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.

A century after it sank to the bottom of the St. Lawrence River, the ruin of the "Empress of Ireland "has remained one of the most devastating tragedies in maritime history. Logan Marshall's vivid and detailed reportage was the first account of the disaster and has endured as a classic chronicle of what happened that fateful night.
On May 28, 1914, the grand ocean liner, the "Empress of Ireland," left Quebec on the St. Lawrence River, bound for an Atlantic crossing to Liverpool, England. At a few minutes before two o'clock on the morning of Friday, May 29, the "Empress "sighted the Norwegian collier, "Storstad, " at the same time as a heavy fog bank was descending. Despite warnings and evasive maneuvers, the "Empress" was struck on the starboard side by the "Storstad," which penetrated its hull by twelve feet. The captain and crew had less than fifteen minutes to save their passengers before the ship slipped under the waves. Of the 1,475 aboard, 1,078 perished in a matter of minutes. It remains the worst peacetime catastrophe in Canadian history.
In addition to his unforgettable account of the sinking, Logan Marshall also presents a gripping retelling of the "Titanic" disaster, as well as other maritime tragedies. For decades, Marshall's account of the "Empress of Ireland "has remained the definitive version, comparable to Walter Lord's chronicle of the "Titanic" sinking, "A Night to Remember."
CENTENNIAL EDITION: INCLUDES PHOTOS AND A NEW AFTERWORD UPDATING THE STORY

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.
