Sinopse

"Pirate Slang Language" delves into the fascinating evolution of maritime linguistics in Northern European waters from the 15th to 18th centuries, focusing on how pirate communities developed and influenced nautical communication. The book reveals how geographic isolation and maritime culture created unique linguistic patterns that continue to shape modern nautical terminology.

 
Through careful examination of ship logs, court records, and recovered manifests from Dutch, English, and Scandinavian archives, readers discover how specialized vocabulary emerged for navigation, weather conditions, and ship operations. The book progresses through three distinct sections, beginning with the social context of northern European piracy and its impact on communication needs.

 
Moving from historical foundations to specific linguistic elements, it examines technical terminology and command structures before tracing their evolution into modern maritime vocabulary. Notable findings include how economic conditions and political relationships influenced the development of specialized maritime terms, challenging popular misconceptions about pirate language perpetuated by modern media.

 
What sets this work apart is its meticulous blend of maritime history, sociolinguistics, and cultural anthropology, supported by authentic historical documents. The academic yet accessible writing style makes complex linguistic concepts understandable while maintaining scholarly integrity. For readers interested in historical language development and maritime culture, the book offers valuable insights into how isolated communities shaped professional jargon and contributed to the international nautical vocabulary we use today.

    "Where did all the decent men go?" is a question you hear everywhere. But it’s the wrong question to ask. The better question is, “Why did all the decent men go on strike?" In Men on Strike (2013), Helen Smith offers an answer. 
    Smith asserts that there is a real war on men in modern culture. The majority of men might not discuss it or even believe that a "democratic" country would judge them without due process or accountability. Yet, in today's anti-male society, this is happening to most males. As a result, men have opted out, going on strike rather than having to face a ruthless attack on their gender. Smith details the legal, educational, and cultural war on men and suggests how society can remedy it, warning that if we don't, our culture will be forever changed.

    New Mexico 2026 gubernatorial frontrunner, organizer, congresswoman, and former cabinet secretary Deb Haaland shares her story, offering a powerful and personal look at what it means to be “the first.”Nothing about Deb Haaland’s upbringing or family history set her up for a life of firsts: the first Native American woman elected to chair a state political party in the United States; one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress; the first Native American to serve in a presidential cabinet. Yet Haaland has embraced every opportunity, knowing that each step forward lifts up those who are too often left out of the conversation.A 35th-generation New Mexican and member of the Pueblo of Laguna, Haaland has lived a remarkable life shaped by poverty, alcoholism, and single parenthood. After a late but meteoric rise in politics, she stepped down from her cabinet position as Secretary of the Interior in January 2025 and is now running for Governor of New Mexico in the 2026 election.In A Voice Like Mine—titled after Haaland’s congressional campaign slogan, “Congress has never heard a voice like mine”—she shares the personal history that shaped her courage to organize, run for office, and lead. She tells the stories that have defined her life in politics and beyond, from her grandfather’s cornfield, where she learned the importance of hard work and care for the earth, to the oak-paneled halls of Washington, D.C. Throughout her journey, Haaland has drawn on her heritage in her activism and service, leading with humility, purpose, and a commitment to “leave the ladder down” for those who follow.

    A Burning House - Redeeming...

    Despite the civil rights progress he fought for and saw on the horizon in the 1950s and '60s, Martin Luther King Jr.—increasingly concerned by America's moral vision, admitted—"I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house." 
    In A Burning House, Brandon Washington contends that American Evangelicalism is a house ablaze: burning in the destructive fires of discrimination and injustice. The stain of segregation remains prevalent, not only in our national institutions, but also in our churches, and this has long tarnished the witness of Christianity and hampered our progress toward a Christ-like vision of Shalom—peace, justice, and wholeness—in the world. Common doctrine may unite black and white evangelicals, but rifts such as social ethics and cultural influences still separate us. 
    Throughout this challenging but reconciliatory book, Washington gives a historical and theological appraisal of American evangelicalism to understand how we came to be where we are and what our response should be. Instead of calling the movement to become something new, he challenges it to live into what it has always been in Christ and strive for deliberate and sacrificial integration—the unity of believers of all ethnicities. 
    A Burning House is a rallying call to a waning movement whose most public leaders have often turned a blind eye to, or even justified, the sin of racism—a movement whose theology is sometimes compromised by a secular anthropology. This is a call to both white and black evangelicals to better understand our past so that we can better embrace the unifying and comprehensive message of the gospel we preach.
