Walking Deadheads. Either you are one or you know one. Now in its seventh season, "The Walking Dead" has gone from cult hit to cultural movement and has now achieved the status of appointment television.

Now, in an all-new collector's edition, Entertainment Weekly takes readers into the writing room, behind the scenes and onto the sets in The Ultimate Guide to The Walking Dead. Go inside each season with exclusive photographs, interviews with the cast and crew, a season-by-season recap, as well as original art that traces the journey of survivors in the series, created by the artists who draw The Walking Dead comic books. Additionally, this collector's edition has two front covers, one of the living, and one of the undead (you should probably collect them both!). With exclusive insights into season 7, special sidebars, as well as an original essay on Why We Love Zombies, The Ultimate Guide to The Walking Dead is the drop un-dead companion to one of the hottest shows on television today.

Endless Universe
Author: Paul J. Steinhardt
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0385523114
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Two world-renowned scientists present an audacious new vision of the cosmos that “steals the thunder from the Big Bang theory.” —Wall Street Journal The Big Bang theory—widely regarded as the leading explanation for the origin of the universe—posits that space and time sprang into being about 14 billion years ago in a hot, expanding fireball of nearly infinite density. Over the last three decades the theory has been repeatedly revised to address such issues as how galaxies and stars first formed and why the expansion of the universe is speeding up today. Furthermore, an explanation has yet to be found for what caused the Big Bang in the first place. In Endless Universe, Paul J. Steinhardt and Neil Turok, both distinguished theoretical physicists, present a bold new cosmology. Steinhardt and Turok “contend that what we think of as the moment of creation was simply part of an infinite cycle of titanic collisions between our universe and a parallel world” (Discover). They recount the remarkable developments in astronomy, particle physics, and superstring theory that form the basis for their groundbreaking “Cyclic Universe” theory. According to this theory, the Big Bang was not the beginning of time but the bridge to a past filled with endlessly repeating cycles of evolution, each accompanied by the creation of new matter and the formation of new galaxies, stars, and planets. Endless Universe provides answers to longstanding problems with the Big Bang model, while offering a provocative new view of both the past and the future of the cosmos. It is a “theory that could solve the cosmic mystery” (USA Today).
