When it comes to connections, nothing does it better than blood.
Silently and unseen, blood relentlessly performs its tasks within our bodies.
But it doesn’t stop there, blood is identified with other functions that stretch into community, heritage, and even further into surprising places.
This small book explores these places and will take you on a fascinating journey from blood groups to blood-lines, by way of DNA, curses, clots, circumcision and the circulatory system and the various ways that blood can be lost, from murder and vampires and the world of leeches to the blood sacrifice.
Bringing it all together though , on so many levels, is the connective power of blood, the River of Life.
Blood is part of the ‘Life Series’. Look out for the other titles in the series, ‘Water’, and ‘Bread’.
