This seems unfinished. It feels like the end note should include the other examples of the historical wonders of the world. The end note appears to be part of a broken drop note. If properly done it would add to the story about lighthouses rather than taking from it. As it is formatted it detracts from the essay.

The essay itself is strong focused and informative it takes a less than pertinent subject and makes it accessible. I learned a lot about the historical workings of lighthouses. I hadn't considered where the light had come from before electricity. I think we should have more working lighthouses just in case of the technical failure of modern navigation means.


My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
