Hardcover. Condition: new. Powell, Eric (illustrator). Hardcover. He Studied Murder And Nearly Killed the Comics Industry!From the team behind the award-winning "Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?" comes a nonfiction graphic novel examining Dr. Fredric Wertham, of one of the most polarizing figures in pop culture history.He Studied Murder And Nearly Killed the Comics Industry!From the team behind the award-winning "Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?" comes a nonfiction graphic novel examining Dr. Fredric Wertham, of one of the most polarizing figures in pop culture history.Wertham wrote Seduction of the Innocent (1954), asserting that comic books were a cause of juvenile delinquency. His testimony before Congress about the supposed dangers of comics helped lead to the creation of the Comics Code Authority, and to Wertham being reviled by comic book fans as a witch-hunting zealot who stirred up a panic among parents for his own self-promoting purposes.Wertham was also a renowned psychiatrist who, among other accomplishments, opened a clinic in Harlem for disadvantaged African-American patients and played an important role in the desegregation of the nation's schools.Believing that murder could be abolished through a proper understanding of the mental and social roots of criminal violence, he took a genuinely humane approach to some of the most notorious homicidal maniacs of his time, while simultaneously exploiting their stories for his own commercial ends.Acclaimed true crime author, Harold Schechter, and multiple Eisner award-winning cartoonist, Eric Powell, present a graphic novel that takes an unbiased look at this flawed and complex man, whose obsessive dream of freeing the world from violence nearly murdered the comics industry.Featured in Booklist's Top 10 Graphic Biographies & Memoirs- 2025!"Brutal, beautiful, and brilliant."-Matt Fraction (Hawkeye)"A compelling biography that challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions and poses provocative questions about censorship and the influence of popular culture.a rich, layered portrait of a man commonly viewed as a villain.

Hardcover. Condition: gut. This text provides an introduction to a wide range of topics in analysis including set theory and mathematical logic; algebra; toplogy; normed spaces; integration theory; toplogical vector spaces; and differential equations.Handbook of Analysis and Its Foundations is a self-contained and unified handbook on mathematical analysis and its foundations. Intended as a self-study guide for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduatestudents in mathematics and a reference for more advanced mathematicians, this highly readable book provides broader coverage than competing texts in the area. Handbook of Analysis and Its Foundations provides an introduction to a wide range of topics, including: algebra; topology; normed spaces; integration theory; topological vector spaces; and differential equations. The author effectively demonstrates the relationships between these topics and includes a few chapters on set theory and logic to explain the lack of examples for classical pathological objects whose existence proofs are not constructive. More complete than any other book on the subject, students will find this to be an invaluable handbook. "This is quite a book! From the table of contents, it would appear to include just about everything one would want to know about the foundations of analysis. It is well-organized and the exposition in the sample chapters is quite good - clear, concise, and relatively easy to read. It is very good technically, the author knows what he is talking about." --George L.

He is currently Associate Professor at Vanderbilt University, and has also taught at Duke University. Schechters research focuses on differential equations, fixed point theory, and the Axiom of Choice. He currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife, Elvira Casal, and his two children.
