Guiding Lights by Shona Riddell Pdf

Women have a long history of keeping the lights burning, from tending ancient altar flames or bonfires to modern-day lighthouse keeping. Yet most of their stories are little-known. Guiding Lights includes true stories from around the world, chronicling the lives of the extraordinary women who mind the world’s storm-battered towers. From Hannah Sutton and her partner Grant, the two caretakers living alone on Tasmania’s wild Maatsuyker Island, to Karen Zacharuk, the keeper in charge of Cape Beale on Canada’s Vancouver Island, where bears, cougars and wolves roam, the lives of lighthouse women are not for the faint of heart. Stunning photographs from throughout history accompany accounts of the dramatic torching of Puysegur Point, one of NZ’s most inhospitable lighthouses; ‘haunted’ lighthouses in across the US and their tragic tales; lighthouse accidents and emergencies around the world; and two of the world’s most legendary lighthouse women: Ida Lewis (US) and Grace Darling (UK), who risked their lives to save others. The book also explores our dual perception of lighthouses: are they comforting and romantic beacons symbolizing hope and trust, or storm-lashed and forbidding towers with echoes of lonely, mad keepers? Whatever our perception, stories of women’s courage and dedication in minding the lights — then and now — continue to capture our imagination and inspire.

Her Stories by Elana Levine Pdf

Since the debut of These Are My Children in 1949, the daytime television soap opera has been foundational to the history of the medium as an economic, creative, technological, social, and cultural institution. In Her Stories, Elana Levine draws on archival research and her experience as a longtime soap fan to provide an in-depth history of the daytime television soap opera as a uniquely gendered cultural form and a central force in the economic and social influence of network television. Closely observing the production, promotion, reception, and narrative strategies of the soaps, Levine examines two intersecting developments: the role soap operas have played in shaping cultural understandings of gender and the rise and fall of broadcast network television as a culture industry. In so doing, she foregrounds how soap operas have revealed changing conceptions of gender and femininity as imagined by and reflected on the television screen.

Guiding Lights by Lynn Tanod,Chris Jaksa Pdf

Canada's west coast has one of the most extensive networks of staffed lighthouses remaining anywhere in the world and the authors visit all the most significant sites, ranging from the Carmanah Point light that watches over the hikers of the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Islands station -"Little Alcatraz" - which is just a tower rooted on a rock 50 kilometres west of Prince Rupert, to the popular harbour lights of Vancouver and Victoria. Jam-packed with magnificent full-colour photographs and firsthand accounts from lightkeepers on every part of the coast, this spectacular book captures the romance and beauty of British Columbia's lighthouses. Here are the lightkeepers' own tragic, inspiring, humourous and eerie stories of life on the lights. Guiding Lights is not only a lovely gift book, but a moving tribute to the people who have lived and worked on the lights and a valuable portrait of what continues to be a proud maritime heritiage.

A Guiding Light by Dale Preston Pdf

If you are a survivor of childhood abuse and have had substance abuse problems in the past, you can benefit tremendously from reading this book. Readers can gain invaluable insight in navigating problems associated with staying clean and sober and the recovery process. Dale raises questions regarding society’s gender bias towards statutory rape and examines how this bias has affected him in his own life, as well as how current laws are impacted. His revelations regarding teen gang involvement pinpoint problems with single-parent parenting and how neglect, lack of supervision, and the need for better role models could be deciding factors in a teenager’s life. He highlights the potential for significant enhancements to our foster care system by prioritizing the well-being of children transitioning out of foster care, rather than solely focusing on their time spent within the system. Dale acknowledges that while foster care did have a lasting effect on his life, he wishes they had a more supportive approach that went beyond simply reuniting him with his dysfunctional family. His drug and alcohol addiction can be traced back to childhood trauma. He looks at how survivors of abuse are statistically more likely to develop substance abuse problems as adults. He believes that without a complete self-acceptance of who we are, one tends to revert back to old patterns of addictive behavior, even after years of being clean and sober. Prepare yourself for astonishing revelations as you delve into the incredible life story of Dale Preston.
