  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan, marking the conclusion of his Batman trilogy. Set eight years after The Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has retired as Batman, living in isolation. However, Gotham faces a new threat in the form of Bane (Tom Hardy), a masked revolutionary who seeks to destroy the city. As Bane's plan unfolds, Bruce is forced to confront his past, physical limitations, and the legacy of Gotham’s protector. The film explores themes of redemption, resilience, and sacrifice, blending action with emotional depth and complex character arcs. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Nolan described the central theme of "The Dark Knight Rises" as "pain," in contrast to "fear" in "Batman Begins" and "chaos" in "The Dark Knight." 
    
  “To avoid leaks, Christopher Nolan chose to verbally share the film's ending with the cast rather than providing written scripts.” 
    
  “To make Bane appear taller than his co-stars, Tom Hardy, who stands at 5'9", wore lifts that added three inches to his height.” 
    
  “The line "That's a lovely, lovely voice" was improvised by Tom Hardy during a scene at approximately 1 hour 28 minutes in the film.” 
    
  “Tom Hardy revealed that the most challenging aspect of filming was the fight scenes. Despite being a huge Batman fan, he said it felt strange to be "beating up [his] childhood hero."”

  A delicious and delightful narrative history of pie in America 
   
  From pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving to apple pie on the Fourth of July, nearly every American shares a certain nostalgia for a simple circle of crust and filling. But for centuries, pie has been a malleable icon, equally enjoyed at the table and coopted for social and political purposes. After all, it was a slice of cherry pie denied  
  at the Woolworth’s lunch counter that ignited a wave of anti-segregation protests across the South during the civil rights movement. Molasses pie, a Southern favorite, captures the legacies of racial trauma and oppression passed down from America’s history of slavery, and Jell-O pie exemplifies the pressures and  
  contradictions of gender roles in an evolving modern society. We all know the warm comfort of the so-called all-American apple pie … but just how did pie become the symbol of a nation? 
   
  In Sweet Land of Liberty: A History of America in 11 Pies, food writer Rossi Anastopoulo cracks open our relationship to pie with wit and good humor. She traces the pies woven into our history, following the evolution of our country across centuries of innovation and change and examining how America’s  
  relationship with this iconic dessert impacted culture across eras—and vice versa.  
   
  With corresponding recipes for each chapter, Sweet Land of Liberty is an entertaining, informative, and utterly charming food history for bakers, dessert lovers, and history aficionados alike. Ultimately, the story of pie is the story of America itself, and it’s time to dig in.

  A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of HMS Britannic—her life at sea and on the seabed—by the owner of her wreck. 
   
   
   
  Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. 
   
   
   
  There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. 
   
   
   
  Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of forty years. This book finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.
