Synopsis

In "The Pirates Own Book," Charles Ellms presents a captivating anthology that delves into the adventurous and often treacherous world of piracy during the Golden Age. Written in a richly descriptive prose style that blends a sense of thrilling immediacy with historical narrative, the book compiles firsthand accounts, tales of daring escapades, and the notorious lives of pirates such as Blackbeard and Captain Kidd. Ellms' work mirrors the era's fascination with maritime lawlessness, providing a glimpse into the societal and economic forces that drove men to take to the seas in pursuit of fortune and freedom. Charles Ellms, an author deeply fascinated by maritime history and the romanticized persona of pirates, draws from various sources, including old seafaring legends and pirate trials, to construct an engaging portrayal that resonates with both historical accuracy and sensationalism. His keen interest in the subject stems from a time when piracy captured the popular imagination, and he sought to shed light on the complexities of these figures rather than reduce them to mere caricatures. This book is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the enigmatic lives of pirates and their enduring legacy in popular culture. Ellms's thorough research and gripping storytelling make "The Pirates Own Book" an essential addition to the library of history buffs and adventure seekers alike, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the high seas and the harsh realities of pirate life.

    Anger is one of the six core human emotions which we all experience from time to time. The Angry Alien feels 'different' and means he finds it difficult to control his emotions. His anger only makes him harder to understand until a good friend helps him come to terms with why he is the way he is and how to overcome those 'big feelings.' A book for younger readers to read alone or with the help of adults. Useful reading aids included. Beautifully illustrated and in easy-to-understand rhyme.

    Over the course of its history, England has engaged in an uncountable number of battles, but a select few have been celebrated like the Battle of Trafalgar, one of the most important naval battles in history. Before the battle, Napoleon still harbored dreams of sailing an invasion force across the English Channel and subduing England, but that would be dashed on October 21, 1805 by a British fleet that was outnumbered and outgunned. The impact of Trafalgar cannot be overstated, as it literally set the stage for the rest of the Napoleonic Era. Unable to invade England, Napoleon was limited to conducting war on the European continent, and while he spent the better part of a decade frustrating the British and their allies, he was eventually undone at Leipzig and then Waterloo nearly a decade after Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar. 
    For those questioning why generals continued using tactics from the Napoleonic Era even as technology changed the battlefield, the Battle of Austerlitz may provide the best answer. Napoleon is regarded as one of history’s greatest generals, and Austerlitz was his greatest victory. In 1805, Britain, Austria, and Russia allied together to form the Third Coalition against the French, and the Third Coalition’s forces consisted of armies from Austria and Russia, with Britain providing naval support as well as its financial powers. The Battle of Austerlitz was a tactical masterpiece that saw Napoleon actually invite an attack on his army by the bigger Coalition army, and over the course of about 9 hours, the French successfully defended their right flank while counterattacking in the center and splitting the Russo-Austrian army in two, allowing the French to hit the flank of the advancing left wing of the enemy. The result was a decisive victory that virtually annihilated the Third Coalition’s army and made Napoleon the master of the European continent.

    Until recently, Germany appeared to be a paragon of economic and political success. But recent events – from Germany's dependence on Russian gas to its car industry's delays in the race to electric – have undermined this view.
    In Kaput, Wolfgang Münchau argues that the weaknesses of Germany's economy have, in fact, been brewing for decades. The close connections between the country's industrial and political elite have left Germany technologically behind, over-reliant on authoritarian Russia and China, and with little sign of being able to adapt to the digital realities of the twenty-first century. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of Europe's most important economy.
