Konsten att skapa en zombie

Seit tausenden von Jahren versuchen wir Mittel und Wege zu finden, Körper und Geist unserer Mitmenschen zu beeinflussen und zu kontrollieren. Von giftigem Honig, der ganze Armeen niederstrecken kann bis zu den Voodoo-Zaubern auf Haiti – Frank Swain erzählt ebenso fundiert wie mitreißend wahre Geschichten aus der Wissenschaft. Von Hundeköpfen, die ohne ihre Körper zum Leben erweckt werden, von Geheimgesellschaften, die tief in die Psyche des Menschen vordringen, mit dem Wunsch, den Tod zu überlisten. Und von Parasiten, die ihren Wirt so beeinflussen können, dass er zu Suizid oder zur Geschlechtsumwandlung getrieben werden kann.

Schaurig-schöne Geschichten aus der Wissenschaft
