Sinossi

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.

That didn't happen.Unexplainable rage attacks, persistent intrusive thoughts and a recurring overwhelming despair are difficult to hide. Working as an x-ray technologist through Covid-19 contributed to her declining mental health. In a desperate attempt to numb the pain and cheer herself up she reached for what society endorses as the ultimate relaxant: wine.Alcohol made her mental health significantly worse, increased her anxiety and caused severe self-loathing. Instead of solving her low mood, it contributed to it.Everything is Broken and Completely Fine takes you into the flawed brain of someone who's living with anxiety, depression, and PMDD. Set in the unprecedented times of a pandemic, natural disasters and life's unavoidable ups and downs, this book explores what happens when denial turns into acceptance, grey area drinking transforms into sobriety, and one woman finds herself where she's never been before – at peace.

    We often imagine environmental destruction as something loud and spectacular — burning forests, melting ice, rising seas. But what if the real collapse is happening quietly, in our shopping carts, kitchens, wardrobes, and inboxes? 
    The Quiet Collapse reveals how the rhythms of daily life — what we eat, buy, drive, and even stream — are silently transforming the planet’s systems. Through vivid storytelling and clear-eyed investigation, this book uncovers the hidden environmental costs behind ordinary habits, from the water footprint of a cup of coffee to the carbon trail of a single online purchase. 
    Yet this isn’t a story of despair. Author Alex Southwick shows that the same everyday actions fueling the problem also hold the power to change it. By reconnecting personal choice with planetary impact, The Quiet Collapse invites readers to see themselves not as passive participants in crisis, but as active agents in renewal. 
    Illuminating, hopeful, and unflinchingly honest, this is the book that makes climate change feel both intimate and actionable — not a distant catastrophe, but a quiet revolution beginning in our own lives.
