Beschreibung

Unmanned Beacons explores the fascinating history of lighthouse automation, a technological shift that transformed maritime navigation and profoundly impacted coastal communities. The book examines how these once-vital structures transitioned from manned posts to automated beacons, highlighting the technological advancements that made this possible and the subsequent displacement of lighthouse keepers. One intriguing fact is the early adoption of electric lights and remote monitoring systems, paving the way for fully automated systems controlled by sophisticated computer technology. The book delves into the human cost of this progress, detailing the stories of those whose livelihoods were tied to these isolated towers and the ripple effects felt by the communities that supported them. It reveals how automation, while improving safety and efficiency at sea, also reshaped coastal landscapes and maritime culture. Unmanned Beacons unfolds across chapters that first introduce the world of the traditional lighthouse keeper, then chart the development of automation technologies, and finally, explore the consequences of this technological displacement, all while maintaining a balance between technical analysis and human-centered stories.

    Told from the perspective of mothers who've lived it, Difficult focuses on mothering challenging adult children. 
     
     
     
    Difficult brings to life the conflicts that arise for mothers who are confronted with the unexpected and burdensome dependencies of their adult children associated with mental illness, substance use, or chronic unemployment. Through real stories of mothers and their challenging adult children, this book offers accessible, provocative, and, at times, shocking illustrations of the excruciating maternal dilemma: Which takes precedence—the needs of the mother or of the distressed adult child? Difficult addresses a family situation which too many keep secret. The book allows listeners to see that they are not alone. 
     
     
     
    Judith Smith speaks empathically to parents, acknowledging and illuminating the embarrassment, shame, and helplessness that women can feel when their adult children's problems puncture their own feelings of self-worth. In the absence of sufficient supports and affordable housing for persons with mental illness or substance misuse disorder, mothers feel that they have no choice—"if not me, then who?" Unpaid and unrecognized maternal caregiving work continues to limit women's quality of life, even into their later years. Smith addresses this as a societal issue which requires structural solutions.

    In the summer of 2022, Lee Berger lost 50 pounds in order to wriggle though impossibly small openings in the Rising Star cave complex in South Africa—spaces where his team has been unearthing the remains of Homo naledi, a proto-human likely to have coexisted with Homo sapiens some 250,000 years ago. The lead researcher on the site, still Berger had never made his way into the dark, cramped, dangerous underground spaces where many of the naledi fossils had been found. Now he was ready to do so. Once inside the cave, Berger made shocking new discoveries that expand our understanding of this early hominid—discoveries that stand to alter our fundamental understanding of what makes us human. So what does it all mean? Join Berger on the adventure of a lifetime as he explores the Rising Star cave system and begins the complicated process of explaining these extraordinary finds—finds that force a rethinking of human evolution, and discoveries that Berger calls "the Rosetta stone of the human mind."

    Gifted Child - The Intensities...

    In this brief guide to giftedness, we will assess and critically examine the results of IQ-tests and their significance. We will also look at the homework problems many gifted children face, with their particular set of grey matter, and why schools often fail to meet the needs of those same children, because let’s face it: The schools often have no clue what to do with them, how to challenge them properly, or how to adapt a program to their constant drive to explore, discover, and be more creative. 
    Another subject in this book is how you can help gifted children manage their intense feelings and their overexcitement. Gifted children tend to experience things on a deeper, more intense level, and this can both lead to genius moments and hypersensitivity and being overly dramatic about seemingly small issues. How to handle this, is key of one of the chapters in this guide. 
    I encourage you to take a look at this. You will learn more and understand how your gifted child feels and what moves him or her in life.
