Sinossi

On 15 April 1912, passengers stood on a dimly lit Boat Deck, looking down at the lifeboats they were told to enter. In the freezing air, away from the warmth of the interior, they had to decide whether to enter a boat that would be lowered into darkness or remain on an 'unsinkable' ship.
RMS Titanic in 50 Objects is a look at the world-famous liner through the objects that tell her story. Sheet music recovered from the body of a musician, a full-sized replica of her First Class Entrance Hall clock, a lifeboat from a fellow White Star Line ship – all of these objects and more come together to tell not only the tragedy of the ship herself, but also that of her passengers and crew. Lavishly illustrated and extensively researched by two of the world's most foremost Titanic experts, this is her history brought to life like never before.**

    The lovely land of hills, moors and beaches is bounded by the Atlantic and the Solway. Steeped in history and legend, still unspoiled, it is a land whose peace and grandeur are at least comparable to the Highlands, and yet it is hardly known. No area of Scotland better repays exploration than this.
    From the Auld Kirk of Alloway where tales of Tam O'Shanter resound, to the legends of St Ninian at one of Scotland's earliest Christian sites, Whithorn, this region is lovingly described by a local author, who will explore with you the splendour of Culzean Castle and delights of Wanlockhead, Scotland's highest village.

    The Journey to Ineffectiveness: A Beginner’s Guide” by Dr JC, presents the novel argument that Ineffectiveness is a good thing and we should embrace it. It lays out a plan whereby we can increase our ineffectiveness. The book introduces our other IQ (Ineffectiveness Quotient), which is measured by our behavior, rather than our mental ability. It introduces a number of areas that present us opportunities to increase our IQ in a humorous, and some might say an outrageous, style. Let’s take a look at a few examples. Confess! You’ve bought and/or been given a self-help book. You probably read part of, but 90% of the people who buy them read the entire book. Furthermore, .0001% take their advice, but don’t despair. The time and money you spent on self-help increase your ineffectiveness. While this isn’t a self-help book, it will increase your ineffectiveness and determine you Ineffectiveness Quotient. Dr JC will take you on a hilarious journey through many areas of your life. In addition to self-help, you’ll be taking a look at some so-called mental helpers, the search for domestic tranquility, the dumbness that surrounds us, and many more. The journey will take you from your favorite ‘big box’ store to dealing with artificial intelligence and everything in between. Get ready and buckle your seatbelt. We’re going for a ride with Dr JC that’s a laugh a minute. He says to be sure and bring snacks and plenty of tequila for our stops along the way. There’s plenty of room so All Aboard!
