5.0 �toiles sur 5 A New Favorite Book on the Titanic 15 janvier 2012

Par Craig R Stafford - Publi� sur Amazon.com

Format:Format Kindle

A new favorite book of mine about The Titanic! I have read so very much on this tragedy over the years. Could I possibly read yet another book on it? I truly wanted to, with the 100th anniversary coming up this April 2012.

The incidents surrounding Titanic's lifespan are certainly legendary. Like all things legendary, fiction springs from fact; tales surrounding it become urban legend --- and fiction and facts entwine. Clarity becomes muddled --- so much so, that after awhile, it does become a bit confusing keeping it clearly in focus. That is why Tim Maltin's book was spot-on for me. In a casual, concise, straight-forward style, he tackles 101 facts, fictions, and confusions about Titanic. I can honestly say that by reading this, I deepened my knowledge on the facts I understood to be true; cleared up more than a few fictions that had entered my brain (thanks, Hollywood); and enjoyed some of the more urban legend elements that I had not encountered before. I never felt like I was reading a lecture. Maltin engaged and easily held my interest from first page to last.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is a wonderful addition to my Titanic library.

Best of all, this would make an outstanding gift for anyone, regardless of their level of knowledge on the Titanic. It is a fantastic read for novices and armchair experts and would be appreciated by anyone with a passion and interest in Titanic. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WITHOUT ANY RESERVATIONS.

5.0 �toiles sur 5 Don't get your history from the Movie's get it from the eye witness' 16 mars 2012

Par Curtis A. Cecil - Publi� sur Amazon.com

Format:Broch�

I received the book, 101 Things You Thought You Knew About the Titanic by Tim Maltin, as an ebook from the publisher Penguin Books.

As you all know I am a history buff... I LOVE HISTORY! I am the only person you know who not only has Usher's Annuals of World History but who has read almost the entire thing... (If you don't know what that is...)

Anyways, I loved this book. With the anniversary of the fateful trip upon us, I was intrigued. I still remember a neighbor who had the newspaper from that day. She had been 12 at the time, and she told me what it was like to hear that news personally. So I couldn't wait to look at this book. I was amazed at many of the items that are commonly believed about the sinking of the Titanic that are FALSEHOODS or rumors that were propagated early on before the truth made it out.

For example, many of you have heard that they had too FEW life boats to code, when in actuality they had as many as they should via the code of the day. What about the claim that the Christening of the boat with the bottle of Champagne that didn't break?? WRONG!! Or that just like in the movie the Irish immigrants were locked down stairs.. WRONG!!!

This book takes the details from a inquiry trial that took place with all involved and the survivors and details their answers and responses...

Here is what the publisher had to say...

Ever since that night, fact has merged with fiction about what really happened. Now, for the first time, Titanic expert and author Tim Maltin gathers together all the key elements surrounding the disaster and presents a fascinating, compulsive and accurate account of what really happened. Taking as his lead one hundred and one oft-quoted theories about the fateful night, Maltin uses eyewitness testimony to rigorously examine each one in chronological order, and in so doing tells the true story of the Titanic and the night she sank with the loss of 1,500 lives.

So If you are interested in truth, and half truths this is a GREAT book for you!

My 10 year old wanted to read a book about the Titanic but all of the books we found were too simplistic or too involved for her. This one had just the right amount of information. She liked reading facts about the Tttanic without getting bogged down in the wording. I recommend it if you're looking for an easy read.
