Curse of The Narrows: The Halifax Disaster of 1917 af Laura M. Mac Donald (waltzmn)

The description of this book says it has 127 pages. It should say that, once it were put in a proper type size, it would be about sixty.

This is a book for popular consumption, so perhaps it can be forgiven for its breezy approach and lack of documentation. But it's too short. There is no index. There isn't much science -- and the science matters here.

Frankly, this belongs as a chapter in one of those "Childhood Adventures" type books. But if you actually want to learn something -- get a book with some substance. And an index. (
