Sinopsis

Extreme Weather Beacons explores the remarkable history and architectural engineering behind lighthouses, those steadfast guardians of the sea. These structures, vital for maritime navigation, showcase incredible coastal resilience and innovative design to combat extreme weather. The book highlights how these beacons have evolved to withstand some of nature’s fiercest challenges, from hurricane resistance to tsunami protection, thus representing a blend of historical architecture and engineering innovation.

 
The book delves into the architectural adaptations that enable lighthouses to endure. The use of specific structural geometries is discussed, as well as materials that defy immense forces, and the use of unique foundation techniques. The book examines how maritime history and polar storms have influenced lighthouse design, and how historical records and engineering reports provide insight into their construction and performance.

 
Beginning with the basics of lighthouse design and their historical significance, Extreme Weather Beacons progresses through how they combat hurricane-force winds, withstand the impact of tsunamis, and endure freezing polar conditions. It concludes with modern preservation efforts, offering valuable lessons applicable to contemporary coastal infrastructure and beacon preservation.

    Directly from the headlines: Even before its mandated closer due to the Covid-19 virus epidemic, after spending billions of dollars, the American education system was in crisis. Students were not being prepared for anything except more years without adequate benefit and were turning off. Teachers were quitting in droves, and taxpayers were losing faith in the schools they paid for with their taxes. Resulting in nation-wide teacher shortages, it never needed to happen. This project is as explosive to the field of education as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was for agriculture and pesticides, or Ralph Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed was for auto safety. And like those books, A Teacher’s Quest not only identifies problems but offers solutions.

    Love and Saint Augustine

    Hannah Arendt

    Hannah Arendt, the author of The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition, began her scholarly career with an exploration of Saint Augustine's concept of caritas, or neighborly love, written under the direction of Karl Jaspers and the influence of Martin Heidegger. After her German academic life came to a halt in 1933, Arendt carried her dissertation into exile in France, and years later took the same battered and stained copy to New York. 
     
     
      
    During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Arendt was simultaneously annotating and revising her dissertation on Augustine, amplifying its argument with terms and concepts she was using in her political works. The dissertation became a bridge over which Arendt traveled back and forth between 1929 Heidelberg and 1960s New York, carrying with her Augustine's question about the possibility of social life in an age of rapid political and moral change. 
     
     
     
    In Love and Saint Augustine, political science professor Joanna Vecchiarelli Scott and philosophy professor Judith Chelius Stark make this important early work accessible for the first time. Here is a completely corrected and revised English translation that incorporates Arendt's own substantial revisions and provides additional notes based on letters, contracts, and other documents as well as the recollections of Arendt's friends and colleagues.
