Sinossi

Beacons in the Fog explores the rich history and ingenious technology of lighthouses, those vital structures that have guided ships through perilous waters for centuries. From simple signal fires to sophisticated systems, the book traces the evolution of these maritime guardians.One intriguing aspect is the development of the Fresnel lens, which revolutionized lighthouse illumination by magnifying light into a focused beam visible from great distances. It also highlights the implementation of fog signals, like foghorns, which used sound to warn ships during periods of low visibility, further enhancing maritime safety.The book integrates historical narratives with technical explanations, offering a comprehensive understanding of lighthouse development. It progresses chronologically, starting with early maritime signaling and culminating in the age of GPS, examining the design and technology advancements that met increasing navigational demands.From the engineering feats to the dedicated keepers, Beacons in the Fog emphasizes the human element behind these iconic landmarks, demonstrating how innovative engineering mitigated natural perils and facilitated safer sea travel.

    Did the State of Kentucky convict an innocent man? Moments before boarding a passenger flight on 11 May 2019 as the first officer, pilot Christian "Kit" Martin, a former army ranger, was arrested by a swarm of heavily armed officers for the murders of three of his neighbors. The arrest captured global attention as Martin's mugshot, clad in a pilot's uniform, spread across the internet, sparking a media firestorm with headlines such as "Monster in the Cockpit." A combat helicopter pilot, Kit Martin had seen his life unravel after seeking a divorce.

I WILL RUIN YOU: The Twisted Truth Behind the Kit Martin Murder Trial delves into the complex circumstances behind Martin’s story. It looks beyond the sensational headlines and legal turmoil into the heart of this controversial case. With an investigative journalist’s eye, author Emilio Corsetti III presents the facts of the crime that led to the arrest and the extraordinary lengths used to secure a conviction in this unforgettable true crime page-turner.

    Less rush. More freedom. A way to love writing again.  
    If modern indie publishing feels like a high-stress race to the bottom, the good news is there’s another way. 
    Most authors start writing for the love of it, but in recent years the reality of “writing for a living” has soured. Now, for a lot of us, it no longer looks fun — or creatively fulfilling — at all. 
    You have to obey genres exactly or your books won’t sell. If you step outside your lane and try something new, the kinds of readers most authors court will never buy it. And then there’s the SPEED of it all: The rules of “Rapid Release” say you have to publish a book every month — at least — or you’ll never survive. Forget about taking a vacation. Time off will let the algorithms forget you. 
    In The Artisan Author, industry veteran Johnny B. Truant offers an alternative to Rapid Release: a new way to succeed as an author without sacrificing your freedom, worrying about competition or AI, or fearing you’ll lose everything when the winds — or the algorithms — inevitably change. 
    The way of the Artisan Author is the opposite of Rapid Release. Instead of rushing to churn out the same-old same-old, Artisans follow their muse and write whatever they want. Instead of stressing out, Artisans take their time, putting as much care and beauty into their work as they desire. It’s a way to build a substantial, sustainable, bulletproof income based on Kevin Kelly’s idea of “1000 True Fans”: readers who are loyal to you, not any platform. True Fans are all you need to earn as much as you want as an author. They’re people with whom you build genuine human connections … and who therefore love you enough to spend far more than ordinary readers will ever spend.
