Synopsis

On May 1, 1915, the majestic RMS Lusitania departed from New York, bound for Liverpool, navigating through the escalating tensions of a war-torn Europe. Just six days later, the Cunard liner met a tragic fate, sinking into the depths of the Atlantic after being struck by a German torpedo. The catastrophe claimed the lives of over a thousand passengers, sending shockwaves across the world and profoundly influencing the American stance on World War I.At the heart of this investigation lies a provocative thesis: the tragic loss of life on the Lusitania was not merely a consequence of wartime hostilities but was exacerbated by decisions and actions that could have been averted. Through detailed analysis, the book questions the accountability of the captain and crew, challenging readers to reconsider the extent to which their actions — or inactions — contributed to the disaster.But this story is not confined to the ill-fated ship alone. "Echoes From the Deep" also examines the broader ramifications of the Lusitania's sinking on American public opinion. The tragedy stirred a powerful emotional response, turning the tide of sentiment and drawing the United States closer to joining the global conflict.Blending historical rigor with compelling storytelling, "Echoes From the Deep" explores tragedy, responsibility, and the complex interplay between individual actions and larger historical forces. This book is essential for history enthusiasts, maritime scholars, and anyone intrigued by the profound impact of the Lusitania disaster on the American war effort.

    In Invisible Intelligence, educationalist, filmmaker and best-selling author Welby Ings considers how schools measure intelligence and shows how narrow definitions of literacy and numeracy can lead to bright students being described as ‘behind’ and positioned as problems, when they are not. Ings mixes poignant, humorous and insightful storytelling with current research to explore the ways that some children’s intelligent approaches to problem-solving are dismissed or ignored, with devastating consequences for individuals and society. Yet Invisible Intelligence offers hope. Written with wisdom, experience and compassion, it is the kind of book that ‘puts an arm around the shoulders’ of those who love and work with kids whose intelligence is not recognised because they don’t learn the same way as other children. Pragmatic, wise and helpful, Invisible Intelligence shows what we can do better in education, and why it’s so important that we do.

    From the award-winning Native American literary writer Diane Glancy comes a book about travel, belonging, and home. Travel is not merely a means to bring us from one location to another. "My sense of place is in the moving," Glancy writes. For her the road is home—its own satisfying destination. But the road also makes demands on us: asking us to be willing to explore the incomprehensible parts of the landscapes we inhabit and pass through—as well as to, ultimately, let them blur as they go by. This, Glancy says, is home. 
     
     
     
    Glancy teases out the lessons of the road that are never easy to define, grappling with her own: childhood's puzzle pieces of her Cherokee heritage and a fraught but still compelling vision of Christianity. As she clocks an inordinate amount of driving, as she experiments with literary forms, she looks to what the land has held for centuries, before the roads were ever there. 
     
     
     
    This, ultimately, is a book about land, tradition, religion, questions, and the puzzle pieces none of us can put together quite right. It's a book about peripheral vision, conflicting narratives, and a longing for travel.
