Reaktion Books, distributed by the University of Chicago Press, has announced the publication of a fascinating new book by
Rebecca Simon,
The Pirates' Code: Laws and Life Aboard Ship. Bookseller's review says it a "rollicking account" [no surprise there] that "explains how [the
pirates' codes] determined everything, from how much each pirate earned from their plunder to compensation for injuries, punishments, and. more."
