title: The History of Pirates: From Privateers to Outlaw (The Real World of Pirates)
author:  Allison Lassieur 
description: Controlled vocabulary and short sentences mark the new Real World of Pirates books, six slim titles in the Edge series. The amount of information is slender, too, and one might argue as to the veracity of some statements ("Life on a pirate ship was better than life on a navy ship") and be bored with the superficiality of others--for instance, that twenty-first-century pirates are lured by "the hope of wealth or excitement." The illustrations are dramatic, however, with old prints and photographs manipulated over dark backgrounds. Sources and end matter are very brief, but the topic is of such interest that it might override these concerns. <i>GraceAnne DeCandido</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association.
