Beschreibung

Lighthouse: Beacon of History and Light is a tribute to fifty-one iconic lighthouses from around the world, blending architectural wonder, maritime history, and human resilience. These towering beacons have guided sailors through storms and darkness for centuries, from ancient wonders like the Pharos of Alexandria and the Tower of Hercules to the rugged Fastnet Rock in Ireland. The book explores not only their unique designs and cultural significance but also the lives of the keepers who tended them under harsh, isolated conditions. Each lighthouse tells a story of innovation, endurance, and connection to the sea. More than navigational aids, lighthouses symbolize strength, guidance, and hope in both literal and metaphorical storms. Though many are now automated or retired, they continue to inspire and mark coastlines as monuments of history and human determination. This book invites readers on a journey through time, across oceans, and into the enduring legacy of these maritime sentinels.

    Hegel's Theory of Intelligibility

    Hegel’s Theory of Intelligibility picks up on recent revisionist readings of Hegel to offer a productive new interpretation of his notoriously difficult work, the Science of Logic. Rocío Zambrana transforms the revisionist tradition by distilling the theory of normativity that Hegel elaborates in the Science of Logic within the context of his signature treatment of negativity, unveiling how both features of his system of thought operate on his theory of intelligibility.              Zambrana clarifies crucial features of Hegel’s theory of normativity previously thought to be absent from the argument of the Science of Logic—what she calls normative precariousness and normative ambivalence. She shows that Hegel’s theory of determinacy views intelligibility as both precarious, the result of practices and institutions that gain and lose authority throughout history, and ambivalent, accommodating opposite meanings and valences even when enjoying normative authority. In this way, Zambrana shows that the Science of Logic provides the philosophical justification for the necessary historicity of intelligibility. Intervening in several recent developments in the study of Kant, Hegel, and German Idealism more broadly, this book provides a productive new understanding of the value of Hegel’s systematic ambitions.

    In the early 1960s, the head of a prominent New York City Child Development Center and a psychiatrist from Columbia University launched a study designed to track the development of twins and triplets given up for adoption and raised by different families. The controversial and disturbing catch? None of the adoptive parents had been told that they were raising a twin—the study's investigators insisted that the separation be kept secret. Here, Nancy Segal reveals the inside stories of the agency that separated the twins, and the collaborating psychiatrists who, along with their cadre of colleagues, observed the twins until they turned twelve. 
     
     
     
    Interviews with colleagues, friends, and family members of the agency's psychiatric consultant and the study's principal investigator, as well as a former agency administrator, research assistants, journalists, ethicists, attorneys, and—most importantly—the twins and their families who were unwitting participants in this controversial study, are riveting. Through records, letters, and other documents, Segal further discloses the investigators' attempts to engage other agencies in separating twins, their efforts to avoid media exposure, their worries over informed consent issues in the 1970s, and the steps taken toward avoiding lawsuits while hoping to enjoy the fruits of publication.
