Synopsis

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.

    In Thinking Through Aquinas: Essays on God, Humanity, and Christ, Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt presents fourteen essays, written over the course of twenty years, that are attempts both to think through the arguments contained in the theology of Thomas Aquinas and to use the theology of Thomas to think through the questions that confront theologians in our own day. The essays include discussions of Thomas’s understanding of the nature of theology and of God; his reflections on virtue, vice, and the moral life; and his theology of Christ, the Church, and the Sacraments. Over the course of these essays, Thomas is brought into dialogue with figures ranging from Michel Foucault to Flannery O’Connor, Jonathan Lear to Ignacio Ellacuría, Stanley Hauerwas to St. John Paul II.

    World War I, also known in its time as the “Great War” or the “War to End all Wars”, was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its sheer scale. Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the globe, it saw millions of soldiers do battle in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold hundreds of millions of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a conflict that demonstrated man’s capacity to kill each other on a heretofore unprecedented scale, and as always, such a war brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant.  
    By 1918, all the great powers were fielding squadrons of fighting aircraft armed with machine-guns and bombs, to say nothing of light reconnaissance planes. Tanks, a common feature on the battlefield by 1918, had not previously existed outside of the realm of science fiction stories written by authors like H.G. Wells. Machine guns had gone from being heavy, cumbersome pieces with elaborate water-cooling systems to single-man-portable, magazine-fed affairs like the Chauchat, the Lewis Gun and the M1918 BAR.  
    These technological developments led to an imbalance. Before the introduction of the man-portable light machine gun (which took place in the second half of the war), not to mention tanks (which also joined the fight late in the game), defensive firepower vastly outweighed offensive capability. Massed batteries of artillery, emplaced heavy machine guns, barbed wire entanglements, and bewildering fortifications meant that ground could not be taken except at incredible cost.  
    Fighting in World War I analyzes the technological advancements in weaponry that produced the deadliest conflict in history up to that time, and the adjusting tactics that the combatants came up with on land, at sea, and in the air.
