Flesh and Blood by Reay Tannahill Stein & Day:London 1985. Paperback. 358 pages . Good Used Condition. This hard to find book follows the history and literary aspects of the most taboo eating derivation humankind can think of: cannibalism. It has been practiced in many cultures for thousands of years in almost every preiod of human history. Hunger is only one of the incentives for cannibalism, there's also religion, revenge, justice and war. One review of the book tells: The book is very expansive in what it covers. Recently, the hypothesis that no culture consistently participated in the commonplace cannibalistic acts, but did so only ceremonially/religiously. The book highlights the fact that famine drove many people to adopt temporary cannibalistic acts, and thus has some excellent first person quotes of the starvation induced depravity. Between cataloging these two aspects it becomes apparent that cannibalism is a part of the human condition, be it through transmogrification at church, stories of how bad it is somewhere else, or the newest zombie/vampire craze. KEYWORDS - history, psychology, vampires, vampire, ritual, rituals, CONDITION- There is some yellowing to the pages and a small mark to the top corner of the front page where the price sticker once was.
