In a modern global historical context, scholars have often regarded piracy as an essentially European concept which was inappropriately applied by the expanding European powers to the rest of the world, mainly for the purpose of furthering colonial forms of domination in the economic, political, military, legal and cultural spheres. By contrast, this edited volume highlights the relevance of both European and non-European understandings of piracy to the development of global maritime security and freedom of navigation. It explores the significance of 'legal posturing' on the part of those accused of piracy, as well as the existence of non-European laws and regulations regarding piracy and related forms of maritime violence in the early modern era. The authors in Piracy in World History highlight cases from various parts of the early-modern world, thereby explaining piracy as a global phenomenon.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a wave of political violence swept across the globe, causing widespread alarm. Described by the media of the day as "propaganda of the deed," assassinations, bombings and assaults carried out by anarchists-both individuals and conspirators-were intended to incite revolution, and established the precedents of modern terrorism. Much has been written about these actions and the responses to them yet little attention has been given to the actors themselves. Drawing on wide range of sources, the author profiles numerous insurgents, their deeds and their motives.

Europaische Korrespondenznetze, die Kommunikation uber weite Raume und Grenzen hinweg ermoglichten, sind das Thema der Beitrage des Bandes. Nicht nur Meinungs- und Nachrichtenaustausch vollzog sich uber das Medium des Briefes, auch Realien Antiquitaten, Handelswaren, Bucher und Naturalien wurden in diesen Transfer einbezogen und hatten in Korrespondenznetzen der Fruhen Neuzeit eine hohe Bedeutung. Durch die Diskussion und Anwendung moderner netzwerkanalytischer Verfahren prasentiert der Band in interdisziplinarer Kooperation zugleich neue Wege einer systematisch-vergleichenden Erforschung der Struktur und Dynamik von Korrespondenznetzen."

This book discusses the impact of recent advances in the theory of "scaling relationships" and identifies critical issues that must be considered if experimental results are used to understand the temporal and spatial scales of actual ecosystems.

The complexity of ecosystems complicates experimental design. How, for example, does a scientist draw boundaries when studying species effects and interactions? Once these boundaries are drawn, how does one treat factors external to that study? Will the failure to consider external factors affect one's ability to extrapolate information across temporal and spatial scales? This volume provides a compilation from a broad range of ecologists with extensive experimental research experience that addresses these and other questions of scaling relations.
