Synopsis

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.

Together with a community of dynamic reformers, Wilberforce struggled to rid his nation of evil and to give dignity and freedom to all people - slave and slave trader, poor and powerful. His example continues to inspire others to use their gifts and influence to do good against the odds.

Hate and Reconciliation -...

Guido Cuyvers

Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. 
 
 
 
Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term "Erida complex," after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.
