Sinopsis

War and Lighthouses reveals the untold stories of how these coastal sentinels played significant roles in military conflicts. Far from being mere navigational aids, lighthouses were integral to naval warfare, serving as crucial communication hubs and observation posts. Their strategic importance meant they were often targets, highlighting the intersection of military strategy, technology, and maritime history.

 
The book explores how lighthouses were adapted for wartime use, from early naval strategies to modern maritime security. For example, they facilitated covert signaling and aided in tracking enemy vessels. The evolution of lighthouse technology directly impacted wartime communication, showcasing how advancements influenced military tactics.

 
War and Lighthouses uses historical records, maps, and personal accounts to illustrate these points. Starting with the historical context of lighthouse construction, the book progresses through case studies of lighthouses targeted or defended during conflicts like the Napoleonic Wars and World War II. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how these structures shaped naval and coastal conflicts, emphasizing their surprising impact on military outcomes.

    Did you know that cats were extremely sacred in ancient Egypt and those who killed one could be punished by death? 
    According to many Egyptologists, the ancient Egyptians never considered animals to be gods. Instead, they were considered the personification of their powerful deities, which explained why the Egyptians often depicted their ancient gods with animal heads. The same could also be said about cats; they were most certainly not worshiped but were held in high regard. Before becoming symbols of divinity and protection, cats were often adopted by the Egyptians since they were useful predators. Cats were used to protect households from pests and dangerous animals, such as rats and snakes.  
    The Persians took advantage of the Egyptians’ love of cats. In an effort to turn the tide in a certain battle, the Persians marched to the battlefield with a great number of cats, resulting in the surrender of the Egyptian troops. Of course, whether or not this was true remains disputed, especially when many of the ancient records were either exaggerated or biased—one of the reasons why curious readers might find it slightly difficult to explore the rise and fall of ancient Egypt. 
    Here’s just a small fraction of what you’ll discover:The mysterious identities of Narmer and Menes, the first pharaoh of EgyptHow the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed with human handsThe dangerous journey into the realm of the deadA detailed process of mummificationHow Egypt was forced to bow down to its first foreign pharaoh The biggest chariot war in history between the Egyptians and the HittitesHow Egypt’s religious beliefs played a role in its governmentThe fall of Egypt after the death of Cleopatra VII

    Lilo and Ernst survived the horrors of WWII in the center of Berlin, but not without help.  
    An incredible tale of survival and kindness. 
    Lilo was just a teenager when the Nazis took away her mother and father in September 1942. She never saw them again. A year later, she received another painful blow when her brother Hans was taken too. She was now alone at 19-years-old in a dangerous and brutal world. Until she heard one familiar voice that called her name, and saved her life.Meanwhile, her boyfriend Ernst was hiding in a small room with his parents, doing all he could to ensure their survival, even when violent explosions and the possibility of exposure threatened to take their lives. They remained hidden for 27 months, but sadly it was only Ernst and his mother who emerged from the shelter after the war. Ernst and Lilo eventually marry, re-locate to America, create a new life, and have a daughter who is the author of this book.

    Explore the folklore of the trickster, villain, and rescuer known as Baba Yaga in a new light. “With Becoming Baba Yaga, Kris Spisak presents a robust work of scholarship. Baba Yaga is a wily shapeshifter, nearly impossible to pin down—but Spisak miraculously transforms alongside her, ever keeping up.” —from the foreword by GennaRose Nethercott, bestselling author of Thistlefoot   When darkness, fear, and instability inundate our daily lives, folktale figures like Baba Yaga speak to the dichotomy of our existence—the hope and the horror, the magic and the mundane. At once an old hag and an enchantress, a demon and wish granter, a feminist and nothing more than a fairytale, Baba Yaga is an endlessly complex folktale character.  Becoming Baba Yaga provides an in-depth look at the Baba Yaga mythos and history through Slavic folklore. Filled with historical and cultural context, analyses, and the stories themselves that add depth to the conversation. A comprehensive resource for anyone hoping to learn more about this ambiguous character and how her multifaceted presence still ripples through the present day, Becoming Baba Yaga is as thoughtful as it is illuminating.   Spisak explores Baba Yaga’s connection to nature as an Earth goddess and as an herbalist. She also delves into the Shadow Self and Baba Yaga’s aspect as a trickster and places her in a modern context as not merely a witch of the woods but also as an archetype and force for finding your own path. Becoming Baba Yaga shares how she is both a force for good as much as evil and a feminist before her time.
