Beschreibung

Lighthouse Escapes unveils the untold stories of lighthouse keepers, illuminating their vital role in maritime history and safety. These individuals faced extreme isolation and perilous conditions to maintain beacons of navigation, ensuring safe passage for countless ships. The book explores the psychological impact of solitude on these keepers, highlighting their remarkable human resilience in the face of relentless storms and the constant threat of shipwrecks.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with an introduction to the daily routines and lighthouse structures, then delving into dramatic survival accounts drawn from logbooks and oral histories, and culminating with the automation of lighthouses. By focusing on the North Atlantic region, the book provides a deep dive into specific historical events and environmental challenges.

 
Through a combination of historical facts and compelling personal accounts, Lighthouse Escapes offers a unique perspective on the intersection of human endurance and technological advancement within the context of maritime history.

    Fostering children is a way of providing a temporary family for children who cannot live with their own parents. Fostering can be a rewarding and challenging experience for both the foster carers and the children. There are many reasons why children may need foster care, such as abuse, neglect, family breakdown, illness, or disability.  
    Foster carers are people who have the skills, patience, and compassion to care for children who have experienced trauma and loss. They offer a safe and nurturing environment where children can heal and grow. Foster carers receive training, support, and financial assistance from the fostering agency or local authority that places the children with them.  
    They work as part of a team with social workers, therapists, teachers, and other professionals to meet the needs of the children. Foster carers can choose the type of fostering that suits them best, such as short-term, long-term, emergency, respite, or specialist fostering. They can also specify the age range and number of children they can care for.  
    Fostering is not a permanent arrangement, and the goal is usually to reunite the children with their birth families or find them an alternative permanent home. However, some foster carers may adopt the children they foster if that is in their best interest. Fostering can make a positive difference in the lives of children and foster carers alike. 
    Fostering children can have many benefits, such as making a positive difference in their lives, learning new skills and expanding your family. However, fostering children can also have many challenges, such as dealing with emotional and behavioural issues, coping with loss and attachment, and balancing your own needs and responsibilities.  
    If you are interested in fostering children, you should contact your local fostering agency or social services department to find out more about the process, the requirements and the support available.
