cannibalism

Rick and the others face new threats and opportunities, some of which they are unprepared for, but when Rick discovers there are other groups of survivors nearby, he begins to explore the world around him.

Everyone in the community has been impacted by recent events, and some individuals did not survive.

Rick and his group of survivors discover that life within the community they have found in Washington, DC, is not as safe as they hoped, with their new friends not exactly who they appear to be, and danger hiding within the walls.

A collection of original stories, inspired by the "Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children" series, that reveal secrets of peculiar history.

"Eating one's own kind is completely natural behavior in thousands of species, including humans. Throughout history we have engaged in cannibalism for reasons relating to famine, burial rites, and medicinal remedies. Cannibalism has been used as a form of terrorism but also as the ultimate expression of filial piety. With... wit and a wealth of knowledge, Bill Schutt, a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History, takes us on a tour of the field, exploring exciting new avenues of research"--Provided by publisher.

Rick and his group of survivors adjust to the community they found in Washington, DC, but just as they begin to feel more at home they face an attack from outside and within.

"After a devastating encounter with the Whisperers, Rick must rally the communities to take action. But have they already reached their breaking point?"--Amazon.com.

Dr. Roberto Canessa was part of the group that survived the October 13, 1972 crash in the Andes Mountains of the Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying members of the Old Christians rugby team. At the time he was a second-year medical student. He, along with Fernando Parrado, went for help when they realized they were not going to be rescued. They hiked across the Andes Mountains for ten days at an altitude of 16,404 feet and temperatures of twenty-two degrees below zero, and arrived in Chili where they found salvation. Together they guided a rescue party back to their founrteen friends who were still trapped on the mountain two months after the initial search for the crash had been called off. Dr. Caness went on to become a pediatric cardiologist, world-renowned for his work with newborn patients and prenatal echocardiography at the Hospital Italiano of Montevideo.

A survivor of the horrific 1972 plane crash that stranded his rugby team in the Andes for seventy-two days provides his account of the ordeal and of his desperate expedition across seventy miles of frozen wilderness to find help.

An astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality.
