Doomed Ships: Great Ocean Liner Disasters (Dover Maritime Books)

4 reviews
William H., Jr. Miller

Dover Publications, 2006

Beyond The "Titanic"
Noted nautical author Bill Miller has written a new and very fascinating book on doomed ocean liners. Quite wisely he elected to skip the "Titanic" tragedy as it has been so well covered in many other books. He elected to start the book with the sinking of the "Lusitania" on May 7, 1915, by a German submarine, the "U-20." It ends with the capsizing of the "Oriana" at her berth in China during a ...

Bantam, 1982

The story of the Sacketts is continued in "The Sky-Liners"
Flagan and Galloway are not only brothers, they are Sacketts. After crossing paths with Black Fetchen and coming out of the ordeal alive, they knew it was best to keep away from him. But when they are asked to escort young and pretty Judith Costello to her father's ranch, they couldn't refuse. Unfortunately, Black Fetchen has had his eye on Judith for a while and wants to marry her. Judith being ...

Dover Publications, 2003

A great photographic record of the SS United States
This book contains a great collection of finely-reproduced black and white photographs and historical summaries of American passenger liners dating back to the Leviathan. Over half of the 100-plus pages are devoted entirely to the SS United States and include many magnificent photos of the ship under construction and in service during the 1950's and 60's. The photos and stories of the other ships ...

Decked (Regan Reilly Mysteries, No. 1)

Carol Higgins Clark

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

AN INCREDIBLE PLOT; HIGH FUN
I, for one, am getting just a bit peeved at those who think CHC's books are amatuerish and undeserving of publishing. Let us consider for a moment a woman writer--a woman mystery writer--whose books are outsold only by the bible. That's right, Agatha Christie. Let us compare the two. What was AC best known for? Well, it sure as hell wasn't character development. You couldn't tell Poirot from ...

Pat Williams

HCI, 2002

The best!
I bought three books that all just arrived. I laughed more in the first ten pages of this book than in the other two joke books combined. Plus, most the jokes are only one or two sentences. The jokes are so funny and so short they're a breeze to memorize. This is the book I've been searching for!

Inside Out: Strategies for Teaching Writing, 3/e

2 reviews
Tom Liner, Dawn Latta Kirby, ...

Heinemann, 2003

This is a great teaching resource
Inside Out is a required text for one of my classes, but, unlike most textbooks, it is easy to read and topical. Kirby provides detailed lesson ideas for a variety of writing genres, from term papers to reflection. He uses quotes from students and teachers. This personal approach makes the lessons come to life. Inside Out is a valuable resource for teachers from middle school through college.

Last Dinner On the Titanic: Menus and Recipes from the Great Liner

26 reviews
Rick Archbold, Dana McCauley

Hyperion, 1997

A social history snapshot that just happens to be a cookbook
After almost 100 years, the Titanic disaster continues to fascinate historians and the general public. The snapshot of Edwardian culture is nowhere more apparent than the famous "last meal" that Sunday. Thanks to menus kept by survivors as mementos, and some indepth research, Mr. Archbold has written up the dishes served in all three classes as recipes that, theoretically at least, anyone can ...

Comedy Comes Clean: A Hilarious Collection of Wholesome Jokes, Quotes, and One-Liners

15 reviews
Adam Christing

Three Rivers Press, 1996

Good clean fun
I am generally pretty skeptical of clean humor. Sometimes it seems in our society that comedy is either very unclean or incredibly stupid clean humor which are just one "groaner" after another. This is definitely not the case with this book. I enjoyed the wide range of subjects that were discussed as well as the variety of contributors who ranged from Jerry Seinfeld to Henry Kissinger. This ...

W. W. Norton, 2007

An Inspiring Book
Thank you Mr. Maxtone-Graham for this eagerly anticipated tome for my collection. When you first told me of it's imminent release, during a QE2 crossing almost two years ago, I've been on pins and needles. It's been one of the highlights of my season, and I'm not at all disappointed. I received the book before lunchtime and listened to my hunger pangs as I turned each page unable to put it ...

Dover Publications, 1984

William H. Miller Does it Again
Can I say enough about William H. Miller's expertice and knowledge? This book, along with the other three in this set, are amazing. With well thought-out linear notes on each ship, and wonderful interior and exterior pictures, this book is, needless to say, the most used in my collection! I particularly enjoy this book because it depicts the era I am most interested in, the turn of the century. ...

William H., Jr. Miller

Dover Publications, 1985

Live the past...
...through the wonderful pictures in this resource. The book includes photos from beloved ocean liners throughout the 20th century. For those of us too young to experience more of the golden era of ocean travel than the Queen Mary, this is a great way to catch up vicariously.

The History Press, 2008

Must-have for Anyone Interested in "Titanic"
Have you ever wondered what the "Titanic" may have looked like from within? Have you wondered what lay beyond the riveted steel plates of the "Ship of Dreams?"

If you've pondered any of these questions, then "Titanic: The Ship Magnificent" is most definitely the book for you! This two volume series ...

Sandpiper, 1996

SOS TITANIC
SOS Titanic is a great, quick read if you enjoy books about the Titanic. It was written by Eve Bunting. It gave me mixed emotions because I knew that the ship was going to sink, but I did not know which characters were going to die. I would give this book a five star rating. This is a great story about survival and a test to see who your true friens are. Should Barry,the main character, try ...

In this book, Samantha is invited to accompany her grandmother and the Admiral on a cruise from New York to London! Along the way, Samantha has adventures, meets new people, and learns a lot.

Brian Coleman

Villard, 2007

Great Book!
This is a great book for all hip hop junkies. There is a lot of information on how groups were formed, and stories behind all. I got this book, because I'm big on hip hop. I wanted to do some reading on the history of all the great hip hop legends that you don't hear much of nowadays. I really recommend this book for anyone who's into the old school underground hip hop. You'll love it!
