Year: 2010 Language: english Author: Elinor DeWire, Dolores Reyes-Pergioudakis Genre: Handbook Publisher: Pineapple Press ISBN: 978-1-56164-460-5 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 168 Description: With thousands of islands and a long, jagged coastline, Greeks have always sailed. They built the world's first documented lighthouse at the Mediterranean port of Alexandria more than two-thousand years ago, and since that time countless sentinels have risen and fallen on Greek shores. Weather, warfare, erosion, and earthquakes have reduced some to ruins, but more than 100 traditional stone lighthouses still stand in Greece today. Their beauty and history are captured in this handy guidebook. The authors have carried out a deep and accurate research work, not only on documents and archives of the Hellenic Navy and the Hellenic Lighthouse Service, but also on old volumes of the Mediterranean Pilot and nautical magazines, and interviewing lighthouse keepers and their family members. The book, after an historical introduction, arrange the lighthouses by geographic area, providing beautiful pictures, their history and a brief explanation of their characteristics.
Thank you for the book in epub version. I need it to my lecture about buildings of Greece, but I'm from Poland and I couldn't buy this book in real version
