Chasseur American Privateer with British Brig Drake, 1815, a 1960 oil painting by Arthur N. Disney Sr., depicts the U.S. privateer Chasseur in action against a British warship during the War of 1812. Chasseur was built as a merchant vessel and began the War of 1812 as a blockade-runner between Baltimore and the West Indies before its owners concluded privateering would be a more lucrative use of the vessel. It went on to be one of the most successful and profitable privateers of the war before returning to merchant service at the conclusion of the conflict. In “Outsourcing Security at Sea: The Return of Private Maritime- Security Companies and Their Role in Twenty-First-Century Maritime Security,” Pieter W. G. Zhao explores the political and economic factors behind the early emergence of private and mercenary naval forces and behind privateering’s eventual extinction and uses this history to illuminate the return of privatized maritime security to address modern-day piracy in Southeast Asia and off Africa.
Here at Perkology we still manually inspect and grade each and every book that comes into our warehouse to ensure that you know exactly what to expect when you receive your second hand book.
The criteria that we use to grade used books are as follows:
Like New: an apparently unread copy in perfect condition. Dust cover is intact with no nicks or tears. Spine has no signs of creasing. Pages are clean and not marred by notes or folds of any kind. Books may contain a remainder mark on an outside edge, but this should be noted in the listing comments. Any accompanying CDs or DVDs must be present.Very Good: a copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Any accompanying CDs or DVDs must be present.
Good: a copy that has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact (including the dust cover, if applicable). The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels. Books may have any accompanying access codes for additional or replacement content missing or redeemed.
Acceptable: a readable copy. All pages and the cover are intact (the dust cover may be missing). Pages can include considerable notes – in pen or highlighter – but notes cannot obscure the text. Books may have any accompanying access codes for additional or replacement content missing or redeemed.
