Sinopse

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.

    "Slobodchikoff's ground-breaking research" (Jonathan Balcombe) shows us that animals have much to teach us about languageGroundbreaking research has been done teaching animals human language, but what about the other way around? Studies have shown that lizards, squid, monkeys, and birds are talking to each other, communicating information about food, predators, squabbles, and petty jealousies. These animal languages are unique and highly adaptive. By exploring them, we come to appreciate the basis of our own languages; understanding or even "speaking" them allows us to get closer to the other species who inhabit this planet with us. The implications of animals having language are enormous. It has been one of the last bastions separating "us" from "them."Slobodchikoff's studies of the communication system of prairie dogs over twenty-five years have attracted a considerable amount of attention from the media, including a one-hour documentary on his work produced by BBC and Animal Planet. In Chasing Doctor Dolittle, he posits that the difference is one of degree, not the vast intellectual chasm that philosophers have talked about for millennia. Filled with meticulous research, vivid examples and daring conclusions, this book will challenge the reader's assumptions and open up new possibilities of understanding our fellow creatures.

    The Sixth History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Sixth History of Man is the last narrative in the History of Man Series that uses infection as the underlying foundation. The series will continue but use other disease platforms for jumping off. From a human infection perspective, this sixth book will visit with the King of Pop Michael Jackson, vitiligo and propofol, the famous and infamous sexually transmitted diseases—herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, HIV and the granddaddy of colorful stories, syphilis—with their very entertaining tales, a world of romance, suspense, and thrillers. We’ll hop from science to art to music, going back in time to the astronomy of the Persians, Syrians, the Greek Aristotle and on to Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler. Our travels will take us to the Renaissance of art and music, stopping along a few stations, such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Monet. A discussion of why and how humans went from spoken language to written language is on our menu. We will pay homage with another visit with the First Viennese School, parse senility, delirium, and dementia and most assuredly discuss the women who helped build Johns Hopkins Hospital. OK Boomers! and the sociology of cohort generations will help complete this narrative.

    Horses are valuable teachers and healers, and give us powerful lessons in how to be effective leaders. In this 2022 interview with Justine Willis Toms, Carolyn Resnick reveals the secrets of how a horse gains and maintains its leadership of a herd of wild horses. What makes a good leader in a stallion of a herd of wild horses can be used for human leadership as well: it does not lead by coercion or waging battles, but creates unity, harmony, and respect including the personal space of others.  
    Carolyn Resnick is the founder of The Resnick Method of Horsemanship and offers many online courses, clinics, retreats, and certification opportunities that create a magical connection with horses using rituals that are innate to the horse. She is a master horse communicator who grew up with horses and spent three summers of her childhood gradually becoming accepted into a community of wild horses, culminating in her ability to ride a lead mare bareback and without a bridle. She is the author of Naked Liberty: Memoirs of My Childhood, Guided by Passion, Educated by Wild Horses (Amigo Publications, Inc. 2005).
