Sinopsis

"Ships Grounded" explores the captivating world of maritime disasters, focusing on the historical and environmental factors behind shipwrecks. It examines how human ambition, unpredictable weather, and navigational challenges have led to vessels meeting their demise on treacherous shores. Each shipwreck is presented as a tangible artifact, offering insights into past maritime practices, technological advancements, and the complex relationship between humanity and the sea.

 
The book is structured into sections that build upon each other, beginning with an introduction to naval architecture and maritime navigation. It then progresses into case studies of specific geographical regions and eras, analyzing significant groundings and the circumstances surrounding them.

 
The book uniquely connects these historical events to modern-day challenges, such as environmental preservation and the sustainable management of coastal resources, emphasizing the importance of learning from maritime tragedies to improve contemporary seafaring practices. Grounded ships are a part of the oceans' history and should be treated with respect.

    ‘Next year I’m going to be 80 years old. My car will be 20 years old. Together we’ll be 100. We’re going to drive to Cairo.’ 
      
    ‘And what route are you going to take?’ 
      
    ‘I have no idea. I think I’ll keep to the right.’ 
      
    When 80-year-old Julia Albu calls in to her favourite radio show with a zany, half-baked idea, she has no idea that it will lead her to the adventure of a lifetime. 
    From helping push a 30-year-old Toyota bakkie up a precipitous mountain pass in Malawi to being ‘adopted’ by the riotous ex-pat South African community in Dar es Salaam and being fed mildly hallucinogenic ‘herbs’ by her Ethiopian driver-guide, nothing deterred 80-year-old Julia Albu from her quest to drive through Africa from the Cape to Cairo. 
    	She and her 20-year-old Toyota Conquest, Tracy – a personality in her own right – travelled through 10 African countries, from South Africa to Egypt (and beyond). Julia was accompanied by a series of companions who added texture to her travels: three of her four grown-up children, her son-in-law, and at least one person who began as a complete stranger and ended up as a friend for life. 
    	Reminiscing about her long and interesting life along the way, and maintaining a bright and upbeat outlook regardless of the circumstances, Julia proves that you’re never too old to tackle that bucket list.

    'Takes us to places that don't register in our everyday lives - a critical piece of work for future historians.'- Rahul Mehrotra, architect and professor, Harvard Graduate School of Design 
    'A timely book that brings slum dwellers into the public eye - as luxury apartments rise, millions remain invisible to policymakers.' - Shabana Azmi, actor and housing rights activist 
    'Reads like a tender love letter to a disappearing city - an important contribution to understanding our planet's complex urban future.' - James Crabtree, author of The Billionaire Raj, former Mumbai bureau chief, Financial Times 
     
    Since the East India Company merged seven islands into Bombay (now Mumbai), change has been constant-but now it is used as a weapon for displacement, disguised as development. Slums are erased overnight to make way for luxury towers priced in tens of crores. The working class is pushed to the margins-literally-and into distant housing projects with no infrastructure, transport or sanitation. Entire communities are uprooted while a new Mumbai is built for the privileged few, behind closed gates, inside glass walls. 
    Sidharth Bhatia's Mumbai: A Million Islands is a piercing look at a city in the throes of relentless transformation. What is vanishing is not just space, but memory, history and the very fabric of a living city. Mumbai's famed spirit of survival is being tested like never before. Where the original seven islands had symbolized a synergy, today they're multiplying as fractures-social, spatial and economic-splitting the city into a million islands, each more isolated than the other.
