They encapsulate a romantic vision of solitary homes amongst the waves  but their original purpose was much more noble  conceived as navigational gifts for the safety of all. Still today  we depend upon their guiding lights for the safe passage of ships. Nowhere is this truer than in the rock lighthouses of Great Britain and Ireland: twenty towers built between 1811 and 1904  so-called because they were constructed on desolate  slippery rock formations in the middle of the sea  rising  mirage-like  straight out of the waves  with lights shining at the their summits.  Seashaken Houses is a lyrical exploration of these magnificent  isolated sentinels  the ingenuity of those who conceived them  the people who risked their lives building and rebuilding them  those that inhabited their circular rooms  and the ways in which we value emblems of our history in a changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651937624117,"sku":"ByrdShop_1846149371","price":132.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781846149375.jpg?v=1781846257","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/seashaken-houses-9781846149375","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
