Beschreibung

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.

    Morning After the Revolution takes you on a gripping journey through the aftermath of a progressive movement that promised sweeping change but struggled with practical realities. The author reflects on their personal experiences within the rise of New Progressivism, analyzing the lofty ideals, the disappointments, and the unintended consequences that unfolded in key cities like San Francisco.

    Middle Ages - Medieval Events...

    This is a combo book about the middle ages, which comprises the following titles: 
    1 - Middle Ages: In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or Middle Ages time period lasted around from the fifth to the late 15th centuries, likewise to the postclassical period of worldwide history. It started with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. 
    2 - Black Death: Here we have it: We may be looking at the years 2020-2021 and think a certain virus has been bad for the world population. However, what happened in these two years is nothing, proportionally, to the hundreds of millions of people who got wiped out by rat infestations spreading insanitary bacteria, resulting in the disease and death of huge parts of the European population in the mid-centuries. 
    The genesis or origin of the Black Death is a point of contention. The epidemic started in Central Asia or East Asia, but it wasn't till 1347 that it made its conclusive presence in Crimea. It spread out through the Mediterranean Basin, reaching Africa, Western Asia, and the remainder of Europe through Constantinople, Sicily, and the Italian Peninsula, probably brought by fleas surviving on black rats carried by Genoese servant ships. 
    3 - Crusaders: The Crusades are one of those dark chapters in history that we would rather forget, especially religious people. In name of the church, or other religions, like the Muslim faith, people killed, destroyed, looted, and burned cities to the ground. There is nothing “holy” about attacking and plundering, yet this is what they did. 
    The Crusades were a series of spiritual fights in the Middle Ages period that were begun, supported, and sometimes ordered by the Latin Church.

    When England’s King Edward IV fell ill at Easter 1483 after coming back from a fishing trip and died shortly after on April 9, it threw a country that had already suffered a series of wars into a state of chaos. What exactly killed him is unclear, and though some people would later speculate that he had been poisoned, there is every reason to believe that he died of natural causes. Disease was common in medieval England, and doctors lacked much of the medical knowledge now taken for granted. The king's spectacular lifestyle had taken its toll, and he was significantly overweight, so it seems the lifestyle which he thought he had earned as king, and which he used to remind everyone of his status, was probably his undoing. 
    	Recognizing that death was coming, the 40-year-old Edward IV had tried to make arrangements for how the kingdom would be ruled during his son's minority. His aim was for Rivers to continue running the young king's household while Richard, Duke of Gloucester, became protector and took responsibility for running the country until Edward V was old enough to do so for himself. It was an arrangement designed to prevent any one person from gaining total authority during his son's childhood reign, and thus to protect the young king. 
    	At first, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but behind the scenes Richard was scheming. As Edward V and his guardian Rivers were travelling toward London, Richard and his substantial military retinue met them on the road. After setting Rivers and another adviser at ease through a pleasant dinner on April 29, Richard showed his true colors the next day by taking them captive and taking control of the teenaged king. His justification was the old classic of protecting a king from evil advisers. 
    	The chain of events also contributed to one of England’s most enduring mysteries, because Edward and Richard never emerged from the Tower of London.

    Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own is a timeless and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between women and creativity. Based on a series of lectures delivered at Cambridge University in 1928, this seminal work blends sharp wit, eloquence, and intellectual rigor to examine the systemic barriers that have historically denied women the opportunity to achieve their artistic potential. 
    Woolf argues that for women to write—and to thrive—they require financial independence and personal space, both literally and figuratively. Through vivid prose and compelling insights, she interrogates the social and cultural constraints placed on women and challenges readers to consider the enduring impact of inequality on art and literature. 
    More than a call to action, A Room of One’s Own is a celebration of the resilience of women writers and a rallying cry for the creation of a world where every voice can be heard. Profoundly relevant today, this masterpiece remains an essential read for anyone interested in gender, creativity, and the power of storytelling.
