The Hancocks of Marlborough
This book began with the aim of telling the almost forgotten story of Thomas Hancock, the rubber developer who in his own day was acknowledged as one of the great scientific pioneers of the Industrial Revolution. But as research progressed, it was clear that Thomas and his five brothers, the Hancocks of Marlborough, together constituted a unique family which made a tremendous yet virtually unknown contribution to nineteenth-century science and art. Walter designed and ran the first steam carriages to carry passengers on the common roads of England and so began the age of mechanized transport. Thomas founded the UK rubber industry when he discovered how to vulcanize rubber reliably; his compa...

Titanic Captain
Commander Edward John Smith's career had been a remarkable example of how a man from a humble background could get far in the world. Born to a working-class family in the landlocked Staffordshire Potteries, he went to sea at the age of 17 and rose rapidly through the ranks of the merchant navy, serving first in sailing vessels and later in the new steamships of the White Star Line. By 1912, he as White Star's senior commander and regarded by many in the shipping world as the 'millionaire's captain'. In 1912, Smith was given command of the new RMS Titanic for her maiden voyage, but what should have been among the crowning moments of his long career at sea turned rapidly into a nightmare following Titanic's collision with an iceberg. In a matter of hours the supposedly unsinkable ship sank, taking over 1,500 people with her, including Captain Smith.
A Miracle of Love
In the heartbreaking story, The Miracle of Love, parents, Amy and Eric Yawanarajah, took their month-old child, Naveen, for what they believed was a routine medical visit after the baby contracted a cold. They heard the dreaded words that their son had a rare cardiac defect that could not be corrected. At the time, there were few known treatments for Naveen's type of congenital heart defect. The child's prognosis was he would be lucky to survive his seventh birthday! But Naveen's parents never gave up. They searched the globe until research led them to seek palliative treatment in New Zealand when Naveen was just four. Naveen's strong belief in his ability to live a long life ultimately convinced his parents to accept his choice of Perth Western Australia for his tertiary studies. It was the benevolence of the insurance system of Australia that funded the young man's many cardiac procedures. Naveen lived to age thirty-two, well beyond the lifespan projected by Australian cardiac specialists. This is the true story of a young man whose love of life and people while living with a congenital heart condition, is a miracle which will be an inspiration to many.
