<p>This is the story of a tenacious US Senator who discovers it was much more than an iceberg that sunk the Titanic. Learn what really happened to the Titanic and Senator William Alden Smith's determined effort to expose the truth about it. This fast-paced, narrative non-fiction account uses actual recorded dialog, testimony and draws heavily from firsthand accounts of survivors. The author, aerospace engineer John H Wickman, established a reputation for finding the cause of engineering failures by investigating the Space Shuttle Challenger accident and other high profile cases. The book is based on 8 years of research that drew on eyewitness accounts, official testimony, newspaper stories, photographs, and videos of the wreckage, as well as analyses of the Titanic's design to provide the most accurate and complete picture of what caused the accident. The book reveals startling evidence that the collision with an iceberg did not lead to the Titanic's sinking; rather it was a series of subsequent explosions. The initial damage to the Titanic was minimal enough for the ship to have remained afloat for at least 24 hours. Unfortunately, electrical power flowed to the submerged sections of the ship and converted seawater into hydrogen and chlorine gas by electrolysis (See a demonstration on YouTube). It was only a matter of time until a spark or flame ignited the hydrogen gas causing an explosion that blew a hole in the ship's side. New revelations include: 1) The Titanic sailed to America with unfinished rooms, missing equipment and watertight doors that did not always close, 2) The Titanic's senior wireless operator saw an iceberg 10 minutes before the accident as he delivered the Californian's last ice message to the bridge, 3) The Titanic was already turning away from the iceberg when the lookout called the bridge to report an iceberg, and 4) The Titanic was only going half speed or less at the time of the accident, not full speed as widely believed.</p>

<p>"How to Make Amateur Rockets" is illustrated with photographs and drawings covering every aspect of amateur rocketry. The author is John Wickman, a professional rocket propulsion engineer with 44 years of experience in solid, liquid, and exotic propulsion systems. Anyone can start making their own motors and rockets with this book, even if you never made a rocket in your life. You don't need a college degree in chemistry or engineering to be successful with this book and the included software and DVD. Even if you know absolutely nothing about making rockets and rocket motors, all the information you need is in the book and video. This first half of the book tells you how to design and build a rocket motor. The last half tells you how to design and build the rocket for your motor. Don't confuse this book with others that only show you how to make a few designs. If you want to make something different, you are out of luck. This book gives you the knowledge and tools to design and build a rocket that you want. It shows you how to calculate the thermal and structural limits of your motor and design a motor that doesn't exceed those limits. It also explains how to design a rocket that will be stable off the launch rod, even in high wind conditions. Everything you need to be successful is included with this book. What makes this book package unique is the software and DVD video that come with it. While the book is fully illustrated with photographs and drawings, there are some things such as mixing and casting propellant, making nozzles, folding parachutes, and assembling rocket motors that are best shown by watching someone do it. The video shows you someone doing all of these things and more. It's like having a personal instructor showing you how to do it. The included software covers every aspect of motor and rocket design and calculates the rocket's trajectory. For more information, see CP Technologies website.</p>
