Plot

From the first primitive lights in Near East and Mediterranean harbors to today's computer-driven optical devices, the lighthouse has been more than just a beacon of light. Many well-known lighthouses are documented in this lavish volume. Their historical and technical details as well as their topographical perspectives offer the reader insights into their forms, environment, and use.
