This book, written for children, but a relaxing read for adults, covers salient points regarding the manufacture, technology, luxury, tragedy, aftermath and impact of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. As with most books of this favorite EYEWITNESS BOOKS series by Dorling Kindersley, the topic is thoroughly covered with succinct text, illustrations and photographs of artifacts. The layout is colorful and engaging, and goes far beyond the black and white books that informed my youthful mind. 
 The most significant development from those books of my youth is the discovery of the wreck itself, in the fall of 1985. I like the way this title features photographs as the hulk, as well as the technologies used to both discover and analyze it. You aren't going to get PhD analysis, but children and interested adults will find an excellent overview.
