Few things are more hauntingly beautiful than the sight of a lighthouse, misted in fog, and rooted in a chalky cliff or jagged outcropping. Lighthouses date back to the time of Homer's Odyssey, and this elegiac book sings their hymn in beautiful photography and poetically expressed history. It's a journey to every shore in every age to celebrate the light we keep coming back to century after century. "Lighthouses" captures all the mystery and romance of the sea and those who sail out of the safe harbor with beautiful photographs.
