Synopsis

Storm Survivors explores the dramatic history of lighthouses and their battles against extreme weather, revealing the crucial intersection of historical engineering, earth sciences, and geography. The book investigates how these coastal guardians have been shaped and challenged by storms, highlighting their role in maritime safety and the increasing threats posed by climate change. Readers will discover how each storm served as a vital test, informing future lighthouse designs and construction techniques. The book's unique value lies in its focus on the dynamic relationship between lighthouses and the environment, emphasizing adaptation and innovation in preserving these structures.

 
For instance, the book examines how some lighthouses were built with specific design features to deflect wave energy, while others were strategically located to minimize exposure to prevailing winds. Beginning with the fundamentals of lighthouse design and construction, the book progresses through case studies of devastating storms in regions like North America and Europe and concludes by synthesizing lessons learned to inform modern coastal engineering and preservation efforts.

A Darker Wilderness - Black...

Erin Sharkey

What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
 
 
 
Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies. 
 
 
 
A scrapbook, a family chest, a quilt—a work of historical engagement and literary accomplishment—A Darker Wilderness is a collection brimming with abundance and insight.
