description: Briefly profiles fifty lighthouses in North America (one of which is in Canada, the others in the contiguous US) that are in varying degrees of disrepair. For each, the authors summarize the history of the house's construction, noting any peculiar features, its period of service, its current status and mention of any restoration efforts planned or currently underway. Each house is presented with a current color photograph, and most have one or more historic photographs. An introduction shares stories of successful lighthouse saving efforts, and a conclusion pleas for further efforts to save those in the book and others at risk. Annotation c.
