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.

    "With Virginia Woolf alongside them, Queyras journeys through rooms literal and figurative, complicating and deepening our understanding of what it means to create space for oneself as a writer. Their hard-won language challenges us to resist any glib associations of Woolf’s famous ‘room’ with an easy freedom. Inspiring and moving, Queyras’s memoir testifies to Woolf’s continuing generative power."—Mark Hussey, editor of Virginia Woolf's Between the Acts (2011) and author of Clive Bell and the Making of Modernism (2021)
       
    "In this beautiful, perceptive book, Sina Queyras moves deftly between the words and wake of Virginia Woolf and their own formation as writer, lover, teacher, friend, and person. Rooms is expert in its depiction of personal and literary histories, and firmly aware of its moment of composition. Reading these pages, I was enticed by Queyras’s curiosity and openness, thrilled by the sharp edges of their anger. Tight prose, electric thinking, self-discovery – it’s all here, all abuzz. Rooms is alive." – Heather Christle, author of The Crying Book
       
    "It is impossible not to question the world as we thought we knew it by the end of this book. Sina Queyras painstakingly aims their extraordinary nerve and talent at Virginia Woolf’s idea of a room of one’s own: 'It’s a mistake to consider the room without all of its entanglements.' Taking Woolf’s cue, Queyras explores writing that is not world-building but something far more generous and transformative; as Woolf wrote, 'Literature is open to everybody.'" – CAConrad, author of AMANDA PARADISE: Resurrect Extinct Vibration

    When Brie receives a large, attachable "finger" that enhances sensation, the first thing she does is stick it on her clit. It works as planned and she proceeds to use it and abuse it, losing track of time in the process. Her best friend and co-worker, Erica, visits to investigate why Brie missed work, and Brie shares her new toy with her, allowing Erica to experience penetration as the giver for the first time.

    When Erica begins having trouble keeping her food down, Brie starts to suspect something's up. While she first fears her lover's gotten herself knocked up by someone else, she soon realizes the most likely culprit is actually... herself. 
    Their use of the magical pill will determine the direction of not only their relationship, but their lives. 
    This book contains explicit sex, including use of toys, futa on female, and futa on futa.

    The next-true life NCIS story from New York Times bestselling authors Mark Harmon and Leon Carroll, Jr.  
    Read by the author. 
    Panama, 1989. The once warm relationship between United States and Gen. Manuel Noriega has eroded dangerously. Newly elected President George Bush has declared the strongman a drug trafficker and a rigger of elections. Intimidation on the streets is a daily reality for U.S. personnel and their families. The nation is a powder keg.  
    Naval Investigative Service (NIS) Special Agent Rick Yell has worked the job in Panama since 1986, and lives there with his wife Annya and infant child. Like most NIS agents, he’s a civilian with no military rank with a specialty in working criminal cases. The dynamic changes suddenly when Yell inadvertently develops an intelligence source with unparalleled access to the Noriega regime. Now the agent is thrust into a world of spy-versus-spy, of secret meetings and hidden documents.  
    Yell’s source – known as “The Old Man” – warns when Cuban military personnel arrive and identifies anti-American officers within the Panamanian Defense Forces, provides information about an imprisoned CIA asset and helps track Noriega’s movements, agitating for the dictator’s kidnapping. The reports created by Yell and his NIS colleagues shape the decisions made in Washington D.C., CIA headquarters in Langley and the innermost sanctums of Pentagon. 
    The powder keg is lit on December 16, 1989, when a young U.S. Marine is gunned down at a checkpoint in Panama City. Yell and his cadre of trusted agents deploy immediately to investigate the killing, and what they determine will decide the fate of two nations. When President Bush hears the details they uncover, he orders an invasion that puts Yell’s family, informants and fellow agents directly in harm’s way.    
    Using a blend of research and interviews with the NIS agents who were directly involved, Ghosts of Panama reveals the untold, clandestine story of counterintelligence professionals placed in a pressure cooker assignment of historic proportions.
