Sinossi

Abandoned Lighthouses explores the poignant stories of coastal sentinels left to weather the elements, examining their architectural significance, historical context, and the challenges of their preservation. These structures, once vital for maritime navigation, now stand as reminders of technological advancements and shifting economic landscapes. 

 
The book investigates the architectural ingenuity employed in their construction, highlighting how these buildings were engineered to withstand extreme coastal conditions. It also traces the individual histories of selected lighthouses, detailing the lives of the lighthouse keepers and the maritime events witnessed over time. 

 
The book delves into the unique challenges faced in preserving these historic landmarks, considering the ethical, economic, and environmental factors that influence their fate. Readers will discover the importance of maritime history, coastal geography, and evolving navigational technologies in understanding the decline of these beacons. Coastal preservation, maritime events, and lighthouse automation are all key components of the lighthouse's story. 

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of the abandoned lighthouse, then presenting case studies from around the world, and finally analyzing the broader implications of their abandonment.

    Celebrating the persistence of Turtle Power Raise Some Shell critically and cleverly examines the origins, evolution, and impact of the Ninja Turtles phenomenon ― from its beginning as a self-published black-and-white comic book in 1984, through its transformation into a worldwide transmedia phenomenon by the middle of the 1990s, and up to the sale of the property to Nickelodeon in 2009 and relaunch of the Turtles with new comics, cartoons, and a big-budget Hollywood film. With the eye of contemporary cultural studies and the voice of a true lifelong Turtles fan, Rosenbaum argues that the Turtles’ continuing success isn’t mere nostalgia, but rather the result of characters, and a franchise, that mutated in a way that allowed the to survive and thrive in a post-modern world.
