Sinossi

Famous Beacon Lights explores the captivating history and enduring significance of lighthouses, those silent guardians that have guided ships through treacherous waters for centuries. Beyond their crucial role in maritime navigation and maritime safety, these structures represent remarkable feats of engineering and human resilience. 

 
The book delves into the evolution of lighthouse technology, from simple signal fires to sophisticated automated systems, showcasing how these beacon lights have prevented countless maritime disasters and facilitated global trade. One intriguing fact is that the Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, served as a model for lighthouses for centuries to come. 

 
The book uniquely combines technical details with the personal narratives of the lighthouse keepers who dedicated their lives to these vital structures. Through historical records, maritime logs, and personal accounts, the book examines renowned lighthouses around the globe, such as the Eddystone Lighthouse and the Fastnet Rock Lighthouse, detailing their construction, operation, and the historical events they witnessed. 

 
It progresses from the earliest forms of maritime signaling to an analysis of the impact of automation and modern navigation systems, considering the continuing relevance of these historical landmarks in the age of GPS.

Tarot for the Hard Work - An...

Maria Minnis, Rashunda Tramble

Tarot has always been a powerful guide for introspection and inner work, so what better tool to use when we're ready to do the really hard work? Author Maria Minnis takes a radical new look at the Major Arcana in this tarot workbook, which provides listeners a unique, personal understanding of systemic racism—and what steps we can take to begin to dismantle it. This book says tarot can be a tool for action, one that may offer great satisfaction as well as great difficulty, all while pushing you out of your comfort zone. 
 
 
  
You'll explore the Major Arcana to uncover how each archetype can help cultivate a freer, anti-racist world. It will consider the upright, or benevolent, aspects of each card and how listeners can use those themes to dismantle internalized racism, racism in our relationships, and racism in our communities. As you move from the Fool to the World card, you'll discover that everything we do ripples beyond us, and that there are practical ways to change our actions and perspectives. 
 
 
  
This is a book that speaks to both white and BIPOC audiences. The author addresses the human community as a whole and how racism affects our relationships to each other, to our communities, and to our institutions. This book addresses how the energy can be turned around into self-awareness, self-love, and positive action.

The Magical Game - The Spirit...

Addy Baird

This is the story of baseball’s rich magical history and the centuries-old culture of superstition in the sport. It is a love letter to the jinxes, curses, rituals and myths of baseball’s past and present ― and to the innate mysticism of the game.
 

 
For more than 150 years, a magical culture has been central to the game of baseball: At the turn of the 20th century, a battle between two lucky mascots defined early World Series matchups. Soon after, two generational curses spawned decades of heartbreaking losses for the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox. Today, players like Bryce Harper perform at-bat rituals, fans refuse to wash the jerseys of their favorite players, and baseball people everywhere refuse to utter the words “no-hitter” before there’s been a hit.
 

 
In The Magical Game, journalist and converted baseball fan Addy Baird turns her reporter’s eye to her favorite sport, investigating the roots of these magical practices and telling the story of baseball’s long history of superstition, rituals, curses, jinxes, hoodoos, and hexes. Spanning three centuries of baseball history and three dozen more of magical history, Baird takes readers through fascinating, forgotten tidbits in the sport, untangles the game’s legends, and considers baseball’s uncertain future. In the face of recent MLB rule changes and the rise of advanced statistics, Baird looks at the many decades of concern about baseball’s declining popularity and the evolution of the sport, as well as why and how a culture of magic has remained strong at the core of the game for so many years.
 

 
Funny, poetic, and deeply researched, The Magical Game will make readers fall in love with baseball all over again.
