The Bite, the Breast and the Blood

Why Modern Vampire Stories Suck Us In

By: Amy Williams Wilson

Central to every vampire story is the undead's need for human blood, but equally compelling is the human ingestion of vampire blood, which often creates a bond. This blood connection suggests two primal, natural desires: breastfeeding and communion with God through a blood covenant. This analysis of vampire stories explores the benefits of the bonding experiences of breastfeeding and Christian and vampire narratives, arguing that modern readers and viewers are drawn to this genre because of our innate fascination with the relationship between human and maker.

Alzheimer's Disease

Life Course Perspectives on Risk Reduction

By: Amy Borenstein,James Mortimer

Alzheimer's Disease: Lifecourse Perspectives on Risk Reduction summarizes the growing body of knowledge on the distribution and causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in human populations, providing the reader with knowledge on how we define the disease and what its risk and protective factors are in the context of a life-course approach. At the conclusion of the book, the reader will understand why Alzheimer's disease likely begins at conception, then progresses through early-life and adult risk factors that ultimately impact the balance between pathologic insults in the brain and the ability of the brain to modify disease symptoms. In contrast to edited volumes that may have little cohesion, this book focuses on an integrated life-course approach to the epidemiology of dementia, in particular, Alzheimer's disease. - Reviews the current science surrounding Alzheimer's disease - Provides a primer of foundational knowledge on the disease's epidemiology and biostatistics - Utilizes a life-course approach, providing a novel and integrated view of the evolution of this illness from genes to brain reserve - Uses the 'threshold model'—a theory first described by Dr. Mortimer and widely accepted today—which incorporates the idea of risk factors for the pathology and expression of the disease - Proposes that improving brain health through modifiable behaviors can delay disease onset until a later age - Examines the future of prevention of Alzheimer's disease, a subject of great current interest
