Beschreibung

Hidden Lighthouses explores the captivating stories of the world's most remote and often forgotten beacons, unveiling their historical significance and the architectural ingenuity required to build them in isolated locations. These lighthouses, silent sentinels along treacherous coastlines, represent humanity's persistent effort to conquer geographical barriers.

 
The book highlights not only the evolution of maritime navigation but also the resilience of lighthouse keepers, individuals who dedicated their lives to maintaining these vital lights. The book delves into the challenges of constructing these structures, focusing on unique architectural techniques and material sourcing. It also examines the daily routines and social isolation experienced by the keepers, shedding light on the psychological impact of their environment.

 
Through archival records, personal diaries, and historical photographs, the book adopts a narrative non-fiction style to present factual information within a compelling storytelling framework, making maritime history and social history accessible to a broad audience interested in history and travel.

 
The book progresses by first defining what constitutes a hidden lighthouse, then examining the architectural challenges, the lives of the keepers, and the cultural significance of these beacons.

 
Ultimately, Hidden Lighthouses argues that these remote structures are both historical feats of engineering and symbols of human endurance, reflecting a commitment to maritime safety and exploration at great personal cost.

    Liberty or Justice for All? brings to life four of America's greatest thinkers, whose dialogue across the ages has never been more relevant. Philip F. Gura begins his nimble tale with Jonathan Edwards, a fiery preacher who insisted that God would reward those who embraced social cooperation. One generation later, the Founding Fathers grounded their own project of civic renewal in rights and freedom. But if every citizen is guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, does this mean America is a nation where the individual reigns supreme? 
     
     
     
    America's young democracy soon found its prophet in Ralph Waldo Emerson, who preached a gospel of self-reliance, small government, and self-improvement. But with the coming of the Civil War, Emerson's triumphant individual became a cog in a vast war machine. Radical technological transformations convinced the psychologist-turned-philosopher William James that the self was more fragmented and fragile than Emerson believed. He found virtue in pluralism and diversity, seeing selfishness as the cardinal sin. Two world wars and several failed revolutions later, John Rawls, shaken by the divisions of Vietnam, sought to establish a new secular foundation for social cooperation. Over time, we have sought to hold these opposing value systems in delicate balance, promising both liberty and justice for all.

    A comprehensive guide for understanding how narcissism on social media impacts our mental health, how to protect ourselves and our children from those affects as well as from narcissists, and how to use social media more mindfully. 
     
    The Facebook Narcissist is the first book dedicated to exploring the relationship between narcissism and social media. Lena Derhally, a licensed psychotherapist certified in Imago therapy, delves into how social media enhances individual and cultural narcissism and how it may create or exacerbate toxic narcissistic  
    tendencies in people who use it. Using her clinical expertise, along with scientific research and interviews with other experts in the field, she thoroughly examines:  
    how narcissism on social media contributes to false narratives and ruptures relationships; how to identify a narcissist on social media (including how to spot the more subtle sub-types of narcissist, such as the covert, communal, and collective narcissist); how narcissism relates to the “influencer” and celebrity  
    culture; narcissism and cyberbullying, cyberstalking, trolling, and victim blaming on social media; narcissism related to racism and politics on social media; the ways social media can create a problem of narcissism in children as they grow up, the implications of "sharenting"; and more. Readers will discover case studies and  
    real examples of narcissists and how they present on social media. 
     
    Derhally’s expertise in cultivating healthy, fulfilling, and connected relationships helps guide readers to take a deeper look at their behaviors on social media and of those around them. At the end of each chapter, she gives practical tips and takeaways for navigating narcissism online. Since abandoning our devices is  
    impractical and not likely, this book will help readers understand how to use social media in a balanced way that inspires fulfillment and connection instead of the entitlement, attention-seeking, and lack of empathy that is at the heart of narcissism. Derhally also instructs readers on how they may use social media for  
    good, and as a tool for positive social change. Social media is here to stay, but with education and awareness on how it makes us and the world more narcissistic, we can change the narrative and focus on the ways in which social media can be positive, and even improve the world for the better.
