Synopsis

"Titanic Story" offers a comprehensive exploration of the RMS Titanic's ill-fated voyage, delving into the intricate details of its construction, the human experiences onboard, and the disaster's lasting impact. The book meticulously reconstructs the events leading up to and following the sinking, highlighting the Edwardian era's societal aspirations embodied by the ship. It emphasizes how the tragedy prompted critical re-evaluations of maritime safety, unveiling the confluence of hubris, negligence, and systemic inequalities that contributed to the disaster.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, commencing with the ship's design and construction, then unfolding into the passenger experience and the harrowing moments of the sinking and rescue efforts. Survivor accounts and historical documents enrich the narrative, providing a balanced perspective on the events. The book analyzes the aftermath, including inquiries and regulatory reforms, demonstrating how lessons learned from the Titanic disaster continue to influence modern maritime safety.

 
"Titanic Story" uniquely interweaves technical details, personal stories, and historical analysis, appealing to readers interested in World History and maritime disasters. By connecting to fields like engineering and sociology, the book provides a holistic view, avoiding sensationalism and offering a well-researched account that challenges romanticized notions. It provides valuable insights into early 20th-century society and the enduring legacy of this nautical disaster.

    Once you've been admitted to college, the next step is to develop a strategy of how to find your best life there. But for decades, Professor James T. Hamilton has seen students struggle with their college journey. Some avoid challenging experiences, follow a path of familiar expectations, and rely on shortcuts. Others aim for perfection, ignore their friends and health, labor over what subjects to study, and neglect spending time outside the classroom. The pressure to make college valuable and interesting can feel overwhelming. 
     
     
     
    If only students could learn how others have navigated these challenges. You could ask alums to look back on friendships and college-to-career paths and provide advice. Now, you don't have to wish because You Got In! Now What? tackles the burning questions you have. 
     
     
     
    Hamilton designs lessons to help you find purpose, manage time, maintain friendships and family relationships, stay physically and mentally healthy, and choose classes, majors, and careers. Each lesson is accompanied by an essay based on research and reflections from students, alums, and professors to provide observations for how you can embrace the best that college has to offer. With these insights, you'll explore new ideas, meet people, have adventures, and most importantly, beyond just earning a degree, get an education.

Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Today from kindergarten through twelfth grade in the government school system, teaching reading, writing, and math have been supplanted by Marxist indoctrination. Our colleges and universities have become the final training grounds and launching pads for the next waves of Marxist activists. This book equips every American to turn this travesty around.

    This book aims to serve as both mirror and roadmap. I have identified eight issues that are most critical in the lives of young African American males: income inequality, anti-intellectualism, racial stereotypes, social promotion and retention, incarceration, inadequately trained teachers, ineffective assessments, and the lack of early childhood intervention. Subsequent chapters will begin by addressing those issues supported by statistics and stories culled both from my personal experience and from the experiences of others. The chapters present a general discussion of the topic and examine efforts to overcome the difficulties. Each chapter will close with a substantial section on solutions to the problems. The discussion concentrates on what works—the practical steps to move us from the current crisis to a future of parity and promise.

    Through this collection of essays, author and activist Reagan Jackson, chronicles her journey into the world of journalism. Art, cinema, social justice, feminism, Black reparations, health & reproductive rights, dance, education—while Jackson’s subjects range far and wide, her writing brings an intimacy & immediacy to all. 
    Equal parts personal testament, structural interrogation, and social criticism, Reagan Jackson’s Still True inspires in its singularity. Jackson writes with a powerful sense of history and a wide-ranging vision, capturing a Seattle in flux, where processes of inequality, gentrification, and police violence occur alongside community struggle, vivid resistance, and countless episodes of joy. We should all hope that voices like hers blossom throughout our communities. This book is a gift to all readers and writers—aspiring, established, or otherwise. ~Sonora Jha, author of The Laughter 
    Reagan Jackson writes from the crossroads of journalism, memoir, activism, and everyday life in these raw and wild times. Jackson is a pioneer for what “writing the first draft of history” looks like in an intersectional world and a model of how media can help build the communities and worlds of the future.  
    ~Sarah Stuteville, Co-Founder of the Seattle Globalist
