Que silencio era proteço. Que medo era rotina.

Com narrativa intensa, direta e visceral, Nascer e uma Catastrofe faz uma provocaço desconfortavel: Ate que ponto somos fruto das nossas escolhas? E ate que ponto somos produto do lugar onde a nossa vida começa? Voce esta preparado para atravessar esta historia?"

Lighthouses are enduring symbols of resilience, hope and safety. The human stories of the keepers lives, and the scale of the human effort that went into lighthouse keeping before automation, are fascinating. This book tells the stories of the last generation to work on manned lighthouses in Scotland. The interviews record the life experiences of more than fifty former lighthouse keepers and their families who worked in Scotland and the Isle of Man before and during the process of lighthouse automation, which was completed in 1998. The job of lighthouse keeper led to a unique perspective on life, as keepers worked within small close-knit communities around each lighthouse to watch the lights, maintain the lighthouses and respond to emergencies. The keepers families, and the Northern Lighthouse Boards engineers and boat crews, were also part of an extended lighthouse community along the entire Scottish coastline. The interviews, conducted by Erin Farley and Martine Robertson between 2012 and 2019, are a fascinating insight into the world of lighthouse keeping, the coastal communities in which keepers worked, the social context of the Northern Lighthouse Board, and the changing nature of work, technology and place in Scotland in the second half of the twentieth century.

Nobel laureate, Oscar winner and author of over fifty plays, Bernard Shaw is perhaps as renowned for his political views as for his awe-inspiring artistic output. This new selection of his writings on war brings once more to the forefront the polemical writings of one of the most outspoken commentators of the twentieth century.As a co-founder of the Fabian Society, an equal rights campaigner and an ardent socialist, Shaw was never known to shy away from controversy: he was accused of treason on the strength of his 1914 publication Common Sense About the War, which affronted patriots and the government alike. His vehemently anti-war stance was almost prophetic in its progressive nature, and many of his impassioned assertions now have a ring of remarkable prescience.
