  Have you ever wondered how to tell a brig from a barque? Or a sprat from a sardine? How salt is made and when Trinity House was founded? The answers to these and much more will be found within these pages. 
  Shortlisted for the Amberley Press Publishing Prize. Curlew Coast is the author’s second book about East Anglia’s maritime past. Using the coastal towns of Suffolk as a framework, the book explores a diversity of subjects from rope making to ship burials and from coastal erosion to the early navigators. Illustrated throughout with the author’s sketches, Curlew Coast covers the period from when the Anglo-Saxons first sailed up the East Anglian rivers, to the age of the railway when the engine began to take over from sail. 
  The author lives in Norfolk with memories of many happy hours sailing off the Suffolk coast and its rivers. A lifelong interest in traditional boats, sailing and maritime history has resulted in this unusual and engaging book.

  Pop Song Piracy - Disobedient...

  The music industry’s ongoing battle against digital piracy is just the latest skirmish in a long conflict over who has the right to distribute music. Starting with music publishers’ efforts to stamp out bootleg compilations of lyric sheets in 1929, Barry Kernfeld’s Pop Song Piracy details nearly a century of disobedient music distribution from song sheets to MP3s. 
    
  In the 1940s and ’50s, Kernfeld reveals, song sheets were succeeded by fake books, unofficial volumes of melodies and lyrics for popular songs that were a key tool for musicians. Music publishers attempted to wipe out fake books, but after their efforts proved unsuccessful they published their own. Pop Song Piracy shows that this pattern of disobedience, prohibition, and assimilation recurred in each conflict over unauthorized music distribution, from European pirate radio stations to bootlegged live shows. Beneath this pattern, Kernfeld argues, there exists a complex give and take between distribution methods that merely copy existing songs (such as counterfeit CDs) and ones that transform songs into new products (such as file sharing). Ultimately, he contends, it was the music industry’s persistent lagging behind in creating innovative products that led to the very piracy it sought to eliminate.

  The Delectable Negro - Human...

  Scholars of US and transatlantic slavery have largely ignored or dismissed accusations that Black Americans were cannibalized. Vincent Woodard takes the enslaved person's claims of human consumption seriously, focusing on both the starvation of the slave and the tropes of cannibalism on the part of the slaveholder, and further draws attention to the ways in which Blacks experienced their consumption as a fundamentally homoerotic occurrence. 
   
   
   
  Utilizing many staples of African American literature and culture, such as the slave narratives of Olaudah Equiano, Harriet Jacobs, and Frederick Douglass, as well as other less circulated materials like James L. Smith's slave narrative, runaway slave advertisements, and numerous articles from Black newspapers published in the nineteenth century, Woodard traces the racial assumptions, political aspirations, gender codes, and philosophical frameworks that dictated both European and white American arousal towards Black males and hunger for Black male flesh. He concludes with an examination of the controversial chain gang oral sex scene in Toni Morrison's Beloved, suggesting that even at the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century, we are still at a loss for language with which to describe Black male hunger within a plantation culture of consumption.

  He stopped suddenly. His vision was getting muddled and he started mumbling the lines from the Quran.
  Zeenat got up and looked out of the window. She could hear him utter,
  'La ilahi illillah.'
  Dawn was breaking on the horizon. Aurangzeb's soft uttering of the words from the Quran could be heard in the silence of the morning. The rays of the first light spread themselves in the room and reached the bedside. It was much later Zeenat realized the silence in the room. The words had stopped. She rushed to the bed and touched his forehead. A scream erupted from the tent,
  'Ya Allah! Ya Khuda!
  
  A huge phase of the Mughal empire was over. It was the beginning of the end of the mighty Mughal empire. More of that later.
