Summary

Maritime Time Capsules explores the captivating world of abandoned lighthouses, examining them as unique "time capsules" that offer invaluable insights into maritime history and a vanishing way of life. More than just navigational aids, these structures represent self-contained communities, each with compelling stories etched into their architecture and the lives of their keepers. The book delves into the evolution of lighthouse technology, from simple signal fires to sophisticated Fresnel lens systems, and highlights the social dynamics of the isolated individuals and families who once inhabited these remote outposts.

 
The book unfolds across three main sections, beginning with an exploration of lighthouse architecture and engineering, detailing construction techniques and technological advancements. It then shifts its focus to the human element, painting a vivid picture of the lives of lighthouse keepers through diaries, letters, and oral histories. Finally, Maritime Time Capsules addresses the present-day challenges these structures face, such as coastal erosion and climate change, ultimately proposing strategies for their preservation through community involvement and sustainable tourism.

 
By combining historical research, on-site analysis, and personal narratives, the book offers a fresh perspective on maritime heritage. The examination of these abandoned lighthouses connects architectural history, environmental studies, and maritime sociology, providing critical lessons about our relationship with the sea and the importance of preserving our maritime heritage for future generations.

Threat Multiplier - Climate...

Sherri Goodman

Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. More than thirty years ago, Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon's first chief environmental officer. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment. And yet, today, the military has moved from an environmental laggard to a clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat—from hurricanes and forest fires, to competition for increasingly scarce food and water, to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games, disaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases. 
 
 
 
What was the key to this dramatic change in military thinking? What keeps today's generals and admirals up at night? How can we safeguard our national defense and our planet? No one is better poised to answer these questions than Sherri Goodman, who was at the vanguard of environmental leadership among our armed forces and civilian representatives. In Threat Multiplier, she tells the inside story of the military's fight for global security, a tale that is as hopeful as it is harrowing.
