature, scope, and impact of catastrophic events on individuals, families, societies, civilizations, and the Earth itself.
Something tells me you’re not going to learn how to survive the initial Zombie Apocalypse, just the aftermath. After all, I’m not seeing anything about how to decapitate a zombie or any kind of exercise regiment so you can be prepared to outrun said zombies. *grin*
Vicki Pettersson is going on tour! She’s going on a 10 city tour starting June 4th to celebrate the release of her new novel, The Taken. Sadly, she only has one stop east of the Mississippi, but bonus for me it’s in Cincinnati. Looks like I will be visiting my sister for a bit. *grin* If you’re within a decent driving distance of Cincy, you should really think about coming.
Interesting. It seems the Justice Department has decided to get into the debate over ebook prices. According to the Wall Street Journal, the DoJ has sent warnings to Apple Inc and five other publishers of their intent to sue over the possibility that the six have gotten together with the intent of raising ebook prices. This could mean lower ebook prices, but as with everything that deals with the law, we probably won’t see any change any time soon.
RT Book Reviews has found that Melissa de la Cruz will be continuing her Witches of the East End series with three additional books.
