    By Ken Silverstein
    5 stars

    The true story of David Hahn and how armed only with an outdated physics book he built a small nuclear reactor in his suburban backyard . In the process he turned his Mom's backyard into an EPA Superfund hazardous waste site. His story would have been buried by the authorities (no pun intended) if it hadn't been for the author, an investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times.

  • Completely MAD - A History of the Comic Book and Magazine

    By Maria Reidelbach

    "What, Me Worry?" MAD Magazine started in 1952 by William Gaines. Almost killed by censorship at its beginning, it grew to become one of the most influential and iconic magazines of the 1960s and 1970s. This is a thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated book that is an amazing read.
