wsj.com	WHEN THE GREAT SHIP WENT DOWN The sinking of the Titanic was like "a fancy dress ball in Dante's Hell," said survivor Helen Candee. In the early hours of April 15, 1912, the world's most luxurious ocean liner struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage and sank into frigid water. Of 2,223 passengers and crew onboard, only 706 survived. Such cataclysm may seem an odd subject for children's books, but young readers are perhaps no more immune to fascination with the glamorous Titanic than anyone else. At any rate, the approaching centennial of the sinking has launched a fleet of narratives about the vessel that gripped the world's imagination even before it was launched. For "Titanic: Voices From the Disaster" (Scholastic, 285 pages, $17.99), Deborah Hopkinson has drawn from the vast archives of the event—eyewitness accounts, survivors' memoirs, telegraph transmissions—to relate what happened chiefly from the point of view of the people on the ship. The result, aimed at readers ages 11-16, is an affecting portrait of human ambition, folly and almost unbearable nobility in the face of death....	16th March 2012

glam.co.uk	MOVIE REVIEW – TITANIC 3D This centenary sees the re-release of James Cameron’s blockbuster Titanic, this time in 3D. Set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, Cameron’s epic romance launched the careers of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, broke boxoffice records and won 11 Academy Awards in 1998. The digital remastering from Super 35 to IMAX 3D – supervised by Cameron himself, results in a larger aspect ratio than the original, and is therefore best enjoyed on the biggest screen in Britain. I didn’t see it at the IMAX, and consequently I didn’t feel that the film gained anything from being remastered for 3D. I tend to think that unless a film is specifically shot for 3D, it is redundant......	22nd March 2012

Herald News	NEW TITANIC BOOK 'A PEOPLE STORY' Hundreds of books documenting the sinking of the Titanic have been written. Then there are the movies and novels that depict the 1912 disaster. But too many accounts of the doomed luxury liner don’t tell the whole story, said Halifax author John Boileau. "They might mention in passing that there were inquiries conducted by the British and American authorities," Boileau said in an interview Tuesday. "They might even mention there was a recovery operation, which might get a paragraph or two or maybe a page, but generally the books end with the rescue operation." With his book Halifax and Titanic, which will be launched Thursday, Boileau hopes to fill the gaps in the Titanic tale and dispel some of the myths surrounding the disaster....	29th February 2012
