Beschreibung

"Beacons of Hope" explores the captivating story of lighthouses, those towering sentinels of the sea that have guided ships and saved lives for centuries. Beyond their practical function, these structures embody human ingenuity, hope, and resilience.

 
The book examines how lighthouses evolved architecturally, from simple bonfires to sophisticated structures equipped with Fresnel lens systems, which could project light across vast distances, and how integral they were to maritime trade, reducing shipwrecks and connecting the world through safer navigation.

 
The narrative progresses from the earliest navigational aids to the lives of the dedicated lighthouse keepers and their families, often living in isolated conditions. It delves into the cultural impact of lighthouses, showcasing their representation in art, literature, and popular culture, solidifying their status as enduring symbols.

 
By drawing upon historical records, architectural plans, and personal accounts, "Beacons of Hope" offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in architecture, maritime history, or the intersection of human endeavor and cultural symbolism.

    The sons of liberty are celebrated in the rebellious history of Boston—but what of their sisters? An audacious and determined procession of reformers, socialites, criminals, and madams made the city what it is today. One hundred years before Rosa Parks, African American abolitionist Sarah Parker Remond refused to give up her seat while attending a play in Boston. Fiery activists Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall led a boycott against bird plumage in ladies' dress and brought the fashion industry to its knees. Rachel Wall was the last woman to be hanged in Massachusetts after leading a daring life as a robber and pirate. Later, women like Boston Marathon runner Kathrine Switzer also blazed their own trails. Author Dina Vargo unearths the remarkable stories of the wild women of the Hub.

    On February 15, 2015, Kate Matrosova, an avid mountaineer, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Late the following day, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. 
     
     
     
    At thirty-two, Matrosova was ultra-fit and healthy and had already summited much larger mountains on several continents. Her gear included a rescue beacon and a satellite phone. Yet, despite their best efforts, more than forty expert search and rescue personnel, a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. 
     
     
     
    What went wrong? 
     
     
     
    Where You'll Find Me offers possible answers to that question, demonstrating why Matrosova's story—what we know and what we will never know—represents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.

    'Parenting is not just about bringing up children. It is about growing up and transforming ourselves to be better human beings. Every parent would do well to get themselves a copy.' 
    - India Today 
    'A simple belief - a happy mother is the best thing for children.' 
    - The Hindu 
    'Alive with anecdotes, distilled theory and authentic empathy - a gift of a book that nudges us gently through a reflective connect with ourselves and our children into the world of life-affirming parenting.' 
    - Gloria Burrett, Psychotherapist, New Delhi 
     
    'I accept and love you the way you are. You are unique, you are different, and you are you. I will not compare you with others, I will not constantly keep expecting and demanding what you might not be able to do or give.' 
    As parents, we foist our dreams and aspirations on our children, push them to be more than we could ever be. But do we have the courage and honesty to look within and ask what drives our parenting - our own needs or those of our children? More crucially, are we able to accept them and respect them for who they are?  
    Child & adolescent psychologist and family therapist Shelja Sen formulates five anchors of parenting to help you connect with the immense wisdom that is already present in you:  
    Connect (create the foundation of parenting);  
    Coach (build the necessary skills in children through an understanding of their unique wiring and temperament);  
    Care (nurture ourselves for a more wholesome life);  
    Community (build caring ecosystems for children to thrive in); and  
    Commit (sustain the courage and compassion).  
    Groundbreaking, essential reading.
