For award-winning science writer Margie Pitlak, exploring the
unique nature of the Maine coast opens a door to deeper ties and
insights. Watching a striped monarch caterpillar transform into a
chartreuse pendant dabbed with gold, she realizes the limits of
life and what passes between generations. She explores the violent
geologic collisions that thrust up and fractured Maine’s
mountains; digs into the latest scientific thinking on how animals
navigate; reflects on the dizzy dance of plankton under the
microscope and the dogfish heart that continued to beat while held
in the palm of her hand. She looks at moose, fox, fishers, and the
tides as well, and shares a chapter about cleaning up the Maine
coast by kayak. These facets of the natural world speak a hidden
language that is translated by scientific knowledge and reflection.
Nature begins to speak about the nature of life.

Lighthouses may stand watchfully over serene waters one day and be
bombarded by immense waves the next. They may look out on the most
spectacular views, mark the entrance to a busy harbour or be placed
in some of the world's most desolate locations. To seafarers they
are guiding lights in dangerous waters, but, once decommissioned,
they can acquire an air of mystery. They are the most strictly
functional of all civilian buildings and yet they can be
surprisingly beautiful and varied in design. Are they square,
cylindrical or octagonal? Are they single structures or towers on
top of other buildings? Are they made of wood, stone, brick, or
concrete? Are they coloured with stripes or bands? From Lake
Michigan to the Arctic Circle, from the British Isles to Brazil,
Lighthouses celebrates more than 200 structures and the stunning
vistas that surround them. Taking examples from all around the
world, the book features an immense array of operating and disused
lighthouses from the 18th century to the present day, from those
marking ocean coastlines to structures besides lakes and on rivers,
from lighthouses cloaked in ice to Art Deco classics to tilting
structures abandoned in sand dunes. Presented in a handy
pocket-sized format, Lighthouses is arranged geographically, with
more than 200 colour photographs and captions explaining the
construction, operation and history of each entry.
