The five nonfiction offerings of Lighthall Books cover a broad array of topics loosely linked by the authors’ backgrounds and interests. History, science, and a focus on societal trends and consequences for real people underlie all of them.
In Gem of the Adirondacks and Star Lake strong themes are natural resources, advancing technology, global trends, and their positive and negative effects on communities. A sequel, The New Gem of the Adirondacks, describes efforts underway to rebuild a community devastated by losses of industry and amenities.
The Summer of a Thousand Cheeses traces the effects on a craft with ancient roots of technological innovations, industrialization, and emerging changes in people’s attitudes about food and food production.
Patuxent, Policy, and the Public Interest presents the author’s perspective on the how the modes of conducting science affect decision-making at the highest levels.
