Sinossi

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.

Thomas Cromwell: England's...

Heather Teysko

Welcome to Thomas Cromwell: England's Mastermind, an introduction into one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of Tudor England. Over the course of this series, we’ll explore Cromwell’s journey from a blacksmith’s son in Putney to the heights of power as King Henry VIII’s chief minister. Cromwell’s story is one of ambition, ingenuity, and risk—qualities that reshaped the English church, monarchy, and society in ways that still resonate today. 
Cromwell was not a nobleman by birth, but his keen intellect and strategic thinking brought him to the center of the Tudor court, a place where ambition could be both a blessing and a curse. He helped Henry VIII break from Rome, orchestrated the dissolution of the monasteries, and navigated the dangerous waters of court politics. Yet, for all his successes, Cromwell’s rise came at a cost: he made powerful enemies, took extraordinary risks, and ultimately faced a dramatic fall from grace.

Side Affects - On Being Trans...

Hil Malatino

Some days—or weeks, or months, or even years—being trans feels bad. Yet as Hil Malatino points out, there is little space for trans people to think through, let alone speak of, these bad feelings. Negative emotions are suspect because they unsettle narratives of acceptance or reinforce virulently phobic framings of trans as inauthentic and threatening. 
 
 
 
In Side Affects, Malatino opens a new conversation about trans experience that acknowledges the reality of feeling fatigue, envy, burnout, numbness, and rage amid the ongoing onslaught of casual and structural transphobia in order to map the intricate emotional terrain of trans survival. Trans structures of feeling are frequently coded as negative on both sides of transition. Before transition, narratives are framed in terms of childhood trauma and being in the "wrong body." Post transition, trans individuals—especially trans people of color—are subject to unrelenting transantagonism. 
 
 
 
By moving these unloved feelings to the center of trans experience, Side Affects proposes an affective trans commons that exists outside political debates about inclusion. Acknowledging such powerful and elided feelings as anger and exhaustion, Malatino contends, is critical to motivating justice-oriented advocacy and organizing—and recalibrating new possibilities for survival and well-being.
