Sinossi

Pirate Empires explores the significant, yet often overlooked, role of pirate societies in shaping world history. Far from being mere criminals, these pirate havens exerted considerable economic influence by disrupting global trade patterns and forcing nations to adapt their naval warfare tactics. Pirate societies, such as those in Tortuga and Madagascar, weren't just about plunder; they also fostered alternative social structures that challenged established state authority. The book examines how these pirate havens functioned, detailing their governance and defensive strategies, and analyzes their impact on naval warfare and the evolution of maritime law. It highlights how the struggle against piracy spurred innovations in naval technology and led to the development of international agreements aimed at suppressing maritime threats. By presenting pirate societies not as isolated incidents but as complex geopolitical entities, Pirate Empires offers a fresh perspective on their lasting legacy.

 
The book progresses through sections that explore the establishment of pirate havens, their impact on naval warfare, and the legal efforts to combat piracy. Using primary sources and archaeological findings, it paints a vivid picture of pirate life and their influence on global systems, demonstrating how these illicit networks shaped the modern world.

    Teachers, this book is a guide for taking care of education's most valuable resource: you. Author Jay Schroder, founder of the popular Teach from Your Best Self Institute, demonstrates why the version of ourselves that we bring to teaching matters and describes how we can rejuvenate ourselves while maximizing student learning. Part I explains why the self that a teacher brings to the classroom is important. Part II explores skills that will help us sustain a best-self state in all manner of situations. Part III delves into those moments when we're provoked beyond our limits and our "hurtspots" come sharply into view. It offers ways to avert a reactive state or recover from it. Lastly, Part IV provides simple approaches for building a more durable, best self for the long term—a best self with deepened capacity to respond rather than react in the pressurized conditions of teaching. With fresh ideas presented throughout, you'll learn how to prioritize your own well-being so you can continue to make a difference for your students.

    Neutral Shores: Ireland & Battle...

    From September 1939 until the last days of the war in 1945 Ireland was host to a constant flow of casualties from the Battle of the Atlantic. Ireland's unique location, situated near the vital shipping lanes of the Western Approaches, placed the country in the immediate conflict zone once the war at sea began with the sinking of the British merchant liner Athenia on 3 September 1939, when 449 survivors were landed in Galway city.
    
    'Neutral Shores' follows the story of how many merchant navy ships during the war were attacked and sunk by German U-boats and FW200 bombers, and their surviving crews left adrift on the hostile Atlantic Ocean in a desperate struggle for survival.
    For the fortunate ones sanctuary was found along Ireland's rugged Atlantic shores, where the local people took these men from the sea into their homes and cared for them without any consideration of their nationality or allegiances

    A written companion and workbook for listeners seeking to reclaim their bodies as home in healing from sexual trauma. 
     
     
     
    Body rites as a holistic healing journey, anchored in the practice of decolonizing healing and reclaiming body sovereignty, reaches back into indigenous roots and land-based healing. It centers remembering as a means of survival. 
     
     
     
    This workbook is the first of its kind: a resource of rituals divided into four healing journeys for Black women, femmes, and nonbinary survivors of sexual assault. The experiential workbook moves beyond prescriptive self-help models by providing a gentle guide and liaison to explore the impact of sexual trauma on the mind, body, heart, and spirit. It is an invitation to heal holistically, drawing upon psychophysiology, lived body wisdom, trauma-informed embodiment practices, kinship and ancestral connections, and African spiritual practices. Most urgently, this book is a series of intimate conversations with your "self"; and remembrance that healing lives at the core of your intuition.

    ANDREW: 
    I’d dreamed of him again. Now, if I’d known that Juandre would haunt my thoughts day and night for the past ten years, I would never have had the man. I couldn’t dispute my incisors had prickled at the sexy Hispanic ever since he’d pulled over and smiled a cheeky smile at me. 
    As if I couldn’t already read into that, I knew what he would ask me even before he asked. The thing was, I had felt a little peckish and hoped a meal would stop and take me home with him for the night. Prolonging my hunger was never good. 
    That final night of debauchery and discovery was the last item on my list to check off before my year-long sabbatical to clear my head and decide whether I wanted to run away or dismantle the Disciples. Over the years, I had managed to surround myself with them, and only Tony and the few men in our inner circle knew the true reason for Lord Andrew Whiskey. 
    He’ll be in his early thirties, and I’ll still look exactly like I did ten years ago. Will he even remember me? 
    This story contains explicit graphic depictions of gay sex and crude language unsuitable for young or sensitive readers or anyone offended by gay sex.
