Lighthouses by Philip Plisson
As beacons of safety alerting sailors at sea, lighthouses have been a part of the coastal landscape for thousands of years. This book traces the history of these powerful beacons from the first known structure, built in Alexandria Egypt in 300 BCE, through the introduction of the powerful Fresnel lens, and up to the fully automated behemoths.
