ISBN-978-1-4054-7117-6 - This magnificently illustrated book demonstrates the extraordinary diversity of lighthouses around the world, from formidable granite towers standing guard on France's Atlantic coast to the neat, homely, white-and-red "pepper-pot" lighthouses nestling on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Lighthouses are a fascinating reflection of the society and culture around them, ranging architecturally from France's elegant and beautiful Cordouan lighthouse, completed in 1611 and the Neo-Gothic splendor of prosperous Bremerhaven's lighthouse in Germany to the simple solidity of Iceland's Krossnes, painted orange so that it will stand out against the surrounding snow landscape. The history of lighthouses is a fascinating one, filled with great inventions, such as the Fresnel lens which revolutionized lighthouse lamps, engineering feats such as the building of the first offshore lighthouse on Eddystone Reef., Parragon.

The compiler of this book, Art Weithas, was the original designer of YANK magazine. The dust jacket flap has a bio of him which says his art is represented in the collection of the Coast Guard, as well as several other military and nonmilitary art museums. On the front endpaper is a "Special Autographed Copy" bookplate. It is inscribed: "To George Gray... a fellow artist with many thanks for our association with the Coast Guard." [In the early 1980s George Gray founded The Coast Guard Art Program (CoGAP). He served as CoGAP's chairman for more than twenty years. Active as a muralist and illustrator for seven decades, Gray specialized in historical and military themes. The George Gray Award for Artistic Excellence was named in his honor. Among the books he illustrated are: SINBAD OF THE COAST GUARD; AMERICAN INDIAN; MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA ROUNDABOUT; ICELAND ROUNDABOUT; and SCANDINAVIAN ROUNDABOUT]. From the Dust Jacket: "The reminiscences and anecdotes in CLOSE TO GLORY were contributed by the writers, artists, and photographers who served on YANK magazine in WWII. They also came from original correspondence exchanged between the editor, Joe McCarthy, and overseas press correspondents during the war... [The book provides] accurate first-person accounts of men reporting a war under intense pressures, releasing their emotions in humor and in some cases recording their abhorrence of war." . Not signed, but inscribed on a special bookplate. First Edition (so stated). Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. xxvii, 288pp., Eakin Press, 1991, Denmark 1995. Recommended reading for anyone interested in the history of fisheries, international politics or enviromental issues. The problem of scarce resources was highlighted in the Cod Wars between Iceland and the United Kingdom through the 1950s to 1976. British frigates and Icelandic coast guard vessels confronted each other on one of the worldÕs most important trawling grounds. NATO and the UN were involved, when the concept of an economic zone was first established. This is the first fully-documented study of the history of protectionist measures in the North Atlantic, and it deals comprehensively with the biological, economic and political parameters of the conflict. Controversially, the author reveals the political rather than biological considerations dictated the first decades of the struggle for economic protectionism, whereas the decline in British trawling industry predated the extension of the economic zone., English, Year1995, Illust.
