From Ancient Greece to the Present Day.
'Beacon On The Rock' is a thundering, windswept history of the lighthouse and the lives of the indomitable builders and keepers, and tells of its development from the early wood-fired beacons to the latest automatic solar-powered lights.
Examples are drawn from all over the world, from some of the most remote and inclement places on Earth to lighthouses that stand in the picturesque main streets of modern cities. Spectacularly illustrated with over 300 breathtaking full-colour land and aerial photographs, plus original plans, cut-away drawings and paintings.
