Sinopse

In "Account of the Skerryvore Lighthouse: With Notes on the Illumination of Lighthouses," Alan Stevenson presents a meticulously detailed account of the engineering marvel that is the Skerryvore Lighthouse, which stands as a testament to the advancements in maritime navigation during the 19th century. Stevenson's narrative blends historical context with technical precision, capturing the challenges and triumphs of lighthouse construction amidst the treacherous tides of the Hebrides. His descriptive prose engages the reader, while the inclusion of illumination techniques reflects the technological innovations of his time, situating the work within the broader context of Victorian engineering literature. Alan Stevenson, a noted civil engineer and member of the prestigious Stevenson family of lighthouse builders, was profoundly influenced by his heritage and the maritime traditions of Scotland. His firsthand experience in lighthouse construction and illumination technology provided him with the unique insights and authority to document the Skerryvore's history. This book showcases not just the physical structure but also the human endeavor behind such monumental achievements, reflecting Stevenson's respect for both the art and science of lighthouse engineering. Readers with an interest in maritime history, engineering, or the intricate relationship between humans and their nautical environments will find "Account of the Skerryvore Lighthouse" both enlightening and inspiring. Stevenson's blend of personal narrative, technical detail, and historical account promises to captivate enthusiasts and scholars alike, making this work an essential addition to maritime literature.

    The body is central to our sense of identity. Bodily awareness, says scientist-writer Moheb Costandi, is key to self-consciousness. In Body Am I, Costandi examines how the brain perceives the body, how that perception translates into our conscious experience of the body, and how that experience contributes to our sense of self. Along the way, he explores what can happen when the mechanisms of bodily awareness are disturbed, leading to such phenomena as phantom limbs, alien hands, and amputee fetishes. 
     
     
      
    Costandi explains that the brain generates maps and models of the body that guide how we perceive and use it, and that these maps and models are repeatedly modified and reconstructed. Drawing on recent bodily awareness research, the new science of self-consciousness, and historical milestones in neurology, he describes a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders that result when body and brain are out of sync, including not only the well-known phantom limb syndrome but also phantom breast and phantom penis syndromes; body integrity identity disorder, which compels a person to disown and then amputate a healthy arm or leg; and such eating disorders as anorexia. 
     
     
      
    Wide-ranging and meticulously researched, Body Am I offers new insight into self-consciousness by describing it in terms of bodily awareness.

    “I felt honoured to be involved in the production/proof reading of Simon’s 4th book, Parkinson’s - Take a Walk With Me. The book is written with humour on a subject which could very easily be melancholy, and whilst not avoiding the truth about this degenerative neurological condition, Simon takes you on a journey with earnest compassion. A great read for everyone, especially for anyone remotely connected to Parkinson’s Disease, this is an uplifting, supportive and reaffirming read; life is still to be enjoyed no matter what the adversity.” - Sharon Timms
