Sinopse

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.

    Cancer - A Very Short...

    In 1961 John F. Kennedy pledged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Nine years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Ten years later, Richard Nixon echoed this pledge by declaring a "war" on cancer. More than thirty years later, however, cancer remains one of the largest causes of death worldwide, with around one in three developing the disease. Curing cancer is not "rocket science," but the question is, why has cancer proved to be harder to tackle than the moon landings turned out to be? 
     
     
     
    Cancer research is a major economic activity. There are constant improvements in treatment techniques that result in better cure rates and increased quality and quantity of life for those with the disease, yet stories of breakthroughs in a cure for cancer are often in the media. 
     
     
     
    In this Very Short Introduction Nick James, founder of the CancerHelp UK website, examines the trends in diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as its economic consequences. Asking what cancer is and what causes it, he considers issues surrounding expensive drug development, what can be done to reduce the risk of developing cancer, and the use of complementary and alternative therapies.

    "An ingenious argument" (Kirkus) for a "novel thesis" (Publishers Weekly) that cells, not DNA, hold the key to understanding life's past and present 
     
     
     
    What defines who we are? For decades, the answer has seemed obvious: our genes, the "blueprint of life." In The Master Builder, biologist Alfonso Martinez Arias argues we've been missing the bigger picture. It's not our genes that define who we are, but our cells. While genes are important, nothing in our DNA explains why the heart is on the left side of the body, how many fingers we have, or even how our cells manage to reproduce. Drawing on new research from his own lab and others, Martinez Arias reveals that we are composed of a thrillingly intricate, constantly moving symphony of cells. Both their long lineage—stretching back to the very first cell—and their intricate interactions within our bodies today make us who we are. 
     
     
     
    Engaging and ambitious, The Master Builder will transform your understanding of our past, present, and future—as individuals and as a species.
