From mayachnika. Very beautiful photo album of lighthouses. I liked that there are photos of not only foreign lighthouses, but also Russian ones. We recommend.

From the publisher   Lighthouses are unique structures. They saved a huge number of human lives even before it became known that the Earth was round. Many lighthouses continue to operate to this day, and each of them has its own story.

• The book is dedicated to seventy-five of the most beautiful lighthouses in the world: from small to large; from those that are fully manned by caretakers to those that have been put into automatic control mode.

• The illustrations show all the major types of lighthouses installed on the world's most picturesque shores, such as the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in the US state of Carolina, moved 875 m inland due to erosion of the coast, or the French Cordoin Lighthouse with its royal apartments, or the massive Finnish Bengtskär Lighthouse.

• You will receive important and interesting information about each lighthouse: where and when it was built, as well as about the brave keepers who watched over them and thereby saved the lives of many sailors.

This book contains information about 75 of the most magnificent lighthouses located in picturesque, remote corners of the globe. You'll become familiar with all the main types of lighthouses: the beacon fires that the ancient Romans lit on high cliffs; strong stone towers placed far out to sea to warn of the presence of deadly rocks and currents; port lighthouses that meet fishing and other vessels; giant structures painted in bright colors, staunchly holding back the onslaught of bad weather. Here you will also find information about more modest navigation lights, which have a rather original appearance. Lighthouses have been participants in many historical events. Each lighthouse is covered in a separate article with high-quality photographs and additional comments that allow one to evaluate the true size of the structure and the features of the terrain in which it is located. Separate diagrams indicate the location of the lighthouse in the country and in the world.

Format: 29.5 cm x 31 cm.
