A scientific investigation and personal adventure story about zombis and the voudoun culture of Haiti by a Harvard scientist.

In April 1982, ethnobotanist Wade Davis arrived in Haiti to investigate two documented cases of zombis--people who had reappeared in Haitian society years after they had been officially declared dead and had been buried. Drawn into a netherworld of rituals and celebrations, Davis penetrated the vodoun mystique deeply enough to place zombification in its proper context within vodoun culture. In the course of his investigation, Davis came to realize that the story of vodoun is the history of Haiti--from the African origins of its people to the successful Haitian independence movement, down to the present day, where vodoun culture is, in effect, the government of Haiti's countryside.

The Serpent and the Rainbow combines anthropological investigation with a remarkable personal adventure to illuminate and finally explain a phenomenon that has long fascinated Americans.

A Durable and Convenient Protection Solution
Color: Green Orange
One of the most impressive attributes of these cases is their lightweight yet durable construction. The material feels robust and dependable, shielding my device from scratches, minor impacts, and everyday wear and tear. Despite this durability, the cases remain slim and non-bulky, preserving the device's original profile—a feature I deeply appreciate for maintaining portability and elegance. Another commendable aspect is the precise fit of the cases. Each case snugly wraps around the device, ensuring a secure grip and seamless alignment with buttons, ports, and camera cutouts. This level of precision adds to the ease of use and demonstrates a high attention to detail in the manufacturing process. Additionally, having two cases in one pack offers excellent value. It allows you to switch between them as needed or have a backup readily available. This small yet thoughtful feature adds a layer of convenience that sets this product apart from other single-case offerings.

Fits great
Color: Green
After my grandson keep bee lining for the remote, dropped it, which made a teeny chip in it-I decided to try a cover! This is really nice. It fits great. It has a nice grippy feel to it and now it's protected. We bought the lime green one, so now we can find it a lot easier as well as having it looking pretty sleek. It a great cover.

Much better fitting
Color: White
Had to buy 2 of these cases because the first one was so well done. I bought another brand and it was such a loose fit. These are awesome!

As advertised
Color: Green Orange
Did exactly what they needed. Made the remote slightly larger so it is easier to use and less slippery.

Pretty good...
Color: Red
Red color is kind of an orange-red. Hm... Came with some kind of dust on it. Once cleaned off it's not as slippery, yet still slips on just fine. Protects the remote - and your hands from the remote's hard edges. The raised bumps on the back make it easier to pickup - without digging your fingernails into cushions or carpets as you "scoop."
