By combining stunning cartography with engaging and authoritative text,The World Atlas of Piratespresents the story of piracy in a completely new way. Eighty maps plot the routes that pirates followed-whether crossing the world's great oceans or pursuing their prey through creeks and bays. Colorful archive illustrations, including photographs and images from the National Maritime Museum and other historic collections, bring the villains, their ships, and their victims to life. Lively, accessible text by pirate expert Angus Konstam explains how piracy grew and flourished from the early buccaneers to the rogues of popular legends, how it has been snuffed out, and how it has reared its head again with the machine gun-toting pirates operating on today's high seas. In this lavishly illustrated book, an expert tells the fascinating story of piracy, from its beginnings to the present day-in a completely new way.
Великолепное полиграфическое оформление, качественная мелованная бумага, шикарные цветные иллюстрации, карты, полная история пиратства от античности до наших дней.
