Beschreibung

Lighthouse Myths explores the captivating world of lighthouse folklore, delving into the legends and historical tales surrounding these iconic maritime structures. It examines how lighthouses have evolved into symbols steeped in stories of tragedy, heroism, and even the supernatural. 

 
The book investigates the origins of specific lighthouse myths, tracing them back to maritime disasters, the psychological impact of isolation on keepers, and societal anxieties. For example, tales of cursed lighthouses often stem from real-world shipwrecks and the desire to understand the sea's unpredictable power.

 
The book takes a narrative approach, beginning with the history and technological evolution of lighthouses before transitioning into detailed examinations of prominent legends, such as cursed lighthouses and spectral figures. It also explores cross-cultural variations in lighthouse folklore, comparing myths from different coastal communities worldwide.

 
The book argues that these narratives serve as a repository of cultural memory, reflecting humanity's complex relationship with the ocean and our enduring fascination with the sea's power. It progresses from historical context to specific legends, culminating in a discussion of their enduring appeal in contemporary culture.

    After the discovery of the Americas, several European countries were interested in finding the route, and nations from France to Spain sent out explorers searching for the mysterious route. While these voyages did not reveal the hoped for route, they did result in large parts of both North and South America being mapped, and as more of the new land mass was determined, the parameters of the search for such a route were narrowed. By the 18th century, explorers began to seek such a route to the north, looking for the legendary Northwest Passage.  
    	Eventually, some countries lost interest, but England remained determined, and the masters of the waves continued to send ship after ship and crew after crew across the Atlantic. By the early 19th century, the search was taking expeditions to the Arctic, and each time a team returned to England telling stories of how it was stymied by ice or bad weather, another team confidently went out, certain that it would be the one to make it through.  
    	This ultimately led to the voyage of Captain John Franklin, who left Britain in 1845 for the Arctic in the hopes of completing mapping the Northwest Passage. Instead of returning with spices and silks, Franklin and his men disappeared, leaving behind them a mystery that plagued the English conscience for decades. Ironically, the ill-fated trip only became more legendary when its mystery was solved than it was when it remained a curiosity. It was a tale of ice and cold, starvation and desperation, and a tragically fatal one.  
    	Shackleton’s place in history is not the one he set out to make, but his extraordinary deeds have made his contributions to early exploration of Antarctica indelible. Despite the victor’s wreath eventually going to another, Shackleton’s name is essential to any discussion of Antarctic exploration, based on personal heroism more than logistical triumphs.

    No Longer Welcome - The Epidemic...

    For over fifteen years, researchers have described a crisis in our nations' early learning classrooms. Hundreds of children are expelled from childcare and preschool every day; a rate nearly three times that of kindergarten-twelfth grade students. Each child's expulsion is symptomatic of a larger crisis—an overburdened, underfunded, undervalued, and fragmented early education system. 
     
     
     
    In early childhood, expulsion is the result of a series of adult decisions made within constrained contexts and at times blind to downstream consequences: exhausted and underpaid teachers deciding how to expend their limited attention and energy in a chaotic classroom; administrators on razor-thin budgets deciding among hiring additional personnel, providing high-quality training, or investing in adequate classroom resources; fragmented state agencies separately deciding on standards and policies and allocating funds for early intervention and consultation services. 
     
     
     
    By examining these complex causes, No Longer Welcome starts a critical conversation between and across sectors of the early childhood field. Drawing on her research and interviews with teachers, program administrators, parents, and policymakers, Dr. Zinsser presents the listener with a rich description of the myriad of factors contributing to the expulsion crisis.
