Sinossi

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.

    Few figures in Christian history bridge denominational divides and cultural narratives like St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Revered for over fifteen centuries, Patrick’s life and mission stand as a beacon of spiritual courage, theological depth, and the enduring power of God’s grace. 
    In this illuminating exploration, Saint Patrick delves into the man behind the legend. From his dramatic early years as a Roman Briton enslaved by Irish raiders to his calling as a missionary in the land of his captivity, Patrick’s story is one of transformation, faith, and unwavering devotion. 
    Taking a look through the lens of both Catholic and Protestant perspectives, this book offers a nuanced examination of Patrick’s life and ministry. Was he a Catholic saint, celebrated for his miracles, his role as a bishop, and his establishment of monastic centers that would transform Europe? Or was he a proto-Protestant hero, defined by his reliance on Scripture, evangelical zeal, and personal relationship with Christ?

    So Great Was the Slaughter reveals the untold story of Arkansas conservation pioneers who saved the state's game and fish populations. As Arkansas entered the twentieth century, the national demand for meat combined with the ability to ship millions of animals to hungry cities like New Orleans, Memphis, and Chicago had driven many species, including bison and passenger pigeons, to extinction in Arkansas. Many others, including deer, bear, turkey, quail, and fish, were in danger of disappearing. 
    In response, an unlikely coalition of Arkansas sportsmen, hunters, and conservationists created a vision for conservation legislation, game laws, and the establishment of fish hatcheries and wildlife refuges. With support from influential outsiders like E. A. McIlhenny and the United States Biological Survey, they waged a long battle against entrenched political and commercial interests. 
    Buckley Foster's meticulous research reveals how these pioneers fought to save the state's wildlife resources from destruction and laid the foundations for sustainable, modern wildlife management in Arkansas. So Great Was the Slaughter will fascinate hunters, conservationists, historians, and those interested in the history of wildlife conservation and conflicts between market hunters and sportsmen in the United States and the American South.
