Summary

Sunken Beacons explores the hidden world of lighthouses lost to the sea, examining these maritime landmarks as symbols of humanity's ongoing struggle against coastal erosion and the growing threat of climate change. These structures, once beacons of hope and navigation, now serve as underwater monuments, offering unique insights into both our engineering triumphs and environmental oversights. The book uncovers intriguing facts, like how some lighthouses succumbed not only to natural forces but also to engineering miscalculations, revealing a complex interplay of factors leading to their demise.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical significance and geographical distribution of these "sunken beacons," then moves to analyze specific case studies, highlighting construction details, operational histories, and the engineering flaws that contributed to their collapse. It further examines the impact of rising sea levels, connecting historical data with contemporary climate science. This approach blends historical research with underwater archaeology, enhancing the book's value by presenting a narrative that is both informative and engaging for a broad audience interested in history, travel, and environmental issues.

    Scout Camp - Sex Death and...

    In the summer of 1995, at the largest Boy Scout camp in Ohio, a night of sexual violence ended with one counselor dead and another hospitalized. The death was ruled "accidental." It wouldn't be the last death associated with Seven Ranges Reservation. 
 
 
 
James Renner, too, was a counselor at Seven Ranges that year. He was always sure there must be more to the story of Mike Klingler's death, because Renner also knew firsthand that the 900-acre camp was not the safe getaway it was portrayed to be. On Friday nights the boys were ushered into the woods for a frightening ceremony in which they learned the rules for becoming good young men—and, above all, that keeping secrets was a scout's duty. No matter how dark the secrets were. 
 
 
 
Determined to face his demons, Renner embarks on a journey back to that tumultuous summer and exposes a clandestine society that left indelible scars on the scouts and the staff who were there. For Renner himself, it meant opening up about his twisted upbringing, his issues with trust and sexuality, and a lifetime of self-medication. The result is a deeply personal, no-holds-barred, and vitally important true crime memoir.
