The concept of this book is quite ambitious, but well done. A thought provoking socio- anthropological account of how the many nations and people of the world got to be where they are today.

This is the book that caused Salman Rushdie to go into hiding. Controversy and blasphemy aside, this book creates visually rich and imaginative imagery. You'll be mesmerized from beginning to end.

One thing that sucks about zombie movies is that they end. They're also few and far between these days.

That's where Robert Kirkman agrees with us. Writer of The Walking Dead comic series, he wanted to explore the long-term affects of a zombie outbreak on people. How would we adapt? Could we handle the psychological trauma? What about raising children in a post apocalyptic world? The story covers all these issues and more - It's truly suspenseful.
As a bonus the hardcover volumes often feature added commentary by Kirkman as well as unused cover art.

Not only is it entertaining, it reinforces the idea that during the zombie outbreak, it's not just the zombies we need to watch out for - but each other. (via amazon)

I recommend this book for anyone who thinks Science and Theology can't share the same plate. A look into one of the greatest minds in Physics and his personal conception of a higher power.
