Synopsis

Lighthouse Shipwrecks explores the paradox of maritime disasters occurring even with the guidance of lighthouses, those stalwart beacons of the sea. Rather than focusing solely on lighthouses as symbols of safety, this book investigates instances where human error, environmental factors, and technological limits converged to cause tragedy.

 
One intriguing fact is that even with advancements in navigational technology, unpredictable events like rogue waves and sudden storms could still overwhelm ships. Another insight reveals how misjudgment or fatigue among crew members often played a critical role in these disasters.

 
The book begins by tracing the evolution of lighthouses and then delves into specific case studies, analyzing each wreck through the lens of navigation, human factors, and environmental conditions. Examples of chapters include examinations of disasters near lighthouses, analyses of failures, and explorations of mysterious cases, all offering lessons from the past.

 
By examining inquiry reports, survivor accounts, and nautical charts, the book reveals the complex interplay of factors that led to maritime accidents near these supposed safeguards. It challenges the assumption of lighthouses' infallibility and emphasizes the need for a nuanced understanding of maritime risk management.

    After seven decades of existence has the UN become obsolete? As Jussi Hanhimäki proves in the second edition of this Very Short Introduction, the answer is no. The UN remains an indispensable organization that continues to save lives and improve the world as its founders hoped. Since its original publication in 2008, this edition includes more recent examples of the UN Security Council in action and peacekeeping efforts while exploring its most recent successes and failures.After a brief history of the United Nations and its predecessor, the League of Nations, Hanhimäki examines the UN's successes and failures as a guardian of international peace and security, as a promoter of human rights, as a protector of international law, and as an engineer of socio-economic development. This updated edition highlights what continues to make the UN a complicated organization today, and the ongoing challenges between its ambitions and capabilities. Hanhimäki also provides a clear account of the UN and its various arms and organizations (such as UNESCO and UNICEF), and offers a critical overview of the UN Security Council's involvement in recent crises in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine, Libya, and Syria, and how likely it is to meet its overall goals in the future.Regardless of its obstacles, the UN is likely to survive for the foreseeable future. That alone makes trying to understand the UN in all its manifold—magnificent and frustrating—complexity a worthy task. With this much-needed updated introduction to the UN, Jussi Hanhimäki engages the current debate over the organization's effectiveness as he provides a clear understanding of how it was originally conceived, how it has come to its present form, and how it must confront new challenges in a rapidly changing world.

    The Garden State After the Great War
    Post–World War I life was dramatically different for New Jersey than it had been prior to the war. By 1920, the war was over for the Europeans, but it was still on for America until President Harding signed a paper in a local living room after a golf game. Harding's out-of-wedlock child was born in Asbury Park, and Atlantic City began the beauty contest that would become Miss America. Prohibition hit what was an unwilling state, and the governor tried to keep New Jersey liquor legally flowing, while bootleggers and rumrunners made illegal liquor generally available. Joseph Bilby and Harry Ziegler detail this frenetic era in the Garden State.

    Listen as Bo Peabody, author of "Lucky or Smart?" and entrepreneur extraordinaire, discuss the businesses he started, how he was able to make them successful, and the place that intelligence, hard work and a little bit of good fortune have in the process. As Bo explains: “My formula for getting lucky in business is reasonably simple: Start a company that fundamentally innovative, morally compelling, and philosophically positive. Create and aura of authenticity around your start-up by carefully crafting your mission and communicating it with charisma and passion. Our company will quickly attract smart, inspired people who will work very hard. Treat all these people fairly. Provide them with a clear action plan and give them the latitude to exercise their creativity. The result: serendipity, luck, success, and, ultimately, money. And the only smart thing about this formula is that I understand that on a day-to-day basis my brain has very little to do with any of it.”
