Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of lighthouses, those towering sentinels that have guided mariners through treacherous waters for centuries. The author traces the evolution of lighthouse design, from primitive bonfires and coal-burning braziers to the advanced optical systems of the modern era. The book explores the incredible engineering feats involved in building these structures, often on exposed, wave-swept rocks or treacherous sandy shoals. The author recounts harrowing tales of surveyors battling fierce currents and relentless storms to secure a foothold on remote islands, and of masons painstakingly crafting foundations and towers under the constant threat of the sea. The author reveals the personal stories of the lighthouse keepers who, isolated for months at a time, bravely faced the dangers of the sea to maintain the vital beacon for passing ships. The book highlights the remarkable legacy of the Stevenson family, whose members have left an indelible mark on the world of lighthouse engineering, having built some of the most iconic structures around the globe. By providing a detailed and often dramatic account of the construction and maintenance of lighthouses, the author offers a powerful testament to human ingenuity and courage in the face of daunting challenges. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332351992_0
