After facing storms and starvation, riddles and murder, Joseph Winter and the hardy crew of Victoria thought they had conquered their fears. Nothing, however, could've prepared them for what lay ahead. The deceit, the desperation, betrayal and insanity; through jungles, caves, oceans and deserts – how could a secret thrive for so long? Despite everything, hope remained strong. After testing the limits of human spirit, they understood how golden their treasure could be and could see how their twisted fates were linked as one; to a loot lost to history... Scott's Trove.

Book excerpt: A group of fun-loving scuba divers called the Sea Dogs find themselves hoodwinked when their biannual dive trip to the Florida Keys is rearranged on an innocent pretense. Their friend Ray Stellar has just inherited a spectacular island off Key Largo, and asks the dive team if they'd rather vacation on his island instead of their normal destination. Eager to save money, the team accepts the free trip. When they arrive on the island, the divers find themselves up to their necks in dirty deeds. To settle his mounting debts, Ray's boss has made a deal with a drug kingpin; and the Sea Dogs unknowingly become involved in the arrangement. The DEA soon shows up, and the Sea Dogs are stalked, used as pawns, and almost get their ship blown up. But their happy-go-lucky attitude and positive perspective see them through, and they manage to thwart the drug kingpin. Just when they thought the bad times were behind them, they stumble onto the lost treasure of Black Beard the pirate. Kidnappings, Black Beard's ghost, and hilarious mishaps plague the Sea Dogs at every turn. Will the Sea Dogs ever find peace and quiet in their lives again, or will their trip be the vacation to end all vacations?

Book excerpt: In the seventeenth century, England's future is dependent upon the sea. Merchant adventurers and shipping companies seeking to expand international trade, find themselves constantly threatened by piracy on the high seas. In 1671, after twelve years of service, Lieutenant Martin Denbow decides to resign from the King's Navy. Leaving service on the same day are fellow officer Rodney Carteret and chief gunner Humility Flood, each to pursue his own ambition. The fortunes of Denbow and Carteret are affected by the beautiful but mysterious Helen Fitzwilliam, wife of a wealthy ship owner, while Flood becomes emotionally involved with Bess Dawlish, a feisty woman with a colourful past who lost her family and business in the Great Fire of 1666 and the Black Plague that followed. All experience the pleasures and the horrors of the period, as the action moves from London to the pirate-infested waters of the Caribbean ruled over by notorious buccaneer Henry Morgan, and on to an uncharted island in the South Pacific. Swordplay, romance, intrigue, betrayal, and sea battles abound in the sprawling saga The Sea Dogs, the first novel by Ken Barnes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular Culture, Piracy, and Outlaw Pedagogy explores the relationship between power and resistance by critiquing the popular cultural image of the pirate represented in Pirates of the Caribbean. Of particular interest is the reliance on modernism’s binary good/evil, Sparrow/Jones, how the films’ distinguish the two concepts/characters via corruption, and what we may learn from this structure which I argue supports neoliberal ideologies of indifference towards the piratical Other. What became evident in my research is how the erasure of corruption via imperial and colonial codifications within seventeenth century systems of culture, class hierarchies, and language succeeded in its re-presentation of the pirate and members of a colonized India as corrupt individuals with empire emerging from the struggle as exempt from that corruption. This erasure is evidenced in Western portrayals of Somali pirates as corrupt Beings without any acknowledgement of transnational corporations’ role in provoking pirate resurgence in that region. This forces one to re-examine who the pirate is in this situation. Erasure is also evidenced in current interpretations of both Bush’s No Child Left Behind and Obama’s Race to the Top initiative. While NCLB created conditions through which corruption occurred, I demonstrate how Race to the Top erases that corruption from the institution of education by placing it solely into the hands of teachers, thus providing the institution a “free pass” to engage in any behavior it deems fit. What pirates teach us, then, are potential ways to thwart the erasure process by engaging a pedagogy of passion, purpose, radical love and loyalty to the people involved in the educational process.

Book excerpt: 'Sea Dogs All!' is an adventure-mystery novel revolving around the exploits of an individual referred to as 'the man in black', which we first met in half hidden by the thick trees, braving the fury of the storm. There was nothing of the fisher or forester about him; the pale, worn face and the tall, lean figure soberly clad in black betokened the monk or the scholar, but claimed no kinship with them that toiled in the woodlands or won a living from the dangerous sea. Leaning against a giant beech that rocked in wild rhythm with the storm, he watched the wind and tide at their work of devastation, an odd smile of satisfaction playing about the corners of his thin lips.

Book excerpt: "This book provides an authoritative analysis of how increasing globalization in the maritime sector challenges the entwined shipping communities of traditional maritime nations. Through an empirical analysis of developments in labor mobility within the maritime sector in Denmark it shows that the shipping companies have been significant providers of competence to the national maritime skills base, but also that their current global factor sourcing choices threaten to dissolve this skills base. These findings have important implications regarding productivity, growth and competitiveness for policy makers and companies in the maritime domain."--Publisher's website

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This maritime history recounts the exploits of sixteenth century English privateers in conflict with the Spanish Empire. The Sea Dogs were seafaring merchants who originally traded mainly with Holland and France. During Queen Elizabeth’s reign, however, they began sailing further afield, spreading the reach of English exploration and plundering. At that time, England was a relatively impoverished country. But it soon found a new source of wealth in the Caribbean—a region that had been the colonial domain of wealthy Catholic Spain. The first man to trade with the Spanish Main was John Hawkins, who traveled to West Africa, captured the natives and transported them to the Caribbean. There he sold them to plantation owners in exchange for goods such as pearls, hides, and spices. His backers included the Queen herself, who encouraged the Sea Dogs to seek greater riches. This led to conflict with Spanish ships that would spark the Anglo-Spanish War. The main thorn in the Spanish side was Francis Drake. Despite efforts to kill or capture him, he continued to plunder the high seas, bringing back Spanish riches to England. This allowed Elizabeth to flourish. It was thanks in main to the privateering exploits of the Sea Dogs that England became so wealthy, paving the way for the Renaissance that followed.

Book excerpt: “To read On the Road but not Visions of Cody is to take a nice sightseeing tour but to forgo the spectacular rapids of Jack Kerouac’s wildest writings.”—The New York Times Book Review “The centerpiece of all [Kerouac’s] novels.”—The Washington Post Originally written in 1951–1952, Visions of Cody was an underground classic by the time it was finally published in 1972, three years after Kerouac’s death. Utilizing a radical, experimental form (“the New Journalism fifteen years early,” as Dennis McNally noted in Desolate Angel), Kerouac examines his own New York life in a collection of colorful stream-of-consciousness essays. Always transfixed by Neal Cassady—here named Cody Pomeray—along with Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, Kerouac also explores the feelings he had for a man who inspired much of his work. Transcribing taped conversations between members of their group as they took drugs and drank, Visions of Cody reveals an intimate portrait of people caught up in destructive relationships with substances, and one another, capturing the members of the Beat Generation in the years before any label had been affixed to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Leadership and Crime: Siamese Twins in Africa" is a work that examines the festering woes of Black Africa in the quality of leadership it has had across-the-board since the departure of European colonizers from its individual countries. Using Nigeria - the country with the highest population and the largest economy on the continent - as a case study, it identifies the respective areas of leadership failure by indigenous leader but not without highlighting the self-serving groundwork laid by departing colonizers to safeguard long-term strategic interests with zero thought of the future of the indigenes. The resultant impact of conflicts, dictatorship, and self-enrichment to the detriment of the vast, suffering masses is clearly showcased in this sober, matter-of-fact presentation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilhelm G. Grewe's "Epochen der Völkerrechtsgeschichte", published in 1984, is widely regarded as one of the classic twentieth century works of international law. This revised translation by Michael Byers of Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, makes this important book available to non-German readers for the first time. "The Epocs of International Law" provides a theoretical overview and detailed analysis of the history of international law from the Middle Ages, to the Age of Discovery and the Thirty Years War, from Napoleon Bonaparte to the Treaty of Versailles, the Cold War and the Age of the Single Superpower, and does so in a way that reflects Grewe's own experience as one of Germany's leading diplomats and professors of international law. A new chapter, written by Wilhelm G. Grewe and Michael Byers, updates the book to October 1998, making the revised translation of interest to German international layers, international relations scholars and historians as well. Wilhelm G. Grewe was one of Germany's leading diplomats, serving as West German ambassador to Washington, Tokyo and NATO, and was a member of the International Court of Arbitration in The Hague. Subsequently professor of International Law at the University of Freiburg, he remains one of Germany's most famous academic lawyers. Wilhelm G. Grewe died in January 2000. Professor Dr. Michael Byers, Duke University, School of Law, Durham, North Carolina, formerly a Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, and a visiting Fellow of the Max-Planck-Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Heidelberg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1975, The Rise of the Mediocracy is exhaustive, disturbing, devastating, yet often very funny. It explodes the myth of meritocracy and the pretence of improved living standards. While the doom- boomers blame all our ills on trigger happy politicians, Arab oil sheikhs or polluting multinational corporations, the intractable problems of the world have come about through a multiplication of individual attitudes and actions whose end result is industrial anarchy, civil disorders, population explosion and declining standards. Many of the ‘good things’ of life- democracy, education, sociology, communications, growth, the welfare state- have contributed to the overall neurosis, trivialization and greed. As these good things will not likely be abandoned, the problems of contemporary society may well be insoluble. But if there are solutions they are unlikely to be implemented because everywhere there is an elitism not of meritocracy but of mediocracy, whose rise can be traced from the 18th century and has accelerated in recent years. No other book relates the discrediting of religion and politics, business and professions so plausibly to chaos in the arts, diminishing returns in education and curbless crime in society. This interdisciplinary book is an interesting read for students of humanities and social sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sovereignty of a small but crucial piece of land is at stake. Besieged and fought over fourteen times throughout its history, Jebel-Tarik, or Tarik’s Hill – named after an eighth-century Muslim invader – came to be known as the Rock of Gibraltar. This strategically located fortress controls the trade routes between Europe and North Africa, linking the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Its possession can dictate the flow of commerce and industry in this volatile region. In a bid to expel the British, King Carlos of Spain allies with the French. Meanwhile, two young farm lads from Lancashire embark on separate journeys that lead them to converge on this contested ground, each playing a role in the unfolding drama. This is the story of the last great siege of Gibraltar, detailing the armies and navies involved and the heroic actions of soldiers and sailors on both sides. Who will prevail: Britain or Spain?
