辉煌信标：美国灯塔史
(us) Eric Jay Dolin
Lighthouses, which once stood in the foreground of American history as sentinels of the coastline, are now an integral part of the coastal landscape and have left a romantic mark on people's memories. Through the prism of lighthouses, Eric J. Dolin presents us with a fascinating piece of American history, starting with the Boston Lighthouse, America's first lighthouse. With the gradual growth of the United States as the background, he traced the days when the lighthouse system was first created, highlighting the political, economic, military and technological struggles people carried out to illuminate the country's barren coastline, and ultimately showed the game and final reconciliation between man and nature.
