Rock Lighthouses of Britain
When waves higher than the vessels that sail upon them smash against the half-submerged rocks at the extremities our coastline, the whole ocean becomes a raging foam which continues to claim the lives of unwary navigators. Man's struggle to build a permanent and durable structure such as a lighthouse on these sites is a story that cannot fail to stir the emotions of anyone who enjoys tales of endeavour, ingenuity and dogged determination. In this second edition of his book, Christopher Nicholson vividly describes the construction and history to the present day of some of the world's most famous lighthouses. Book jacket.
The Elephant Keeper
I asked the sailor what an Elephant looked like; he replied that it was like nothing on earth.
Among the Summer Snows
Christopher Nicholson's first book of nature writing is a beautiful account of an unusual obsession. In 2016 he spent August searching for the remaining snows of the Scottish Highlands. His account of his solitary walk is by turns funny, fascinating and inspiring. A meditation on walking, mountains, snow and our changing climate, Nicholson also turns his curious eye on nature-lovers themselves. What are we looking for when we walk and what is it we want from nature? What is it we see and what is it we miss? What remains when we are gone and what have we lost from the landscape forever?
Winter
From the author of the Costa Best Novel-shortlisted ‘The Elephant Keeper’, a poignant imagining of Thomas Hardy’s relationship with his last muse.
Facing Life ... Enjoy the Whether
At first glance, whether seems like a misspelling of weather. It isnt. Whether is a turning point in your life that will determine a change in direction. The road reaches a T, and you must go left or right and live with your choice. Facing life is the dawn of each new day or each new chapter. I aim to live each new day with faith, courage, and optimism. I did not become a Catholic priest or a Catholic deacon, but the call to follow Jesus is a universal call to all people. Many Americans are, have been, or will be married. The future (according to Dawnher pen name) is for hope and for dreams to come true. Are you patient enough to do it Gods way? Since 2006, I have been conscious of this reality: People dont care how much you know until they know how much you care. My prayer for you: Be well. Be whole. Be full of wisdom. And God bless you.

Having outgrown the lift - and his job - as bellboy at the Ranelagh Grand Hotel, Mickey decides to make ends meet by becoming a tourist attraction. Initially, it's an amateur affair - people pay a little to look, a little more to touch or take a photograph - but when Mickey takes on a professional manager business begins to boom.
