The History of Pirates

A General History of the Pyrates

ASIN: 1934255009

Book Description

Surely pirates, taking them in their broadest sense, are as much entitled to a biographical dictionary of their own as are politicians, clergymen, race-horses, or artists in ferro-concrete, who all have their own "Who's Who"? This volume does not pretend to be a history of piracy, but is simply an attempt to gather together, from various sources, particulars of those redoubtable pirates and buccaneers whose names have been handed down to us in a desultory way.

To write a whole history of piracy would be a great undertaking, but a very interesting one. Piracy must have begun in the far, dim ages, and perhaps when some naked savage, paddling himself across a tropical river, met with another adventurer on a better tree-trunk, or carrying a bigger bunch of bananas, the first act of piracy was committed. Indeed, piracy must surely be the third oldest profession in the world.

Herein are contained brief accounts of some of the most famous pirates and buccaneers who have left their marks upon history. Their exploits with their attending morals and motives were surely many and varied. Among their ranks heroes and villains were no less uncommon than among those who found themselves in other professions.

Land Trusts made simple for the layman.......2003-01-26

This 2002 book is up to date with a wealth of information concerning land trusts. Written by a Florida Attorney with 20 years experience, and author of 60 books, this book is thorough and comprehensive. One of the best part of the book is Appendix A which has a page for each of the fifty states as well as Washington, District of Columbia detailing the requirements by state and even court cases dealing with trusts in that state. There is also another Appendix B which has all the forms needed for a trust from deeds, to co-trustee etc. In all there are 27 forms. There is also a bibliography and a list of court cases applying to trusts. And there is the all importance, for easy reference, index at the back of the book. The text part of the book is 124 pages covering set-up, benefits, operations, litigation, financing, buying, selling, taxes Federal and state, security laws, and the pitfalls/drawbacks/concerns of land trusts. This is the most complete text on the subject that is geared to the layman non-attorney. However, the author recommends and I concur, that you should consult with a local, knowledgeable attorney before jumping into a land trust.

Interesting snippets, helpful annotations.......2004-09-26

This is a great little book. It has many of Mozart's most familiar quotes, as well as some less familiar ones.
The compiler and translator usually gives the source and background of each quote, which makes the book more valuable than if it were merely a collection of things Mozart wrote or said.

Here are a few of my favourites:
The most necessary, most difficult and principal thing in music is time [i.e. rhythm]

Above us is a violinist, below us another, next door a singing teacher who gives lessons, and in the last room opposite ours, a hautboyist. [oboist] Merry conditions for composing! You get so many ideas!

I have spared neither care nor labour to produce something excellent for Prague. Moreover it is a mistake to think that the practice of my art has become easy to me. I assure you, dear friend, no one has given so much care to the study of composition as I. There is scarcely a famous master in music whose works I have not frequently and diligently studied.

Download Description

The German composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was not only a musical genius, but was also one of the pre-eminent geniuses of the Western world. He defined in his music a system of musical thought and an entire state of mind that were unlike any previously experienced. A true child prodigy, he began composing at age 5 and rapidly developed his unmistakable style; by 18 he was composing works capable of altering the mind-states of entire civilizations. Indeed, he and his predecessor Bach accomplished the Olympian feat of adding to the human concepts of civility and civilization. So these two were not just musical geniuses, but geniuses of the humanities. Mozart's music IS civilization. It encompasses all that is humane about an idealized civilization. And it probably was Mozart's main purpose to create and propagate a concept of a great civilization through his music. He wanted to show his fellow Europeans, with their garbage-polluted citystreets, their violent mono-maniacal leaders and their stifling, non- humane bureaucracies, new ideas on how to run their civilizations properly. He wanted them to hear and feel a sense of civilized movement, of the musical expressions of man moving as he would if upholding the highest values of idealized societies. One need only listen to the revolutionary opening bars of his famous Eine Kleine Nachtmusik to see this.

"The purpose and scope of this little book will be obvious to the reader from even a cursory glance at its contents. It is, in a way, an autobiography of Mozart written without conscious purpose, and for that reason particularly winning, illuminating and convincing. The outward things in Mozart's life are all but ignored in it, but there is a frank and full disclosure of the great musician's artistic, intellectual and moral character, made in his own words."

Book Description

Few topics on the economic reform agenda get more attention throughout Western, Central, and Eastern Europe than pension reform. And few other issues in the European policy debate have been more unevenly treated among European countries than pension reform. Because the difference between reform need and reform outcome does not appear to reflect the underlying reform pressure, one can only wonder why reform progress has been greater in some countries than in others.

This book, with its contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in economics and political science, attempts to answer that question. The results provide insight into the process and progress of European pension reform, for the benefit of the reform agenda in Europe and other regions of the world.

Where is the good doctor?.......2005-05-23

I was interested in this book for several reasons, one of which was my interest in the War of Northern Agression. As a medical professional myself, I was interested in Dr. McGuire on this level, as well. What a disappointment! If you're looking for anything even remotely resembling a biography of this interesting gentleman, do a web search and read the little that's written on him there, don't waste your money on this book. If you can get past the frequent errors in grammar (they were annoying to me and I'm not a grammar freak) and the typos, you won't find much about Dr. McGuire in these pages. There's more written about Jackson in this book than about Dr. McGuire. There are quotes from contemporary sources without any information as to who these people were. I did find small portions of this book interesting but, on the whole, I thought it was difficult to follow and contained little about the subject.

This is a scary book in some ways. One doesn't enjoy thinking of one's home, after all, as a potential deathtrap and someplace that can make one sick. You, like me, may be surprised at the number of potential hazards in the materials and systems of your "Home Sweet Home." However, reading this book can help you locate and fix potential hazards before they kill you or make you ill, so in that sense, it is a hopeful and helpful book filled with information you may not want to know, but should, for your own good.

Helpful, Hands-On Guide to Evaluating Environmental Issues.......1999-07-15

I recently purchased my first home and had so many headaches to deal with just on the basics of the transaction, I wasn't initially sure how to address possible environmental issues or where I would find the time to figure them all out. The Home Environmental Sourcebook, with its practical, well-organized and easy to understand information, solved my dilemma. It allowed me to investigate environmental issues of particular concern (e.g., lead paint, asbestos) quickly by providing concise information by topic area and letting me know where else I could find more detailed information. The book was also helpful in that a quick scan of topics covered in the book helped identify issues which I hadn't been considering, but which were ultimately important not only in my decision-making process, but in the very negotiation of the purchase contract. Highly recommended.

Renovator Recommends "Home Environmental Sourcebook".......1997-08-24

I recommend this book to everyone in the renovation field. The content on older homes is very important in limiting future liability and callbacks. The chapters on lead paint and asbestos alone could save the contractor thousands of times the cost of the book

Book Description

Russell Simmons, the original and eternal hip-hop mogul, is one of the most innovative and influential figures in modern American business and culture. When no one outside of inner-city New York had even heard of hip-hop, Simmons saw the seeds of a global force that would change the way people talk, dress, listen to music, and choose the heroes they hang on their walls. Today, he oversees a sprawling, multimillion-dollar empire of culture-defining businesses in everything from music to fashion, advertising to film, and media to visual art. At the same time he’s broadened his interests and influence and pushed hip-hop to new plateaus of power and relevance. Life and Def is a one-of-a-kind tale that interweaves the remarkable journey of Russell Simmons with the story of the culture he’s transformed and been transformed by.

In his own brash, compelling voice, Simmons chronicles his numerous business successes and occasional failures. He tells the story of the founding of the legendary Def Jam Records, whose roster stretches from original rap icons like L.L. Cool J, Public Enemy, and the Beastie Boys to today’s top stars, including Jay-Z and DMX. He traces the launching of Def Comedy Jam, the long-running hit television series that introduced a new generation of black comedic stars to America, from Martin Lawrence and Bill Bellamy to Bernie Mac and Chris Rock. He spins hilarious tales of his adventures in Hollywood, where he’s produced hit movies like Eddie Murphy’s The Nutty Professor and worked with quirky geniuses like Abel Ferrara. He also tells the story of Phat Farm, the wildly successful pioneering urban clothing label whose origins lay in Russell’s longtime fascination with fashion (and fashion models).

Simmons’s story is also one of personal transformation, from the driven man who in the heady days of early success indulged himself with drugs, sex, and world-class decadence to the husband and father he is today, a man who has found meaning in activism, philanthropy, and spiritual practice while never losing his passion for the social, political, artistic, and commercial potential of hip-hop.

Through it all he relates telling anecdotes about the characters he’s dealt with: models and gangsters, street poets and gurus, and major players like Donald Trump, Sean Combs, Jon Peters, and Tupac Shakur. Full of advice, opinions, and behind-the-scenes scoop, Life and Def is the story of the quintessential hip-hop life.

"Russell and I both grew up in Queens -- geographically only a few miles from each other, yet worlds apart. Life and Def is Russell's Art of the Deal, and although his route to fame and fortune could not have been more different than mine, it's an unbelievably fascinating and provocative account that I found hard to put down. Russell is a winner!"

On Russell Simmons' Life.......2007-06-01

A great book but you should know: the Vibe Mag quote at the top "...Learn how the godfather of hip hop did it...." only applies to a small portion of the book. For a book that fulfills this promise, check out: Hip Hop Inc (Richard Oliver)

A great book!.......2007-04-18

Life and Def is a great book that shows that you can do anything if you try. This book is about Russell Simmons who lived in Queens, New York. He had an decent life and his parents were well-educated people but he still got sucked into the street life. He was a drug dealer on 205th street. He sold many different drugs though out his drug career but his main drug that he sold was marijuana. Russell Simmons was one of the first hip-hop promoters ever. He now owns big companies such as Phat Farm. He also has a share of Def Jam records and is a member of the rap group Run DMC. Russell Simmons is a remarkable person because he made something out of himself even though he made bad choices when he was a kid. I gave this book four stars because of his excellent writing as he shares the details of his childhood.

A look at the soft side of Russell Simmons.......2006-01-18

Like you, I always thought Russell Simmons was a bigger than life, take no prisoners kind of personality. Who knew that Russell is as sensitive as Oscar Wilde and as munificient as Greg Louganis? Oh sure, he acts all tough in interviews, but this book peels away the layers and shows that Russell's heart beats just like yours and mine -- maybe more -- definitely better.

For example, did you know that Mr. Simmons was voted "Top Alto" in his high school glee club? Did you also know he was the ghost writer of "Wind Beneath My Wings"? What about the notion that Russell Simmons will never tip less than 14% -- even if the service is bad?

And what really suprised me, is that he curiously names REO Speedwagon as the band he admires the most.

I salute you Mr. Simmons and hope that this is just the first of his many, many super intelligent and unbelievably insightful self-serving books.

Informative Guide For Hip-Hop Music Moguls.......2005-05-29

I've read this book once all throughout, and now I'm in my second reading highlighting key points Russell Simmons had made during the course of his writing.

If you are an independent rap or hiphop artist (hell, ANY independent music artist) or got plans for starting your own record label, this book is a perfect start for you.

Not that it'll give you direct information regarding how to start your own label, but it will give you an idea of what it takes to be successful out there. What it gave me, as an independent rapper myself (you can see how I choose to implement some of his points into our hip-hop blueprint by checking out my group's site, http://www.audiblemcs.com), are ideas on how to effectively market my music by laying out the Def Jam's blueprint to success.

Several points that Russell Simmons made that I believe is worth mentioning are ::

1.) How you should properly build your audience
2.) What he did to make corporate America and the mainstream to adapt to his standards, not the other way around
3.) What it is about HIS brand of hip-hop that made it so successful
4.) The importance of branding and having your own identity
5.) How he got popular as a show promoter through networking and marketing
6.) How he managed to break one of their first records, "Christmas Rappin" and used it to further their success
7.) The demise of Sugar Hill Records
8.) Why you can't really expect to get rich off selling records (he uses the concept of an album as your calling card to other money generators)
9.) Touches on how him and Rick Rubin ran Def Jam in the earlier days

...and many more valuable industry insights from the words of an established player out there.

Indeed, it does not give you everything you need to know. There are no exact figures, no exact steps on you should take, etc. But that's exactly what the music business is: you cannot copy exactly what another did and expect to succeed on your own. The point of this book is to lay out Def Jam's blueprint to success in the music industry. It is up to you to study it, figure out what it is he did that worked and didn't, and incorporate those success points into your OWN plan.

Not to mention, his 5 lessons in business is something EVERYBODY interested in doing some sort of music-related business should read. Good day.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz............2005-03-14

At the present time I am being forced to read this book in my Honors Seminar class, and for the life of me, I cannot find why I should enjoy this book as much as my professor does. This book is incredibly boring. My eyelids are heavy and if I did not have a paper to write on this thing, I would throw it to the bottom of my bed (never to open it again) and go to sleep.

For me, this book reads like a transcribed tape. Of course it has an editor, but I really feel like I'm listening to this man talk---which is not always a bad thing. Some [read: better and more interesting] books work well that way, but not this one. This book has me wondering, "why do I care about this?" and "who are these people?" These questions signal that it is very easy for a reader to get lost in the jumble.

Wow, just writing a REVIEW of this book is making me sleepier. Read this if you must. If you have some burning desire to learn more about Russell Simmons, then enjoy.

A Must Read For Any Lewis and Clark Fan.......2003-02-05

This is a well researched and engaging historical text set 100 years before Lewis and Clark. It is a jouney of a Native American across this continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans outlining the rich and varied cultures of the many peoples who inhabited this land before the impact of European settlers. The author is comfortable and familar with his topic and weaves an engaging story. I strongly suggest this work for anyone who wishes to know, study, or to become aware of the history of the people who have inhabited this North Americian Continent.

I enjoyed following the main character through his journeys and learning the stories, medicinals, sports, traditions of the various tribes with which he traveled and stayed.

The notes at the end of each chapter bring you current with what is happening today in each area of the journey for the Native American People and make it a rich teaching text.
