Book Description
“Seeing Mad” is an illustrated volume of scholarly essays about the popular and influential humor magazine Mad, with topics ranging across its 65-year history—up to last summer’s downsizing announcement that Mad will publish less new material and will be sold only in comic book shops. Mad magazine stands near the heart of post-WWII American humor, but at the periphery in scholarly recognition from American cultural historians, including humor specialists. This book fills that gap, with perceptive, informed, engaging, but also funny essays by a variety of scholars. The chapters, written by experts on humor, comics, and popular culture, cover the genesis of Mad; its editors and prominent contributors; its regular features and departments and standout examples of their contents; perspectives on its cultural and political significance; and its enduring legacy in American culture.

Book Description
"Why is it that people have so much to say these days, but can'™t find the right words?" This novel starts with Ulla Berke'wicz this question, and it's all her novel journey through this work to find "˜right words" to say what needs to be said so urgently. This book part detached reflection, part intimately personal memoir and in this sense a novel - is a deeply disturbing exercise to grasp the experience of terror at a personal as well as the collective plane. Here the author seeks to probe the cultural make up of the mind of fanatics with sympathy, yet without compromising her own moral standards. Fall of the twin towers on 9/11 has made the question of understanding the dynamics of fanaticism to the western world.
