Pirates

This series of fact-packed, highly illustrated books combines history and technology with interesting and relevant craft activities. Each book covers one topic and describes its many aspects through imaginative text and accurate illustrations. Each chapter contains a fun-to-do activity using everyday materials to make articles that bring to life the subject. Each book contains a glossary of new or unfamiliar words, a further reading list, places to visit to learn more about the topic, and an index. PIRATES brings to life the dangerous world of tall ships and high seas in bygone centuries, where cut-throat characters terrorised honest seafarers and robbed them of their gold - and sometimes their lives.
