Description of What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions (English)(Paperback) by Randall Munroe

From the creator of the wildly popular xkcd.com, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask.

Millions visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. Fans ask him a lot of strange questions: How fast can you hit a speed bump, driving, and live? When (if ever) did the sun go down on the British Empire? When will Facebook contain more profiles of dead people than living? How many humans would a T Rex rampaging through New York need to eat a day?

In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations and consults nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.

Description of The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes (New Edition) : Preludes & Nocturnes (Volume - 1) by Neil Gaiman Sam Keith

When a dark magician tries to gain immortality by summoning Death, he makes a big mistake. Instead, he summons Death's younger brother, Dream. The magician fears that he will have to pay a price for his blasphemy, so he imprisons Dream and takes away his totems of power. Years later, Morpheus, the being known as Dream, manages to escape, damning his captor to an eternal sleep filled with nightmares. Now free, Dream returns to his world, and he begins hunting down his totems. He needs to track down those who pilfered them and make them pay for their betrayal. The world has changed in his absence and he must regain control over his realm, or the balance of the universe will be at stake. Dream is depressed at his loss of control, but he is not alone in his consolation. His elder sister comes to talk him out of his depression, and she talks of the changes in the world in the decades of his absence. However, how would a person feel about life when Death is his older sister?

The Very Best Of The Common Man is a compilation of some of the most memorable cartoons featuring cartoonist R. K. Laxman's inimitable creation, the character known as The Common Man.

Summary Of The Book

The Very Best Of The Common Man is a tribute to one of India's best-loved cartoonists, R. K. Laxman. It presents a collection of some of Laxman's cartoons based on The Common Man, a character that appeared in Laxman's daily cartoon strip (titled You Said It) for the Times of India publication.

The Common Man, an average man representing the hopes and fears of the masses in India, remains one of the best characters in the history of Indian cartooning and illustration. He is depicted as a silent witness to all the socio-political happenings that are presented in the cartoons.

Through the Common Man cartoons, Laxman explores every aspect of living in contemporary India. From political instability to economic crises, from the deeply entrenched corruption to the woes of householders, Laxman portrays exactly what it means to live and experience the real India.

The book presents some of the best cartoons featuring The Common Man in all his mute glory.

This edition of The Very Best Of The Common Man was published in 2012 by Penguin India.

Watchmen(Paperback) by Alan Moore

Descriptions of Watchmen(Paperback) by Alan Moore
Has any comic been as lauded as Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen? Possibly only Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns but Watchmen remains the critics' favourite. Why? Because Moore is a better writer, and Watchmen a more complex and dark and literate creation than Miller's fantastic, subversive take on the Batman myth. Moore, renowned for many other of the genre's finest creations (Saga of the Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, and recently From Hell, with Eddie Campbell) first put out Watchmen in 12 issues for DC in 1986-87. It won a comic award at the time (the 1987 Jack Kirby Comics Industry Awards for Best Writer/Artist combination) and has continued to garner praise since.

The story concerns a group called the Crimebusters and a plot to kill and discredit them. Moore's characterisation is as sophisticated as any novel's. Importantly the costumes do not get in the way of the storytelling, rather they allow Moore to investigate issues of power and control--indeed it was Watchmen, and to a lesser extent Dark Knight, that propelled the comic genre forward, making "adult" comics a reality. The artwork of Gibbons (best known for 2000AD's Rogue Trooper and DC's Green Lantern) is very fine too, echoing Moore's paranoid mood perfectly throughout. Packed with symbolism, some of the overlying themes (arms control, nuclear threat, vigilantes) have dated but the intelligent social and political commentary, the structure of the story itself, its intertextuality (chapters appended with excerpts from other "works" and "studies" on Moore's characters, or with excerpts from another comic book being read by a child within the story), the fine pace of the writing and its humanity mean that Watchmen more than stands up--it retains its crown as the best the genre has yet produced. --Mark Thwaite
