Sinopsis

Lighthouse Construction explores the fascinating engineering behind maritime lighthouses, those towering structures built to withstand the relentless power of the sea. It details the technological innovations and immense logistical challenges involved in creating these vital navigational aids. 

 
The book examines the evolution of lighthouse design, highlighting how these structures transitioned from simple bonfires to sophisticated towers with advanced optical systems. The book emphasizes the interplay between engineering innovation, environmental adaptation, and societal need. For example, constructing lighthouses on treacherous sandbanks required innovative foundation techniques, while building on rocky coasts demanded precise quarrying and fitting of granite. 

 
Through case studies of iconic lighthouses, the book illustrates the practical application of engineering principles and the heroic efforts of construction crews. Beginning with fundamental design principles, the book progresses through the evolution of light sources and the challenges of diverse environments. It culminates by examining the automation of lighthouses and their ultimate decline with modern navigation systems, reflecting on their lasting legacy as symbols of human ingenuity and maritime safety.

    Why do millions of people around the world love Scottish dancing?
    What makes it so special?
    
    Heel for Heel is a joyful celebration of all the genres from the centuries-old Highland Dancing to the evolving reels, Scottish Country Dancing, ceilidhs and Step Dance that spread throughout Scotland and beyond. The story mirrors the delight of the guests at 'Mairi's Wedding' going 'heel for heel', whether in a boisterous jig or a graceful Strathspey.
    Cindy Gray, a keen dancer herself, invites you to discover the universal appeal of Scottish dance. She tells the story of Scottish dance through the stories of fellow enthusiasts including Scots at exuberant ceilidhs, Samburu tribesmen learning a giddy 'Eightsome Reel', Canadian children immaculately dressed for 'The Sword Dance' and reelers at glittering balls in Venice, Oman and India. Her amusing anecdotes and illuminating reflections are enhanced by vibrant photographs.
    This book is a MUST for anyone who enjoys Scottish dancing – or who fancies they might – and for everyone drawn to stepping out gaily, 'heel for heel and toe for toe'!

    In this Oxford Guide to Film Musicals, author Hannah Lewis gives listeners fascinating new insights into the development, style, and reception of the 2016 film musical La La Land. Directed by Damien Chazelle with music by Justin Hurwitz, the film tells the story of a romance between an aspiring actress and jazz pianist as the two pursue their dreams in Los Angeles. It uses a vintage form to tell a modern story and its blend of nostalgia and realism made it an instant classic even as it prompted a range of critical and audience responses. Drawing on extensive personal interviews with director Damien Chazelle, composer Justin Hurwitz, choreographer Mandy Moore, and lyricists Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the book explores La La Land's aesthetic approach to the film musical genre, particularly its engagement with and subversion of the classic Hollywood musical's stylistic and narrative expectations. 
     
     
     
    Lewis offers audiences ways of listening to the film's depiction of jazz, focusing especially on how race and genre intersect in its narrative. She also reveals new insights into the film's reception, showing how the critical response from its premiere to its place at the Academy Awards reflected broader cultural expectations and understandings of the film musical and its continued appeal for twenty-first century audiences.
