  On January 2, 1678, a fleet of French ships sank off the Venezuelan coast. This proved disastrous for French naval power in the region, and sparked the rise of a golden age of piracy. 
   
  Tracing the lives of fabled pirates like the Chevalier de Grammont, Nikolaas Van Hoorn, Thomas Paine, and Jean Comte d'Estrées, The Lost Fleet portrays a dark age, when the outcasts of European society formed a democracy of buccaneers, settling on a string of islands off the African coast. From there, the pirates haunted the world's oceans, wreaking havoc on the settlements along the Spanish mainland and—often enlisted by French and English governments—sacking ships, ports, and coastal towns. 
   
  More than three hundred years later, writer, explorer, and deep-sea diver Barry Clifford follows the pirates' destructive wake back to Venezuela. With the help of a lost map, drawn by the captain of the lost French fleet, Clifford locates the site of the disaster and wreckage of the once-mighty armada.

  How and why did humans begin to treat sick and injured animals? And how did those practices, and the associated attitudes, evolve from prehistory to the present day? 
   
   
   
  To answer these questions, Dr. Schott shares stories of twenty-two different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, examining the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed by these people and their colleagues. But at the heart of the tale lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear. 
   
   
   
  James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth-century Manhattan. Along the way, we see every kind of person trying to heal every kind of creature. 
   
   
   
  Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.

  Selling Social Justice - Why the...

  The national racial reckoning that began in 2020 promised to radically restructure American society from the bottom up. But five years on, it has mainly served to strengthen the ruling class and deliver the rich an opportunity to rehabilitate a profoundly unequal economic order at a moment when the stability of the system and the public's trust in it are deteriorating. 
   
   
   
  Corporations have used antiracism to consolidate their political power and evade government regulation. Employers have surveilled and undermined workers through counterproductive diversity, equity, and inclusion trainings. Affluent professionals and Democratic politicians have exacerbated a stark class divide by pushing half-baked "racial equity" policies that come at the expense of the majority of working people. And the right has reacted to these developments by stoking a toxic culture war against "wokeness" that serves as a distraction from the increasing economic hardship faced by Americans of all races. 
   
   
   
  Selling Social Justice investigates the rise and spread of contemporary antiracist ideology and shows how the rich came to embrace this particular form of justice. In this provocative account, Jennifer C. Pan explores why, in a twenty-first-century economy of increasing scarcity, antiracism is the wrong frame for understanding and fighting inequality.

  Are you ready to uncover the truth behind the most disturbing global crises of our time? "Viral Deception: Unveiling COVID's Hidden Agenda" takes you on a riveting journey that may forever change your perception of the pandemic and the powers orchestrating it. Witness how a seemingly natural epidemic could be the smoke screen of this century, artfully crafted and strategically unleashed. 
  Explore the historic lineage of biological weaponry and draw chilling connections from the past directly into the chambers of Wuhan's secret laboratory. Navigate through the tangled web of global health governance and the compromised allegiances that may have allowed a synthetic virus to emerge from the shadows. 
  Feel the tension rise as you piece together the political strategy and uncover the alarming blueprint of COVID-19. Learn how suspiciously it mirrors the constructs of other man-made plagues and how bioweapons are not just the relics of the Cold War but active pawns in a game of contemporary Global Domination. As you progress, a harrowing pattern emerges, painting the media, tech giants, and government firewalls as complicit in a cover-up designed to obscure the greatest deception ever waged on humanity. 
  Brace for a critical analysis, drawing correlations between vaccine development and the activation of a tracking framework of bio-surveillance systems that threaten to reshape the very notion of privacy and personal autonomy.  
  "Viral Deception" is not just a book; it's a movement towards unmasking the illusion and empowering readers with the knowledge to discern truth from orchestrated reality. If you dare to confront the narrative that has been fed to the masses, this book promises to lead you towards a path of enlightenment, resilience, and, ultimately, the reclamation of the truth.
