The World for Ransom: Piracy is terrorism, terrorism is piracy (online catalog)
Attacks on cargo ships along the Somali coast by maritime thieves have recast the image of piracy for the twenty-first century. Gone is the faded sepia image of Captain Kidd and buried treasure. In its place are gangs of seaborne brigands with rocket launchers, who bear a striking resemblance in appearance and actions to terrorists.
As jurist and historian Douglas R. Burgess Jr. argues in this compelling study, the case for linking piracy and terrorism goes much deeper than shared imagery. In fact, from a legal standpoint piracy may offer civilized society the key to fighting international terrorism.
Drawing both from historical examples and the present-day situation in the Gulf of Aden, Burgess proves that piracy and terrorism are the same crime. – Description from the publisher.

One of the most recent books that the library has cataloged is “American Space Exploration and Development”, which includes five topic areas:
1) The past and present of the U.S. space program
2) Should we overhaul NASA?
3) Should private companies be put at the forefront of U.S. space flights?
4) Should we return to the moon?
5) Should we venture to Mars instead?
You can either view the library’s item record or view the table of contents.
If you are interested in more books about space exploration (either at the library or viewable on your computer), try our space exploration subject search. For more research information, check out our Credo Reference and Encyclopedia Britannica databases.
