Sinossi

Lighthouse Engineering explores the captivating history and complex engineering behind maritime beacons, from simple signal fires to advanced automated systems. These structures, designed to withstand extreme conditions, showcase a blend of art and science. Lighthouses have evolved significantly; for instance, the development of Fresnel lenses dramatically improved light visibility, and modern LED lighting offers unprecedented efficiency. The book examines structural integrity, light-source technology, and automation, illustrating how lighthouse advancements mirror broader progress in engineering and materials science. 

 
Early chapters focus on fundamental design principles and construction methods. Later sections detail the evolution of light sources, from basic fires to electric lights, and the integration of remote monitoring and solar power. Case studies and historical records support the narrative.

 
 Uniquely, the book combines technical details with historical context, presenting a comprehensive view suitable for engineers, architects, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and architecture. It emphasizes the interplay between human ingenuity and environmental challenges, highlighting adaptations necessary for the marine environment. The book progresses logically, building from foundational concepts to modern innovations, offering practical insights for coastal infrastructure and historical appreciation.

    Part H Is for Hawk, part The Soul of an Octopus, The Book of Eels is both a meditation on the world’s most elusive fish—the eel—and a reflection on the human condition. 
    Remarkably little is known about the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. So little, in fact, that scientists and philosophers have, for centuries, been obsessed with what has become known as the “eel question”: Where do eels come from? What are they? Are they fish or some other kind of creature altogether? Even today, in an age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don’t understand what drives them, after living for decades in freshwater, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives. They remain a mystery. 
    Drawing on a breadth of research about eels in literature, history, and modern marine biology, as well as his own experience fishing for eels with his father, Patrik Svensson crafts a mesmerizing portrait of an unusual, utterly misunderstood, and completely captivating animal. In The Book of Eels, we meet renowned historical thinkers, from Aristotle to Sigmund Freud to Rachel Carson, for whom the eel was a singular obsession. And we meet the scientists who spearheaded the search for the eel’s point of origin, including Danish marine biologist Johannes Schmidt, who led research efforts in the early twentieth century, catching thousands upon thousands of eels, in the hopes of proving their birthing grounds in the Sargasso Sea. 
    Blending memoir and nature writing at its best, Svensson’s journey to understand the eel becomes an exploration of the human condition that delves into overarching issues about our roots and destiny, both as humans and as animals, and, ultimately, how to handle the biggest question of all: death. The result is a gripping and slippery narrative that will surprise and enchant.

    Pollution is Colonialism

    In Pollution Is Colonialism Max Liboiron presents a framework for understanding scientific research methods as practices that can align with or against colonialism. They point out that even when researchers are working toward benevolent goals, environmental science and activism are often premised on a colonial worldview and access to land. Focusing on plastic pollution, the book models an anticolonial scientific practice aligned with Indigenous, particularly Métis, concepts of land, ethics, and relations. Liboiron draws on their work in the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR)—an anticolonial science laboratory in Newfoundland, Canada—to illuminate how pollution is not a symptom of capitalism but a violent enactment of colonial land relations that claim access to Indigenous land. Liboiron's creative, lively, and passionate text refuses theories of pollution that make Indigenous land available for settler and colonial goals. In this way, their methodology demonstrates that anticolonial science is not only possible but is currently being practiced in ways that enact more ethical modes of being in the world.
