  The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
   
   
   
  The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
   
   
   
  This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.

  TUPAC SHAKUR 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Tupac Shakur, also known as 2Pac and Makaveli, was a highly influential American rapper and actor. Born Lesane Parish Crooks, he adopted the name Tupac Amaru Shakur, after the Inca revolutionary. He is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, known for addressing social injustice and political issues. Tupac's career included successful albums like 2Pacalypse Now, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z..., Me Against the World, and All Eyez on Me. He also engaged in a public feud with other rappers and had several legal issues. Tragically, he was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1996. His legacy includes a large body of work, poetry, and activism. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Tupac Shakur's birth name was Lesane Parish Crooks, but he was renamed Tupac Amaru Shakur at age one. His name was inspired by Túpac Amaru II, a revolutionary descendant of the last Incan ruler. 
    
  Tupac's parents, Afeni Shakur and Billy Garland, were both active members of the Black Panther Party. His mother was tried as part of the Panther 21 criminal trial a month before his birth, but she was acquitted of over 150 charges. 
    
  Tupac's stepfather, Mutulu Shakur, was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for four years and was eventually convicted for a 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored truck. His godmother, Assata Shakur, was convicted of murder and is on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list after escaping prison. 
    
  Tupac's family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1984, and the block where they lived was later renamed Tupac Shakur Way. While in Baltimore, he was a member of the Young Communist League.

  Red Sauce - How Italian Food...

  In Red Sauce, Ian MacAllen traces the evolution of traditional Italian-American cuisine, often referred to as "red sauce Italian," from its origins in Italy to its transformation in America into a new, distinct cuisine. It is a fascinating social and culinary history exploring the integration of red sauce food into mainstream America alongside the blending of Italian immigrant otherness into a national American identity. The story follows the small parlor restaurants immigrants launched from their homes to large, popular destinations, and eventually to commodified fast food and casual dining restaurants. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on inspiration from Southern Italian cuisine, early Italian immigrants to America developed new recipes and modified old ones. Ethnic Italians invented dishes like lobster fra Diavolo, spaghetti and meatballs, and veal parmigiana, and popularized foods like pizza and baked lasagna that had once been seen as foreign. Eventually, the classic red-checkered-table-cloth Italian restaurant would be replaced by a new idea of what it means for food to be Italian, even as "red sauce" became entrenched in American culture. This book looks at how and why these foods became part of the national American diet, and focuses on the stories, myths, and facts behind classic (and some not so classic) dishes within Italian-American cuisine.
