  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.

  Face In The Moon The (De Facie...

  Plutarch

  In 100 AD, Plutarch wrote what would become the first science fiction about the civilisation on the moon, appended to a rigorous scientific analysis of current knowledge about the moon. 
   
  Orbital mechanics, optics, atmospheric refraction, lunar geography, planetary and stellar composition, xenobotany, gravitation, heliocentricity, eclipse geometry and more are discussed as the state of the art is unpacked. Often startlingly modern for a work that is two millennia old, it serves as a reminder that science began long, long before norms of the modern scientific era were established.  
   
  The first half reads as genuine natural philosophy. Plutarch's speakers debate the nature of the lunar surface, rejecting the notion of a perfect celestial sphere made up of fire and ether in favour of a body with mountains, valleys, and shadow-casting terrain. They examine reflected light, atmospheric optics, and the mechanics of eclipse. One speaker advances a proto-gravitational argument: that "down" is a local condition, that objects fall toward whatever body they belong to, and that the moon holds its own just as Earth holds ours. 
  The second half carries that physical moon into mythological territory. A soul narrative describes the lunar surface as a way-station between lives, a realm where mind and spirit undergo staged separation before returning to the cosmos or descending again to Earth. Discussing the voyages taken as the mind separates from the soul in journeys around the moon, it serves as both theological and science-fictional. 
  Perfect for readers drawn to the history of science and the speculations that arise from it, this book is the first known moment empirical observation and speculative reasoning combined, in what would  millennia later be called hard sci fi.
