Fire over the sea

The photos and texts in this new volume in the blue series take you on a journey to the lighthouses on the coasts of the Emerald Isle of Ireland in the Atlantic and the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea. The author describes over 50 lighthouses on the wild and lovely shores of Ireland and more than 20 on the Isle of Man: on the shores of deep bays and on lonely heights on the edge of steep cliffs. He also talks about the architecture, geography and navigation of these watchtowers of light. Travelers on land will find clear directions to these beacons. Detailed information such as position, identification and technical details complete this text/illustrated book about lighthouses in this part of the British Isles. Jürgen Tronicke has been involved in work for the preservation of lighthouse buildings for 20 years, including in the Save the Red Sands Association, and is Chairman of the World Lighthouse Society. 144 pages, 96 color photos, format 24 x 18 cm, hardcover with dust jacket
