How did a show about people trying to survive a world filled with flesh-eating zombies get to be so damn popular? And does television's most beloved gorefest have anything important to say about who we are and what makes us tick, or is it just another mindless action show. (Hint: it's not.) Those are the questions that Dissecting the Walking Dead seeks to answer. Slicing into the origins of the show, gutting each season to reveal its hidden themes and glaring flaws, and cutting into the characters who keep us coming back each week, it's pretension-free criticism written for people who love to talk about the show. Because The Walking Dead may be full of awesome zombie splatter, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a brain.

It's no exaggeration to say that Mad Men helped change television. The show not only established AMC as a bona fide network with some of the best programs on TV, it proved to viewers that television could be as complex, nuanced and literary as any novel. With this remarkable show as its focal point, "Celebrating Mad Men" attempts to poke into the dark corners of Don Draper's mind, peels back the layers of what makes characters like Peggy Olson and Pete Campbell tick, explores why we were so drawn to people like Roger Sterling and Joan Harris, and relives some of the show's greatest moments. Because Mad Men may be gone, but the conversation about it certainly isn't.

Lakehurst, NJ is best known as the site of the Hindenburg disaster and the unofficial ''Airship Capital of the World, '' a place where rigid airships were once common and where one of the most iconic events in history took place. But there is much more to the story than one notable disaster. Located on the northern fringes of New Jersey's Pine Barrens, Lakehurst boasts a past filled with visionary railroad barons, innovative military advances, and quirky residents. For the first time ever, a comprehensive history of this fascinating community is gathered between two covers. From its days as a bog iron community making cannonballs for the American Revolution to its modern status as a bedroom community nestled outside one of the East Coast's largest military bases, Lakehurst: Barrens, Blimps & Barons offers a story of New Jersey triumph and tragedy as told by the people who lived it. Featuring dozens of photos and based in part on a slew of interviews, Barrens, Blimps & Barons will delight railroad aficionados, students of military history, and anyone who has ever had a connection to Lakehurst, Manchester, Toms River, Whiting, or the Pine Barrens.
