Synopsis

Most Isolated Beacons explores the captivating history of remote lighthouses and the extraordinary lives of those who maintained them. The book delves into the architectural marvels that served as beacons of hope in extreme environments and examines the profound impact of isolation on lighthouse keepers and their families. You'll discover how these structures, often located in the most inaccessible corners of the world, played a crucial role in maritime navigation, safeguarding ships and enabling global commerce.

 
 The book progresses by first introducing the historical significance of remote lighthouses, then examining advancements in lighthouse design and technology. It further explores the daily routines and psychological coping mechanisms of the keepers who endured prolonged solitude. Through historical records and personal diaries, Most Isolated Beacons offers a unique perspective, combining technical descriptions with intimate portraits, highlighting human resilience and the psychological effects of extreme isolation.

    A memoir of coming of age behind the counter, exploring butchery as an art form and taking an incisive look at an industry on the brink. 
    When sixteen-year-old Jessica Wragg applied for a job at her local farm shop in Derbyshire, England, she never expected to land a position behind the butchery counter. Wragg was younger than many of her colleagues by decades and she was one of the few women on staff, struggling to earn her keep among colleagues who were reluctant to share the tricks of their trade with a novice. Breaking down carcasses by day, and studying animal anatomy by night, Wragg was soon hooked and determined to establish herself in an industry that is steeped in tradition, and often resistant to change.  
    From the English countryside to the streets of London, Girl on the Block blends Wragg’s personal coming of age story with a lyrical exploration of her craft and a rich history of butchery. She also examines the modern meat industry and the ever-changing ideologies around ethical meat consumption, as an often-conflicted carnivore who has spent time in an abattoir and witnessed slaughter firsthand. A raw tour through one of the world’s oldest, dirtiest, and most fascinating professions, Girl on the Block is Wragg’s tale of returning home with blood on her boots at the end of fourteen-hour days and finding her way in the end.
