Sinossi

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.

    Ghost Writing Gold: Strike Gold When You Learn How to Hire the Best Ghostwriter For You! 
    When you hire a writer for your eBook, what you are doing is enlisting the services of a ghostwriter. A ghostwriter is a writer who publishes under someone else's name, with the consent of both parties. Traditionally, ghostwriters have been and are still today hired by celebrities to write autobiographies when the celebrities are not talented writers. Ghostwriters also sometimes create works for well-known authors, such as Tom Clancy. This practice is done for business reasons, because the author's name alone will sell the books, no matter who actually wrote them. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn why eBooks are great ways to earn money these days and if you don’t have a talent for writing, you can employ the services of ghost writers that will help you write them. 
    This audiobook will cover the following topics: 
    - How to Select a Great Topic 
    - Where to Find Great Writers 
    - How to Choose the Best Writer For Your Project 
    - And many more! 
    Ultimately you will own the copyright of what the ghostwriter wrote, and you can sell the eBook as many times as you like. If it sounds like a pretty nice arrangement, it is. It's all completely legal and commonly done. To learn more, scroll up and click “add to cart” now!

So imagine the doctor's surprise when his quickie from the woods shows up at his office hungry for more. 
    Dr. Cage wonders if he'll ever fulfill more than sexual desire with a partner when he intakes Austin, who looks even better in person than he does on paper. Their connection is DEEP. Their sex? EPIC. But when a video of their first time together somehow leaks online Hunter worries he may lose the only man he's connected with in a long time. 
    Even worse, what will the therapist's family, friends, and the world think when they see him banging a patient over his desk? Is Dr. Cage about to lose his practice while he goes viral?

    Today, we're stuffed with dietary recommendations from every direction. Social media, advertising, food packaging, diet books, doctors—all have advice on what, how much, and when to eat. This would have been no surprise to ancient Greeks and Romans. Their doctors were intensely interested in food, offered highly prescriptive dietary advice, and developed detailed systems to categorize foods and their health effects. How to Eat is a delectable anthology of Greco-Roman writings on how to eat, exercise, sleep, bathe, and manage your sex life for optimal health. It also gathers ancient opinions on specific foods of all sorts, from how to deploy onions to cure baldness and cabbage to get sober to whether lentils are healthy and why arugula increases your sex drive. 
     
     
     
    With lively new translations by Claire Bubb, How to Eat features voices from medicine, philosophy, natural history, agriculture, and cooking, including Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, Galen, Seneca, Plutarch, and Cato. 
     
     
     
    While medicine and science have obviously changed enormously since the classical world, and some Greco-Roman beliefs about diet now appear hilariously off the mark, How to Eat reveals that much of their advice still resonates—and all of it is fascinating.

    How a band of antislavery leaders recovered the radical philosophical inspirations of the first American Revolution to defeat the slaveholders' oligarchy in the Civil War. 
     
     
     
    In their struggle against the slaveholding oligarchy of their time, America's antislavery leaders found their way back to the rationalist, secularist, and essentially atheist inspiration for the first American Revolution. Frederick Douglass's unusual interest in radical German philosophers and Abraham Lincoln's buried allusions to the same thinkers are but a few of the clues that underlie this propulsive philosophical detective story. With fresh takes on forgotten thinkers like Theodore Parker, the excommunicated Unitarian minister who is the original source of some of Lincoln's most famous lines, Matthew Stewart tells the story of the battle between America's philosophical radicals and the conservative counterrevolution that swept the American republic in the first decades of its existence and persists in new forms up to the present day. In exposing the role of Christian nationalism and the collusion between northern economic elites and slaveholding oligarchs, An Emancipation of the Mind demands a significant revision in our understanding of the origins and meaning of the struggle over slavery in America—and offers a fresh perspective on struggles between democracy and elite power today.
