Lighter: Let Go of the Past, Connect with the Present, and Expand The Future

Product Information

PS. While I don’t expect a lighthouse keeper to be an expert in marine biology, you’d think someone raised by the ocean would know better than to say this: The first book from these authors is a practical guide for lighter collectors with great photography and accurate information. Not as extensive as their second book but more practical to take along.

This is the most wonderful book about the history and fascination of fire-making and lighters. It contains fantastic photographs and great stories. One of few books equally attractive to collectors and non-collectors.This is a Japanese companyset up in 1949, possibly American influenced. The catalogue has many recognizable lighters - copies of others makers. This is the standard work for lighter collectors. A great collector’s guide with lots of valuable information about lighter manufacturers in Europe and the USA. It focuses more on European brands and models. In all my years I’ve realised there are two kinds of people. The ones who hear a creak in a dark, lonely house, and shut the windows because it must have been the wind. And the ones who hear a creak in a dark, lonely house, light a candle, and go to take a look.” Although no one actually knows what happened, through the interviews with the women and some literary licence, Dan poses the story of what might have occurred. What Dan learns raises a whole lot of new questions. It wasn’t all sweet with the families, there were rivalries and jealousies and misunderstandings. On the part of the men, subjected to long periods of isolation there were also issues. A comprehensive guide to the history and the products of the Evans Case Company. The book includes most Evans’ lighter models, most other products as well as old advertising and patents.

What ensues is a story about a descent into obsession and madness, a jealousy and dissatisfaction and a fear of retribution. Everyone has secrets and no one is innocent. These are the kindling but what provided the spark that sets it all off? How all this came about and how it played out in the tragedy of the disappearance I will leave for readers to discover for themselves. There is also a mysterious other player - was he real or not? Who was he? Did he have anything to do with the drama that would unfold? yung pueblo teaches how to heal with compassion as the driving force. Lighter is an empathetic and wise book that will guide you on a journey toward a deeper understanding of self and help you make impactful changes within and in the world. yung pueblo created a core curriculum on how to heal despite your experi­ences with suffering.” —Nedra Glover Tawwab, LCSW, New York Times bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace A French book about tobacco history including vesta cases and Lighters. Really well made with great illustrations. I mean, honestly! I’m sure you’d prefer that, but I’m afraid it’s all ridiculous. We’re not in your world now, we’re in mine; and this isn’t a thriller, it’s my life.” This manual gives great photography of experimental models, advertisements, masterpieces in history, museum Zippo lighters, clothing etc. Hundreds of Zippos inside.

A great book about striker lighters showing a magnificent collection. High quality photographs of strike lighters in gold, silver and enamel. A treat for the eyes. Part of the problem in my humble opinion is that it tries to be a bit of everything. A lot of the writing is truly beautiful the descriptions of the sea, are incredibly emotive. I also found the insights into the lives of the men, captivating and interesting. Unfortunately, part of what made this so wonderfully descriptive is also its downfall. I personally found there was just too many words, far more than were necessary. I’m sure others will love this book but for me it was a little disappointing.

I had no idea that the real mystery had happened! This is the kind of book that sends me down a googling wormhole. Sometimes the best mysteries an author can create are those based on real events. I absolutely loved the setting of the lighthouse. It was so unique and felt particularly atmospheric and vivid. It actually made me want to go inside a lighthouse, to experience what the characters experienced. It was the typical “there was something nasty in the woodshed” moment and rather than making the story or characters more intriguing, it just made me guess several of the twists early on. An enlightening, cathartic book providing accessible insight into personal healing and positive change. Stars. I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins Canada for this atmospheric and haunting book. Its author, Emma Stonex, was inspired by the mysterious, unsolved disappearance of three lighthouse keepers in 1900 from a lighthouse in the Outer Hebrides. Interesting accounts of this true disappearance can be found by googling the Eilean Mor lighthouse. In December 1900, the three keepers of the lighthouse on Eilean Mòr, one of the Flannan Isles in the Outer Hebrides, disappeared without a trace. The lighthouse itself was found to be clean and in good shape, with no indication of any struggle or unusual occurrence. The only detail suggesting a hurried abandonment of the lighthouse, was the discovery of one set of oilskins, suggesting that one of the men – unlike the others – had left the lighthouse without them.

A catalogue of exhibits from the Stadtmuseum Weimar by Hasso Heydenreich dated June 1979.Similar content to Bryant and May but not anything like as comprehensive. Impressive book about WWI Trench Art and Trench Art Lighters written by the French collector Patrice Warin. Requires French reading skills. When this book was published in 1992 the collecting of Ronson lighters took a steep ascent in the USA and the world. The book includes most Ronson lighters ever made plus a deep insight in to the history of Art Metal Works (Ronson). A great collector’s guide for Ronson collectors from the most knowledgeable specialist Urban K. Cummings. However, this is not a bunch of separate sayings, but still beautiful in its own regard as he gets to expand on the short little message I see online. Yung pueblo speaks about his own life experiences while writing about the process of healing and how to accomplish that. So, if you are looking for a Supernatural story, based on the first paragraph, as I was-you will need to LOOK elsewhere-this is NOT that kind of book.

Ultimately, to become 'lighter', we need to practice long-term self-awareness and self-reflection by examining our inner narratives and how our own thinking effects our emotions. To learn of yung pueblo’s beginnings in this intimate book is a gift. Lighter helps us understand the daily ways in which his deep­ening practice has impacted an entire generation of seekers. His words leave an indelible mark—his struggle with self-abandon­ment and his personal process of compassionate self-connection have quietly inspired millions of us. yung pueblo’s humble, po­tent teachings help us prioritize our emotional maturity in the face of constant change, a vital understanding in these turbulent times.” —Elena Brower, bestselling author of Practice You, Being You, and Art of Attention

Literature

It also sheds fascinating light on the extent to which our minds are so heavily conditioned based on our past. The brain unconciously bends our perception of reality to meet our expectations or desires, and fills in the gaps based on past experiences: 'Our perception is completely coloured by our past and our reactions seek to repeat themselves endlessly'. This book reveals an enormous amount of insight to many lighter manufacturers and their products. It is deep technical content based on the vast knowledge of the authors. If you are not fluent in German you could still easily read the titles and most of the information related to the illustrations.
