Sinopsis

"The Lighthouse Code" explores the fascinating history of lighthouses, revealing them not just as navigational aids, but as sophisticated communication hubs. These maritime sentinels employed a complex language of light flashes, colors, and fog signals to convey crucial information to ships at sea. The book highlights how the standardization of maritime codes allowed for effective communication across vast distances, contributing significantly to maritime safety and global trade. For example, specific flash sequences identified individual lighthouses, while foghorns warned ships of danger in low visibility. 

 
The book traces the evolution of lighthouse technology, from simple fixed lights to intricate signaling systems. Beginning with the basic principles of lighthouse optics and acoustics, it progresses through the development of standardized light characteristics and fog signals. "The Lighthouse Code" also examines the crucial role of lighthouse keepers and shipboard personnel in interpreting and acting upon these signals. By focusing on the communicative aspect of lighthouses, the book offers a unique perspective on their contribution to maritime history and our understanding of signaling technology. The book concludes by exploring the reasons for the decline of traditional lighthouse signaling, replaced by new technologies.

    For over a century, cinephiles and film scholars have had to grapple with an ugly artifact that sits at the beginnings of film history. D. W. Griffith's profoundly racist epic, The Birth of a Nation, inspired controversy and protest at its 1915 release and was defended as both a true history of Reconstruction (although it was based on fiction) and a new achievement in cinematic art. Paul McEwan examines the long and shifting history of its reception, revealing how the film became not just a cinematic landmark but also an influential force in American aesthetics and intellectual life. 
     
     
     
    In every decade since 1915, filmmakers, museums, academics, programmers, and film fans have had to figure out how to deal with this troublesome object, and their choices have profoundly influenced both film culture and the notion that films can be works of art. Some critics tried to set aside the film's racism and concentrate on the form, while others tried to relegate that racism safely to the past. McEwan argues that from the earliest film retrospectives in the 1920s to the rise of remix culture in the present day, controversies about this film and its meaning have profoundly shaped our understandings of film, race, and art.

    Does faith belong in politics? According to Rob Nijhof it most certainly does. Everyone has some deep convictions that shape the way in which one conducts politics. People can be inspired to political wisdom from different sources. That diversity presents a good reason to listen to each other. It remains useful to draw from the broad Christian tradition that gave the Netherlands and Europe a unique constitutional and democratic character. This tradition traces its roots back to before the Renaissance or the Reformation. This book argues for a politics where ones values are acknowledged and where all players in the 'field strive together for wisdom and the general good for society. Churches can be relevant in this. The Political efforts of Christians normally proceed via the diverse political parties. However, the current network society offers Christians the chance to engage in alliances to act as a broad movement. Christian parties can give this movement a political face. It would be good if Christians would also across the borders of political parties seek to cooperate in a network. At European level this is happening in the European Christian Political Movement (ECPM). This book originally was published (in Dutch) in 2016 by the Mr. G. Groen van Prinsterer Stichting, the scientiffic Institute of the ChristenUnie political party which affter the 2017 election again took part in a coalition government, together with VVD, CDA and D66.
