Sinopse

"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.

    You chose to be an educator because you felt a sense of purpose, a wish to serve—it's not just a profession. 
     
    Teaching is a role that demands emotional presence, relational skill, and boundless energy. If you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and more disconnected from your purpose, then chances are your students are feeling that way too. In The Self-Led Educator, Joanna Curry-Sartori is leading the movement to help teachers and school leaders use the transformative tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reclaim their love of teaching, work compassionately with their own "parts" to better serve students, and build a resilient and connected community. 
     
    Becoming self-led means that your thoughts, emotions, and actions will be guided by the core self, rather than your reactive impulses, self-protective tendencies, or desire to people-please. Curry-Sartori will help you identify the root causes of collective stress, student disengagement, and interpersonal conflict at school, while also providing proven tools to prioritize your own mental health and emotional well-being. Let this powerful book be your guide to becoming a more calm, clear, compassionate, creative, curious, and connected educator. You can lead your school community toward excellence . . . starting with yourself.

    From the chief medical correspondent of ABC News, an eloquent, heartbreaking, yet hopeful memoir of surviving the suicide of a loved one, examining this dangerous epidemic and offering first-hand knowledge and advice to help family and friends find peace. 
    Jennifer Ashton, M.D., has witnessed firsthand the impact of a loved one’s suicide. When her ex-husband killed himself soon after their divorce, her world—and that of her children—was shattered. Though she held a very public position with one of the world’s largest media companies, she was hesitant to speak about the personal trauma that she and her family experienced following his death. A woman who addresses the public regularly on intimate health topics, she was uncertain of revealing her devastating loss—the most painful thing she’d ever experienced. But with the high-profile suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, Dr. Ashton recognized the importance of talking about her experience and the power of giving voice to her grief. She shared her story with her Good Morning America family on air—an honest, heartbreaking revelation that provided comfort and solace to others, like her and her family, who have been left behind.  
    In Life After Suicide, she opens up completely for the first time, hoping that her experience and words can inspire those faced with the unthinkable to persevere. Part memoir and part comforting guide that incorporates the latest insights from researchers and health professionals, Life After Suicide is both a call to arms against this dangerous, devastating epidemic, and an affecting story of personal grief and loss. In addition, Dr. Ashton includes stories from others who have survived the death of a loved one by their own hand, showing how they survived the unthinkable and demonstrating the vital roles that conversation and community play in recovering from the suicide of a loved one. The end result is a raw and revealing exploration of a subject that’s been taboo for far too long, providing support, information, and comfort for those attempting to make sense of their loss and find a way to heal.

    Winter 1969. Rupert Murdoch, newly arrived in Britain, has bought The Sun and the News of the World, immediately provoking outrage by serialising the sensational memoirs of Christine Keeler. Watching him being interviewed on television, two men hatch a plot to kidnap Murdoch's wife for a million-pound ransom.
    But the plan goes wrong.
    Following Murdoch's Rolls-Royce to a house in Wimbledon, they are unaware that he has gone to Australia for Christmas and loaned the car to his friend and colleague, Alick McKay. On Monday, 29 December 1969, Alick arrives home to find his wife, Muriel, has vanished.

Presenting a wealth of new information and, for the first time, a possible solution, A Desperate Business is a meticulous and sensitive account of a tragedy. It is a story of greed, unimaginable cruelty, and newspaper rivalry, but most of all, the story of an adored woman who never came home.

    The respected Italian economist and journalist offers a bold and provocative argument that the speed of technological transformation is threatening our future 
     
     
     
    At the dawn of the digital revolution, the internet was going to be the great equalizer, a global democratic force. Instead, Wall Street ended up funding a new breed of serial capitalists, the Techtitans, who embraced rapid, transformational change while stripping their workers of rights and enriching themselves beyond anybody's wildest imagination; and the Space Barons, who mine new frontiers for precious resources. 
     
     
     
    Tech pioneers like Google, Facebook, Apple, Uber, and Microsoft never had any intention of spreading democracy. Those who control and own the technology are the absolute masters. As artificial intelligence enters the labor market, companies like Uber are able to cut labor costs to the barest of minimums, by squeezing workers' privileges and rights. 
     
      
     
    Technological transformation is occurring at a speed that is existentially unbearable for most of us. We must fight for our common good to address today's real challenges of global warming and militarism and the soulessness of capitalist endeavor. Napoleoni shows us how.
