Sinopsis

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.

Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

Caroline Oakes

These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
 
 
 
But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
 
 
 
In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.
