Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-two true tales of corsair counseling, sea-rover psychology, and free advice from freebooters! Feeling down because you're missing your one true love? Why not hide her aboard a pirate ship dressed as a man, then convince the Governor she's actually a runaway noblewoman instead of a moonshiner's daughter? It worked for pirate John Bear! And what if the real Governor runs for his life because his island has been overrun by pirates? Declare yourself Governor instead, of course! Strut around like you own the place, let everyone know you're in charge, and make it official by giving people receipts when you rob them at sword-point. Pirate Thomas Barrow did! Want more questionable guidance from the world's most unlikely therapists? Look inside to find genuine adventures and misadventures from the Golden Age of Piracy, learn a few new pirate facts, and get life coaching from Benjamin Hornigold, Stede Bonnet, Charles Vane, and more. Let's be clear: pirates were neither Robin Hood nor chivalrous liberators nor lovable rogues. They were at best thieves and scoundrels, and too often murderers, slavers, and worse. Of all the questionable advice you're about to receive, here's the best you're likely to get: don't try any of these at home! Or at sea, if you're so inclined. Of course, if you somehow acquire a time machine and find yourself aboard ship in the early 18th century, give it a whirl! You'll fit right in. As pirate William Fly probably thought but never said, "There's a noose for that." Pirates unlucky enough to be caught may face trial, and would be harangued by merchants seeking revenge, judges eager for justice, and ministers hoping to save a soul. They might not have had any good advice for the doomed pirates (though pirates awaiting execution sometimes had choice advice for their captors), but with luck - and possibly rum - perhaps our reader might find a nugget of wisdom among the fool's gold inside.

Download or read book American Colonies written by Alan Taylor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-07-30 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multicultural, multinational history of colonial America from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Internal Enemy and American Revolutions In the first volume in the Penguin History of the United States, edited by Eric Foner, Alan Taylor challenges the traditional story of colonial history by examining the many cultures that helped make America, from the native inhabitants from milennia past, through the decades of Western colonization and conquest, and across the entire continent, all the way to the Pacific coast. Transcending the usual Anglocentric version of our colonial past, he recovers the importance of Native American tribes, African slaves, and the rival empires of France, Spain, the Netherlands, and even Russia in the colonization of North America. Moving beyond the Atlantic seaboard to examine the entire continent, American Colonies reveals a pivotal period in the global interaction of peoples, cultures, plants, animals, and microbes. In a vivid narrative, Taylor draws upon cutting-edge scholarship to create a timely picture of the colonial world characterized by an interplay of freedom and slavery, opportunity and loss. "Formidable . . . provokes us to contemplate the ways in which residents of North America have dealt with diversity." -The New York Times Book Review
