Synopsis

Pirate History delves into the multifaceted world of piracy, moving beyond romanticized myths to explore its profound impact on global history. Understanding pirate economies, naval combat, and territorial control is crucial, as piracy wasn't merely criminal activity but a force that challenged existing power structures. For instance, pirates didn't just steal; they disrupted established maritime trade routes and created alternative economies, influencing the 17th and 18th-century colonial rivalries.

 
The book examines key figures and geographical areas, then progresses to the economic impact of piracy and famous sea battles. It concludes by analyzing how pirates established governance in regions, challenging European empires. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of piracy's lasting legacy, supported by ships' logs, court records, and archaeological findings.

 
By connecting piracy to economics, political science, and sociology, Pirate History enriches our understanding of maritime security and global power dynamics.

    Billions of years ago, the universe came into existence with a "Big Bang." The creation of the universe is the single paramount event from which all other events precipitate, and why it happened is the greatest mystery we have ever known. 
    On the tiniest of scales, the cosmos reveals to us a universe filled with quanta particles; and on the largest, a universe of planets, stars, galaxies, and life. The expanse is endless. Are we then to believe ourselves alone in the vastness of creation, or to solely occupy the crown of it? 
    In 1975, Corky Ra, an administrative manager for a large supply company, began to experience a series of encounters with advanced beings. His first reactions of shock and disbelief led him to a period of seclusion, yet the "visits" continued, leading him to an awakening. Ra realized it was the purpose of these beings to re-introduce, in a pure form, principles of nature that have always existed and address all issues of existence, sexuality, and death. 
    SUMMUM: Sealed Except to the Open Mind is about existence in its broadest context and delves into the forces behind cosmic rhythms and change. Most importantly, it describes a meditation for developing a personal relationship with the essence of nature. 
    This is the second edition of a work first published in 1988. Make this audiobook your companion and venture to get a glimpse of the inner workings of Creation.

    Before the Vietnam War, most Americans would have been hard pressed to locate Vietnam on a map. South Vietnamese President Diệm’s regime was extremely unpopular, and war broke out between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam around the end of the 1950s. Kennedy’s administration tried to prop up the South Vietnamese with training and assistance, but the South Vietnamese military was feeble. A month before his death, Kennedy signed a presidential directive withdrawing 1,000 American personnel, and shortly after Kennedy’s assassination, new President Lyndon B. Johnson reversed course, instead opting to expand American assistance to South Vietnam. 
    	The post-analysis of war is a complicated and process that benefits from hindsight, and the involvement of the United States in Vietnam over about a decade was no exception. Never formally declared as a “war,” the Vietnam War was not fought in clean lines or with clear missions. Viewers of the evening news listening to the “box score” of killed and wounded each night had at best a hazy notion of what was happening a world away in Southeast Asia. If anything, their leaders were both attentive to reelection and on a certain level were themselves unsure of what was truly taking place. A military draft that sent over 50,000 American soldiers to their deaths was triggered by a resolution sought by President Lyndon B. Johnson in a decision to contain communism in a distant Asian land.

    If when you think "Florida" you don't think "spectacular," Cathy Salustri is determined to change your mind. Explaining why the state is more than the "Florida Man" stories and the politics that so often make national news, and looking beyond the crowded beaches and theme parks, Salustri celebrates what makes the state worth a deeper understanding in this lively trip through its natural beauty and fascinating history. 
     
     
     
    Florida Spectacular lifts the curtain on multiple facets, including the legacy of Zora Neale Hurston and the Black community at Eatonville; the bravery of Emateloye Estenletkvte, a Seminole woman who escaped from captivity back to her homeland; the two "frenemy" Henrys, Flagler and Plant, and their projects in transportation and tourism; the three "Marjories," the influential environmentalists and writers; and people working to solve issues facing the state today, such as those who have used Florida's hurricanes to make storm forecasting better for the whole world. 
     
     
     
    Along the way, Salustri brings to light lesser-known moments from Florida's history that help illuminate the state's significance in American and world history. Salustri tours listeners through the hidden-in-plain-sight Florida, the overlooked treasures, the cultural complexities, the environmental challenges and successes.
