belfasttelegraph.co.uk	ALL'S SHIPSHAPE IN JOHN'S BOOK OF TITANIC FACTS - BELFAST TELEGRAPH John White’s new book, The RMS Titanic Miscellany, contains everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the world’s most famous ship, from facts and figures to biographies and urban myths surrounding the ill-fated voyage. John is not new to the specific art of writing fact books — with over 30 sports books to his name, he could be called something of an expert at the genre — but this book is certainly different to his usual fare....	21st July 2011
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
winnipegfreepress.com	SHIPLOAD OF TITANIC BOOKS AS 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF SINKING NEARS Does the world need more books about the Titanic? Probably about as much as it needs a 3-D version of James Cameron's movie. Still, a veritable shipload is being released to commemorate the April 14 100th anniversary of the sinking. While the world would continuing spinning without most of them, happily, the titles discussed are all first-rate. All tell the well-trod tale of the rich and famous who sailed on the White Star Line's ill-fated luxury liner; some highlight the effects the catastrophe had on the survivors, and others tell the story of the officers and crew. Two are by Canadians; John Boileau and Hugh Brewster fill out neglected stories of Canadian victims and Halifax's role in the recovery and identification of the 1,517 lost....	24th March 2012

The challenge, therefore, for writers is to find a new way to tell the story. For Richard Davenport-Hines, whose just-published Titanic Lives: Migrants and Millionaires, Conmen and Crew (HarperPress) has drawn lavish praise from the critics, the answer lay not only in detailing the stories of the passengers - from the upper class toffs to the political, religious and economic refugees in third class - but also those of the men who built and owned the ship, and the crew who serviced her, thus presenting a more complete overview of Edwardian society....	9th January 2012

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
