Beschreibung

Famous Lighthouse Rescues explores the unsung heroism of lighthouse keepers and their vital role in maritime safety. Beyond being navigational aids, lighthouses served as lifelines, especially during periods with limited communication. The book details how these keepers bravely intervened during shipwrecks and nautical disasters, often risking their own lives.

 
It highlights the evolution of lighthouse technology and the demanding lives of the keepers and their families. The book presents detailed accounts of specific rescues, meticulously researched using logbooks, reports, and personal stories. It begins with the construction and operation of lighthouses, then moves into the daily lives of keepers before diving into the heart of the matter: dramatic rescues.

 
One intriguing fact is the resourcefulness keepers displayed, often acting as the sole source of assistance for ships in distress. These acts of bravery significantly reduced maritime casualties and shaped safer sea travel.

 
By focusing on the human element and detailed rescue accounts, Famous Lighthouse Rescues offers a unique perspective on maritime history and coastal heritage. It's structured to provide both historical context and compelling narratives, making it valuable for maritime enthusiasts and anyone interested in stories of bravery. The book incorporates photographs and illustrations to create a vivid visual representation of the lighthouses and the conditions under which these rescues took place.

    In everything from health care and politics to technology and economics, we are experiencing feelings of loss, anger, and anxiety. In the Enneagram's wisdom, our number determines how we respond. We automatically move to another number when we're feeling stress and to yet another when we're feeling secure. Such moves may help us feel better temporarily but don't last. 
     
     
     
    For those who want to dive deeper into Enneagram wisdom, expert teacher Suzanne Stabile opens the concept of three Centers of Intelligence: thinking, feeling, and doing. When we learn to manage these centers, each for its intended purpose, we open a path to reducing fear, improving relationships, growing spiritually, and finding wholeness. Drawing on the dynamic stability of the Enneagram, she explains each number's preferred and repressed Center of Intelligence and its role in helping us move toward internal balance. Using brief focused chapters, this book provides what we need to deal with the constant change and complexity of our world to achieve lasting transformation in our lives.

    Sabotage! - An In-Depth...

    On the night of July 4, 1943, transport aircraft Liberator AL523 took off from Gibraltar's North Front tarmac and within moments crashed into the sea with only one survivor, the pilot. The commander-in-chief of the Polish army and prime minister of the Polish government-in-exile, General Wladyslaw Sikorski, was dead. 
     
     
     
    Rumors as to the cause of the crash abounded. Was it pilot error? Was it, as officially classified, merely an accident, or was it, as the authors conclude in this riveting and meticulous study, an act of sabotage? 
     
     
     
    In this extensive piece of research, Chris Wroblewski and Garth Barnard examine numerous primary sources, including the complete court of inquiry transcripts, produce detailed analysis of aircraft components and systems, and unearth many little-known eyewitness accounts to give this investigation a compelling conclusion. Within the book the authors also dispel several conspiracy theories that have emerged since this catastrophe; particularly that this event was a disastrous assassination attempt with blame on the British, Soviets, and Nazis. 
     
     
     
    This is an exhaustive piece of investigative journalism that puts the record straight once and for all.

    It is not often that an author and his editor strike up a relationship which survives forty years of epistolary exchanges and intellectual sparring.  
    The strangely enduring and occasionally fractious friendship which developed between the famously outspoken historian Ramachandra Guha and his reticent editor Rukun Advani is the subject of this quite eccentric and thoroughly compelling literary memoir. 
    It started in Delhi in the early 1980s, when Guha was an unpublished PhD scholar, and Advani a greenhorn editor with Oxford University Press. It blossomed through the 1990s, when Guha grew into a pioneering historian of the environment and of cricket, while also writing his pathbreaking biography of Verrier Elwin. Over these years Advani was Guha’s most constant confidant, his most reliable reader. He encouraged him to craft and refine the literary style for which Guha became internationally known – narrative histories which have made vast areas of scholarship popular and accessible. 
    Four decades later, though he no longer publishes his books, Advani remains Guha’s most trusted literary adviser. Yet they also disagree ferociously on politics, human nature, and the shape of their commitment to India. They usually make up – because it just wouldn’t do to allow such an odd relationship to die. 
    Built around letters and emails between an outgoing and occasionally combative scholar and a reclusive editor prone to private outbursts of savage sarcasm, this book is never short of the kind of wit, humour, and drollery that has been strangled by contemporary political correctness. 
    In THE COOKING OF BOOKS, Ramachandra Guha presents an autobiography that is a testament to the power of reading, criticism, and language in shaping personal and historical narratives. It's a best-seller in the non-fiction genre, offering a unique perspective on the disciplines of the publishing industry in Asia. 
    For fans of Ron Chernow (Titan), Amartya Sen (Home in the World), Jonathan Eig (Ali), Walter Isaacson (Invent and Wander), and Sanjeev Sanyal (Land of seven rivers).

    “An expansive, transformative, and empowering book [that] shares the history of the witch, her magick, and persecution with reverence and respect . . . You will come to understand the witch and her world in a way that feels personal and inviting.” —Gabriela Herstik, author of Bewitching the Elements and Inner Witch   Traveling through cities and sites across Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Kristen J. Sollée explores the places and people significant to the early modern legacy of the witch.    Between the 15th and 17th centuries, a confluence of political, economic, and religious factors ignited a wildfire of witch hysteria in Europe and, later, in parts of America. At the heart of these witch hunts were often dangerous misconceptions about femininity and female sexuality, and women were disproportionately punished as a result. Today, this lineage of oppression remains a vital reference point in the fight for women’s rights—and human rights—in the Western world and beyond.   By infusing an adventurous first-person narrative with extensive research and moments of imaginative historical fiction, Sollée makes an often-overlooked period of history come alive. Written for armchair travelers and on-the-ground explorers alike, Witch Huntnot only uncovers the horrors of history but also reveals how the archetype of the witch has been rehabilitated. For witches are not just haunting figures of the past; the witch is also a liberatory icon and identity of the present.           In this paperback edition, the author has included a new afterword and updated the travel resources section.
