''It made me rethink the roots of our deepest fears and insecurities, and why we often disappoint ourselves in how we manifest them'' Bill Clinton, GuardianWinner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life''s work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker''s brilliant and impassioned answer to the ''why'' of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie - man''s refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. The book argues that human civilisation is a defence against the knowledge that we are mortal beings. Becker states that humans live in both the physical world and a symbolic world of meaning, which is where our ''immortality project'' resides. We create in order to become immortal - to become part of something we believe will last forever. In this way we hope to give our lives meaning.In The Denial of Death, Becker sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates decades after it was written.

In 1912 the unthinkable happened - the supposedly unsinkable Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg, or so it was thought. In this bestselling book author Robin Gardiner claims that it was not in fact the Titanic but the sister ship, the Olympic, which finished its days sinking in the icy waters of the North Atlantic on that fateful night. His contention is that what happened was an insurance scam perpetrated by the White Star line which may have involved the possible collusion by the British government in the cover-up. On 20 September 1911, the Olympic was involved in a collision with the Royal Navy Warship HMS Hawke in Southampton Water. Olympic was found to be to blame in the collision. Because of this finding, White Star''s insurers allegedly refused to pay out on the claim. As this would amount to a serious financial loss for the company, it is alleged that, to make sure at least one vessel would be earning money, the badly damaged Olympic was patched up and then converted to become the Titanic. The real Titanic when complete would then quietly enter service as the Olympic. To dispose of the Olympic, which had allegedly been damaged beyond ... Unknown localization key: "more"

On the night of 14–15 April 1912 RMS Titanic sank with the loss of around 1,500 people after hitting an iceberg. The ship was on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic to New York and it was the world’s worst shipping disaster at that time. The dramatic events surrounding the tragedy have captured the world’s imagination ever since and yet the story covers many more ships than just Titanic itself – from sister ships and tenders bringing out the passengers and mail, to passing ships that warned of ice, the rescue ships that raced to the scene when disaster struck and those who arrived later and collected the bodies of those who lost their lives. Controversy surrounded some ships such as Californian immediately after the disaster and ships such as the Carpathia and Mesaba which ended up becoming shipwrecks themselves many years later. All the ships involved had their own fascinating careers, some serving their country as well as their owners, transporting or evacuating troops in wartime, experiencing collisions and being torpedoed by U-boats and all sailed in an era when today’s safety rules and sophisticated chart data fed by a global positioning system did not exist.Richard M.

The story of the Titanic has been told countless times, but very few books talk in detail about the numerous expeditions that have visited the wreck; even less will talk about the personal stories associated with these underwater trips. Now, for the first time, details are given of some of the less well-known deep diving expeditions to the world’s most famous shipwreck, focusing on the people who lead them, the equipment being used and the background stories of the research vessels that have carried these teams out to the cold, dark Atlantic swells. From the failed expeditions in the early 1980s to the tragic loss of a submersible four decades later, this is the story of the searches and the dives to the wreck of a ship which has become synonymous with disaster. Using interviews with people who were there at different times, we rediscover a shipwreck that has captivated the imagination of people from around the world to the point where they are willing to risk their lives just to have a glimpse. But it is this glimpse of the Titanic that has cost so much money and affected so many lives.

The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons.The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line’s reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star’s infamy.This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers.
