Forthcoming
From the Inside Out
Harrowing Escapes from the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center
Erik O. Ronningen
Erik Ronningen was on the 71st floor of the North Tower on September 11, 2001 when American Airlines Flight 767 struck the building. After an incredible, even miraculous journey down through the acrid, smoke-filled building lit by occasional fireballs, Erik tried to get to the Security Command Center in the South Tower. Unable to do so, he was the last person to make it out of the South Tower alive.
Here is the story of his harrowing escape interwoven with the accounts of fourteen others who were lucky enough to be able to recount them.
Lost Ireland
1860-1960
William Derham
Lost Ireland: 1860–1960 presents a panoramic sweep of Ireland’s forgotten built heritage. From war and insurrection, to prosperity and development, the changes wrought by history have meant that a whole swathe of our built past no longer survives, save through the magic of the camera lens. Drawing on a variety of photographic archives, this book offers a wide sample of what was lost to these changes: the humble mud huts of the transient labourer, and the ‘thatched mansions’ of the prosperous farmer; the edifices of industrial innovation and technology; the grand homes of the well-to-do, including the infamous ‘big house’.
