MacInnis, Dr. Joseph. Titanic in a New Light. 1st printing. Charlottesville: Thomasson-Grant. 1992. hardcover. isbn: 1565660250. scarcity: scarce.

The companion book to the stunning IMAX film, Titanica. More than a companion piece, though, this book is a fascinating look into the challenges faced by the team in lighting the wreck for filming in the eternal blackness to be found on the bottom of the ocean.

It is a story of three nations coming together; the Russians with their sophisticated submersibles Mir One and Two; the Americans with their advanced photographic technology; and the Canadians with their IMAX film format. The author has a knack for dramatic flair, making for an entertaining read.

The photography is, of course, stunning., with many haunting images of the wreck.
