Bryan Sisson is an applied anthropologist from Texas. He received his master's degree in 2007 from the University of North Texas. Since the first publication of Peribology in 2013, he has received honors for his books in 2017 from the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards. He also presented a poster depicting pain identification post trauma at a medical conference of the International Brain Injury Association in The Hague, Netherlands. Currently, his focus is on portraying the life story of an ancestor who fought on the Union side in the American Civil War and was taken prisoner of war by the Confederacy, which he survived. The first chapters focus on the identity of his wife as a result of the congress and provide further development towards the losses caused by the pandemics of mumps, measles, and rubella. The truth is told through the qualitative research of the first time Americans were encouraged to take vaccines around the onset of the perturbation.
In this at times ununderstandable era of technology and confusing medical advances, research gathers vast amounts of quantitative information about the causes and symptoms of different styles of brain injuries that induce plethoras of problems for many. This book is an ethnographically valid exposition through which I hope others will be able to better understand the inner thought processes of those who have suffered severe head injuries. By sharing countless, frankly straightforward examples from my personal ethnography of fifteen years of dealing with a closed head injury, I want to give hope to survivors and their families. Craniama's message is not only for gloomy investigations of the traumatic psyche, but preventative analysis towards celebration!
After all, only through the natural integrity of survival can consciousness be objectively realized by the individual. Recovery is rarely easy, but when you can, do not be afraid to wake up again! I am convinced that the medical community will help the families of the injured at this time. For now, here is my roadmap for the first five years after the return of consciousness for those who want to know more, right now.
