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.

    The twin acts of singing and fighting for freedom have been inseparable in African American history. May We Forever Stand tells an essential part of that story. With lyrics penned by James Weldon Johnson and music composed by his brother Rosamond, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” was embraced almost immediately as an anthem that captured the story and the aspirations of black Americans. Since the song’s creation, it has been adopted by the NAACP and performed by countless artists in times of both crisis and celebration, cementing its place in African American life up through the present day. 
     
    In this rich, poignant, and readable work, Imani Perry tells the story of the Black National Anthem as it traveled from South to North, from civil rights to black power, and from countless family reunions to Carnegie Hall and the Oval Office. Drawing on a wide array of sources, Perry uses “Lift Every Voice and Sing” as a window on the powerful ways African Americans have used music and culture to organize, mourn, challenge, and celebrate for more than a century.

    A former artist’s model and muse reclaims her image and voice, dismantling the male gaze that once framed her. 
    At 23, Theresa Kishkan met an artist who became obsessed with her. She was young, she was flattered, and the situation quickly overwhelmed her. He drew and painted her for a few months, after which she went away for a year. When she returned, she was determined not to resume the relationship.  
    But the artist made contact with her after the birth of her first child and became a family friend, bringing gifts of paintings. Those images hung in Theresa’s home, and one in particular reminded her almost daily of her younger self, in ways both positive and not so much. She avoided looking too closely at his images of her and at his long, passionate and often troubling letters. 
    Decades later, while sorting old correspondence, she was taken back to those early days and began, at last, to write about her relationship with the now-deceased artist. The Art of Looking Back is a meditation on the male gaze, on reclaiming one's younger self, and on agency: how we lose it, how we find it again. This poetic memoir asks questions about older men and younger women and girls, and the persistence of that dynamic in art.
