Sinopse

"Lighthouse Technology" explores the fascinating evolution of these critical maritime structures, chronicling their journey from basic beacons to advanced, automated systems. Lighthouses played a crucial role in shaping maritime history, not only by reducing shipwrecks but also by facilitating global trade. One intriguing insight is how the development of the Fresnel lens revolutionized illumination, significantly extending the visible range of lighthouses.

 
The book examines lighthouse construction and illumination technologies, their impact on maritime safety and trade, and their influence on coastal communities. It reveals how lighthouses represent a nexus of technology, human innovation, and environmental challenges. Starting with foundational principles, the book progresses chronologically, detailing key innovations like parabolic reflectors, automated systems, and the integration of radar and GPS.

 
By blending technical analysis with historical narrative, the book offers a unique perspective, highlighting the significance of lighthouses in shaping maritime history and technological advancement. It positions lighthouses as symbols of progress, resilience, and international cooperation, offering a comprehensive view of these often-overlooked structures.

    In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. 
     
     
     
    In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological. For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a US military base built inside Greenland's ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets—ancient warmth and melted ice. 
     
     
     
    Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland's ice will catalyze devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.
