Lighthouses
By Aabennett Books Inc

A favorite of many, lighthouses make a terrific topic of study. This four-week study includes the history of lighthouses, their different designs, the science of the lights and how they work, as well as the geography of lighthouse locations.

There are reading and writing assignments (Read and Discover), spelling and vocabulary words (Words of Wisdom), biography and geography studies (People and Places to Know), and Lighthouse Family Projects. Favorite books and Internet sites are included in the lesson plans as well as a large resource collection of Internet sites for each week of study.

Lighthouses
By Carol M. Highsmith and Ted Landphair / Random House, Inc

The fate of the American nation was once inexorbly tied to the sea, and nowhere is its maritime tradition more evident than in the lighthouses that line its coastlines and Great Lakes. Even as sophisticated sonar and satelite technology has rendered their powerful beacons and errie fog signals superfluous to giant oceangoing vessels, lighthouses still project comfort, safe haven, and nostalgia to small boaters and millions of visitors. Impervious to terrible storms, towering majestically above bustling harbors and vast coastal marshes, these great beacons embody the resourceful spirit of generation of lonely keepers and their families.
