TOTALLY MAD
MAD MAGAZINE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
For the past 60 years, MAD Magazine has been keenly surveying the American landscape and making fun of
everything it sees. “The Usual Gang of Idiots,” as their writers and artists have long called themselve, brilliantly
satirize politics, celebrities, movies, television, advertising, music and more. Totally Mad is a celebration of this
cultural touchstone.

THE TOWER: AN EPIC HISTORY OF THE TOWER OF LONDON
JONES, NIGEL
Castle, royal palace, prison, torture chamber, execution site, zoo, mint, home to the crown jewels, armory, record
office, observatory, and the most visited tourist attraction in the UK: The Tower of London has been all these
things and more. No building in Britain has been more intimately involved in the island's story than this mighty,
brooding stronghold in the very heart of the capital, a place which has stood at the epicenter of dramatic, bloody
and frequently cruel events for almost a thousand years. Now historian Nigel Jones sets this dramatic story
firmly in the context of national—and international—events. In a gripping account drawn from primary sources
and lavishly illustrated with sixteen pages of stunning photographs, he captures the Tower in its many changing
moods and its many diverse functions. Here, for he first time, is a thematic portrayal of the Tower of london not
just as an ancient structure, but as a living symbol of the nation of Great Britain.
