Lighthouses are among the most ancient engineering structures on earth. Over the many millennia that lighthouses have helped ships overcome dangers and find the right path at sea, they have transformed from architectural structures into true symbols of hope.

Poems and songs are written about lighthouses, and artists draw them. And everyone, adults and children, dream of visiting a real lighthouse at least once to see how it works.

Artist and designer Roman Belyaev, who has been partial to various special engineering structures since childhood, conceived and created an amazing series about the most interesting human inventions in the field of engineering construction. The book 'How a Lighthouse Works' opens a series that will later include stories of bridges, mills, and other unusual structures.
