Beschreibung

Hidden Sea Signals explores the fascinating history and technology of lighthouses, revealing how these beacons served as vital pre-digital communication hubs for maritime navigation and global commerce. Far from being simple structures, lighthouses housed sophisticated systems employing light, fog, and radio signals, all managed by dedicated keepers. The book highlights how the evolution of lighthouse technology, from basic coal fires to advanced Fresnel lenses, dramatically improved signal precision and reliability, crucial for maritime safety.

 
The book progresses by first detailing the technological foundations of lighthouses, then examining the lives and work of the keepers, and finally analyzing case studies of maritime incidents where signaling played a critical role. By drawing on archival records, personal journals, and oral histories, Hidden Sea Signals paints a vivid picture of this bygone era.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes how lighthouse communication formed a sophisticated technological network, essential for maritime safety and global trade, long before modern digital systems.

    After the Flood takes readers to the front lines of the planet’s most pressing crisis: the global struggle to live with water in an era of unstoppable change.

    Blending investigative reporting with deeply human storytelling, Alex Southwick reveals how rising seas are not only redrawing maps, but reshaping what it means to belong, to adapt, and to survive. 
    After the Flood is a haunting and inspiring portrait of a world transformed by water — and the people determined to rise with it.

    A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
     
     
     
    From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
     
     
     
    Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.
