Synopsis

Deadliest Beacons explores the dramatic history of lighthouses in the world's most treacherous waters, blending maritime history with tales of human resilience. These coastal sentinels, more than just navigational aids, spurred economic expansion by reducing shipwrecks and facilitating safer trade routes.

 
The book details the evolution of lighthouse design, from simple bonfires to complex engineering marvels designed to withstand brutal weather, highlighting the ingenuity required to conquer the untamed power of the sea. The book progresses through the historical context of lighthouse development, presents case studies of specific lighthouses built in dangerous locations, and concludes with an analysis of technological advancements.

 
Examining structures like the Eddystone Lighthouse, it sheds light on the unique engineering solutions and the impact these beacons had on coastal communities. These beacons stand as historical landmarks and a testament to the dedication of lighthouse keepers, the unsung heroes who braved isolation and peril to ensure the safety of countless ships.

    Smelling the Breezes is an inspiring family adventure, a three-hundred-mile walk down the spine of the Lebanon with four children, two donkeys and Elias, the family's gardener, nursemaid and friend. The journey took them over towering passes, through immense gorges and into the lives of mountain villages and highland herdsmen. The presence of four small but redoubtable blonde children proved a passport at every door, whatever the politics, religion or ethnicity of the household. Smelling the Breezes is a magnificent portrait of Lebanon in all its rich complexity and easy charm: broken castles, hashish smugglers, clan feuds, festivals, forgotten temples, secretive headquarters and hospitable sheikhs.

    “[An] entertaining and savory gastronomical history of the cuisine of Italy and how it won over appetites worldwide.” —USA TodayNot so long ago, Italian food was regarded as a poor man's gruel—little more than pizza, macaroni with sauce, and red wines in a box. Here, John Mariani shows how the Italian immigrants to America created, through perseverance and sheer necessity, an Italian-American food culture, and how it became a global obsession. The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs.Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge.With savory anecdotes from these top chefs and restaurateurs:Danny MeyerTony MantuanoMichael ChiarelloGiada de LaurentiisGiuseppe CiprianiNigella LawsonAnd the trials and triumphs of these restaurants:Da SilvanoSpiaggiaBottegaUnion Square CaféMaialinoRao'sBabboIl Cantinori“Mariani captures the history and elemental beauty of a cuisine that really does seem to appeal to more palates than any other . . . you owe it to yourself to read this book.” —Las Vegas Weekly
