Summary:
"Nova Scotia has 170 lighthouses past and present. Some are well known and treasured; others are hidden and known by few. Together they have a rich history and reveal much about the people, coast and seafaring history of Nova Scotia. Features twenty-four lighthouse sites, including classic beacons such as Peggy's Cove and Cape Forchu, plus an additional sixteen lights known and unknown that are prizes in the province. Each short chapter focuses on one of the twenty-four lights, and presents the aspect of lighthouse technology and history which that light best illustrates. Among the many themes explored are tidal power, seabird sanctuaries, the role of the light keeper, traditions and changes in the fishery, the complex and changing technology of lighthouses, ecotourism and more. The text is enhanced with beautiful colour photography of the lighthouses and their natural surroundings. Combines natural and social history, and while documenting the astonishing and fascinating diversity of Nova Scotia's lighthouses, giving a far deeper appreciation of this appealing feature of the province's landscape. Allan Billard is the author of Waterfalls and Beaches of Nova Scotia. He lives in Fall River, Nova Scotia."--Provided by publisher.
