After the Holocaust by Greenfield
This book promises to tell the rest of the story how those Jewish youths who survived the Holocaust preceded with their lives after the war.The survivors' narratives are divided into four segments.This, unfortunately, leads to some problems for the reader as it is rather easy to become confused about what happened to which individual survivor.I found it easier to read about each one of the Jews individually throughout the book first.Then I reflected on their experiences as a whole.

The Titanic in photographs then and now (with now in 3-D)
Director James Cameron has remained obsessed by the wreck of the Titanic and managed to avoid working on his next real film by putting together the giant-screen 3-D film "Ghosts of the Abyss."Not that you can really blame Cameron for being wary after putting together the biggest money making film of all time (in non-adjusted dollars).But then what did David O. Selzink do after "Gone With the Wind"?("Duel in the Sun," which was not bad, but what does not suffer in comparison to "GWTW"?).I fully expect the director's cut of "Titanic" to be coming out on DVD next, but in the interim there is "Ghosts of the Abyss" and this book, which provides more than 35 3-D images based on the film.Following Jake the Robot that Cameron sent deep inside Titanic you use your official "Robot Mask" so that you can see the ghosts. 3-D is a pass.
Just received my combo of Ghosts: Journey and Ghosts: 3-D.Very disappointed in 3-D.The vast mojority of pics are from old photos we have seen many times before with the attempt to "3-D" them.I bought the book for what the movie 3-D was and came away very disappointed with the content.

Abyss is a keeper
Great book. Just what I hoped it would be....a superb archieve of the movie with it's great never before seen pictures. ... Read more
