Breaking Titanic - Analysing RMS Titanic's Hull Fracture

Eugene Nesmeyanov

Synopsis

At 11.40 p.m. on 14 April 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg. She sank less than three hours later, taking around 1,500 people down with her. Devastated survivors provided conflicting information about her final hours – did she slip gracefully below the waves in one piece, or did she violently break apart?
The answer would not be confirmed for seventy-three years.
Breaking Titanic is the first comprehensive study of the break-up of Titanic's hull. Using eyewitness accounts, underwater archaeology reports and data from computer simulations, Eugene Nesmeyanov presents a critical analysis of the most significant theories and models of the break-up, drawing his own conclusions based on the available body of evidence.

Hook Was Right: The Sinister...

James G. Edwards II

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
What if Peter Pan wasn’t the hero? 
We all know the story of the boy who wouldn’t grow up. But beneath the fairy dust and Neverland adventures lies a far more unsettling truth—one that’s been ignored for over a century. 
In Hook Was Right: The Sinister Side of Peter Pan, author James G. Edwards II pulls back the curtain on one of literature’s most beloved characters, exposing the dark psychology and troubling power dynamics hidden in plain sight. This isn’t a children’s tale—it’s a cautionary one. 
1. What if the Lost Boys were victims, not volunteers? 
2. Was Captain Hook the only adult who saw through the illusion? 
3. Why does no one in Neverland remember who they are—or want to leave? 
Combining literary criticism, psychological insight, and cultural analysis, this book reinterprets Peter Pan through a modern lens—tackling themes like trauma, memory loss, emotional manipulation, and eternal youth as a weapon. 
Whether you’re a fan of classic literature, dark fairy tales, or thought-provoking nonfiction, this book will challenge everything you thought you knew about Neverland—and make you wonder if Hook was the real hero all along. 
Neverland isn’t a dream. It’s a trap.  
And Peter Pan may be its most dangerous resident.

Seeing Red - Russian Propaganda...

Gordon Neil Ramsay, Sarah Oates

The US media has been tainted with Russian disinformation, but the more significant threat is how the Right has embraced the Russian model of the news media as a vehicle for propaganda. This could not have happened without Donald Trump, who has been aided and abetted by politicians and news outlets that favor persuasion over information. From his inauguration onwards, Trump has shown allegiance to the Kremlin propaganda playbook—he consistently denies reality, amplifies lies, vilifies the free media, and broadcasts disinformation. 
 
 
 
Seeing Red breaks new ground in investigating the scope of Russian disinformation, arguing that key politicians and media outlets in the United States have facilitated the dissemination of Russian propaganda. From the 2020 elections to the Capitol Insurrection to the war in Ukraine, Sarah Oates and Gordon Neil Ramsay examine the penetration of key Kremlin strategic narratives that attempt to project Russian power, blame NATO for Russian aggression, and attack democracy via the US news. Despite knowledge of the risk and resourceful work on tracking down Russian propaganda in the United States, the problem of foreign disinformation continues to this day. As Oates and Ramsay argue, this is in part due to exploitation of the American tradition of free speech and the open nature of the US media system.
