Supernatural sci-fi suspense thriller produced and based on a
concept by M. Night Shyamalan, but directed by Drew and John Erick
Dowdle. Set inside a skyscraper office block, the film revolves
around a group of five people trapped inside an elevator - one of
whom, unbeknownst to the others, is the Devil in disguise.
Originally written in the late 1970s, this book was untouched for
more than 35 years. McLuhan passed away before it went to press,
but Logan always intended to finish it. Even though much has
changed in the three decades since work on the project was halted,
many of the points that McLuhan and Logan made in the era of
'electric media' are highly cogent in the era of 'digital media.'
Looking at the future of the library from the perspective of
McLuhan's original vision, Logan has carefully updated the text to
address the impact of the Internet and other digital technologies
on the library. McLuhan prophetically foreshadowed the
transformative effect that computing would have on "mass library
organization," saying it would become obsolescent. It is perhaps no
coincidence that a key theme of the book is that libraries must
strive to create context given today's hyper information overload.
The authors believe this task can be achieved by putting together a
compact library of books providing an overview of human culture and
scholarship. This book is based on the original text that McLuhan
and Logan wrote. Logan's updates are integrated in the main text
and clearly identified by markers. This preserves the flow of the
original text and at the same time provides updates in the context
of the original study. Other significant updates include two new
chapters: Chapter 6 provides a LOM (Laws of the Media) treatment of
the new post-McLuhan digital media, and Chapter 7 discusses the
impact of these media on today's library. A second part to the
concluding Chapter has been added to update some of the conclusions
reached in 1979, and there is also a new preface.

When she set sail from Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York
on April 10, 1912, RMS "Titanic," the pride of the White Star
fleet, was the largest ocean liner in the world. Deemed
"practically unsinkable" because of her double-bottomed hull and
watertight compartments, she carried more than 2,000 passengers and
crew, although only sufficient lifeboats for just over half that
number. Four days out of Southampton, on the night of April 14, she
struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank within a matter of
hours; 1,503 lives were lost. Logan Marshall interviewed the
survivors in the immediate aftermath of the disaster and in this
book he records the facts as they were known, together with
numerous maps, diagrams, drawings, and photographs (including a
picture of the actual iceberg that sank the "Titanic"). Well
established as part of the canon of "Titanic" literature, this book
is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the ship and her
sorrowful fate.
An authentic account of one of the most horrible disasters in
Canadian history. Soon after leaving Quebec on her voyage to
Liverpool with over 1,300 souls on board, she was struck by the
Norwegian collier Storstad off Father Point, Quebec, on 29 May
1914, at 2.10 a.m., and sank about fifteen minutes later, carrying
a thousand of her passengers down with her.
