Sinossi

"The Titanic" explores the complete story of the infamous ocean liner, from its ambitious beginnings to its tragic sinking in the North Atlantic. It examines the vessel's design and construction, the social context of its maiden voyage, and the catastrophic events that led to its demise, arguing that the disaster was a result of multiple factors, including design flaws and insufficient safety regulations. The book emphasizes the importance of rigorous safety standards and the inherent fallibility of even the most advanced technology.

 
This exploration of maritime history reveals intriguing facts, such as the societal confidence in technology bordering on arrogance, and the stark social hierarchy evident in the disparities between first and third-class accommodations.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, starting with the White Star Line and the competitive transatlantic travel market, progressing through the ship's construction and the fateful voyage, and concluding with the aftermath, inquiries, and ongoing explorations of the wreck site.

 
Drawing on original blueprints, survivor testimonies, and modern wreck site expeditions, this book provides a balanced and evidence-based narrative for general readers interested in history, maritime enthusiasts, and students. It avoids sensationalism, focusing instead on a grounded historical presentation that connects engineering, sociology, and maritime history to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Titanic's enduring legacy.

  • A time of perverts - Burn-out: the epidemic of the century - cover

    A time of perverts - Burn-out:...

    Burn-out affects hundreds of thousands of employees in France, and is spreading like an epidemic in the 21st century. One of the primary factors cited by specialists is increasingly brutal and manipulative managerial practices. 60% of employees feel that their manager is a source of stress for them.
    With the force of analysis and vivid style that made his previous book Clan des seigneurs such a success, Paul-Antoine Martin bears witness with startling realism to the terrible collapse represented by burn-out, its causes and its impact on the lives of those it strikes. He describes the uncommonly violent management methods and harassment to which he was subjected for many months. More broadly, he denounces the totalitarian drifts underway in the world of work, as well as the general hypocrisy that reigns there, noting that society promotes leaders who are brutal, perverse and affectless.
    Finally, the author tells how, thanks to his wife’s love, he gradually got back on his feet, free and stronger, despite the suffering, after-effects and relentlessness of his ex-employer. His testimony is a powerful message of hope, fighting spirit and dignity for the countless victims of burn-out. Paul-Antoine Martin, 57, an engineer by training (CentraleSupélec), has always worked in an industrial environment, from Anglo-Saxon multinationals to French public institutions. He has held senior executive positions, rubbing shoulders with captains of industry, politicians and senior civil servants.
    Patrick Légeron is a psychiatrist, burn-out specialist and co-author of the Académie de médecine report on burn-out. He is the author of several books on the subject.

  • Berlin Airlift and Berlin Wall The: The History and Legacy of the Fight Over the Occupied City during the Cold War - cover

    Berlin Airlift and Berlin Wall...

    In the wake of World War II, the European continent was devastated, and the conflict left the Soviet Union and the United States as uncontested superpowers. This ushered in over 45 years of the Cold War, and a political alignment of Western democracies against the Communist Soviet bloc that produced conflicts pitting allies on each sides fighting, even as the American and Soviet militaries never engaged each other. Though it never got “hot” between the two superpowers, the Cold War was a tense era until the dissolution of the USSR, and nothing symbolized the split more than the division of Berlin. Berlin had been a flashpoint even before World War II ended, and the city was occupied by the different Allies even as the close of the war turned them into adversaries.  
    	If anyone wondered whether the Cold War would dominate geopolitics, any hopes that it wouldn’t were dashed by the Soviets’ blockade of West Berlin in April 1948, ostensibly to protest the currency being used in West Berlin but unquestionably aiming to extend their control over Germany’s capital. By cutting off all access via roads, rail, and water, the Soviets hoped to force the Allies out, and at the same time, Stalin’s action would force a tense showdown that would test their mettle.  
    	After the Soviets’ blockade of West Berlin was prevented by the Berlin Airlift, the Eastern Bloc and the Western powers continued to control different sections of the city, and by the 1960s, East Germany was pushing for a solution to the problem of an enclave of freedom within its borders. West Berlin was a haven for highly-educated East Germans who wanted freedom and a better life in the West, and this “brain drain” was threatening the survival of the East German economy.  In order to stop this,  in August 1961, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev authorized East German leader Walter Ulbricht to begin construction of what would become known as the Berlin Wall.

    1996: The year that shaped a generation, revisited three decades on by Ex Sun Editor, Dominic Mohan 
    1996 a year that shaped a generation – all the glamour, glitz and grit of the 1990s relived, by the man who lived through it all, Ex Sun Editor, Dominic Mohan. 
    From the death of Kurt Cobain, to the birth of Britpop, Mohan forensically examines the era when you could truly come as you are. 1996 follows the year when all elements of British culture; music, politics, football, fashion, food, art and media collided spectacularly, allowing Britain to reclaim it's title as the artistic center of the world. 
    Mohan looks back (without anger), through the lens of his insider perspective, at the decade where records sold in their millions, rock icons made friends in politics and no one knew what an iPhone was. 
    Drawing on interviews from major 90s icons and legends, 1996 is an authoritative account of the pivotal period that saw the biggest artistic bomb in the nation since the swinging sixties. This book tells the story of one of the most influential eras, with keen observations, reflections and exclusive content throughout.
