Hardback. Condition: Good. For centuries the seas around Scotland were notorious for shipwrecks. Mariners' only aids were skill, luck, and single coal-fire light on the east coast, which was usually extinguished by rain. In 1786 the Northern Lighthouse Trust was established, with Robert Stevenson appointed as chief engineer a few years later. In this engrossing book, Bella Bathhurst reveals that the Stevensons not only supervised the construction of the lighthouses under often desperate conditions but also perfected a design of precisely chiseled interlocking granite blocks that would withstand the enormous waves that batter these stone pillars. The same Stevensons also developed the lamps and lenses of the lights themselves, which "sent a gleam across the wave" and prevented countless ships from being lost at sea. While it is the writing of Robert Louis Stevenson that brought fame to the family name, this mesmerizing account shows how his extraordinary ancestors changed the shape of the Scotland coast against incredible odds and with remarkable technical ingenuity.…

While the other seven were being completed, Congress authorized funds to construct a second set of eight lighthouses, and by 1930, California boasted 40 light stations. This new photographic history contains over 200 rare and beautiful images featuring lighthouses of the South Coast, San Francisco Bay, and the North Coast, as well as lightships and support facilities.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Bored with all the structure in her life, Alice does what any of us would do: She follows a rabbit down an elevator shaft to a world where nothing makes sense. But can she hang on to her own identity as she grows and shrinks, argues with birds, swims in a sea of her own tears, and gets put on trial by a deck of playing cards? With so many play versions of the Alice stories in circulation, Andrew Biliter's stands out from the pack by splitting the part of Alice in three - adding impact to the many passages in Carroll's original where Alice wonders aloud if she is still herself.
