A Perfect Red
by Amy Butler Greenfield
A Perfect Red recounts the colorful history of cochineal, a legendary red dye that was once one of the world's most precious commodities. Treasured by the ancient Mexicans, cochineal was sold in the great Aztec marketplaces, where it attracted the attention of the Spanish conquistadors in 1519. Shipped to Europe, the dye created a sensation, producing the brightest, strongest red the world had ever seen. Soon Spain's cochineal monopoly was worth a fortune. Desperate to find their own sources of the elusive dye, the English, French, Dutch, and other Europeans tried to crack the enigma of cochineal. Did it come from a worm, a berry, a seed? Could it be stolen from Mexico and transplanted to their own colonies? Pirates, explorers, alchemists, scientists, and spies -- all joined the chase for cochineal, a chase that lasted more than three centuries. A Perfect Red tells their stories -- true-life tales of mystery, empire, and adventure, in pursuit of the most desirable color on earth.

Raiders & Rebels The Golden Age of Piracy
Sherry, Frank
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Hearst Marine Books, 1986. Tan paper on boards, brown cloth on spine. Owners bookplate on fep. Jacket is lightly worn on edges. Now in clear cover. From the Author's Note: "The era covered in this narrative - roughly from 1690 through the 1720's - has sometimes been called 'The Golden Age of Piracy.' This is because, during those decades, the world experienced the most intense outbreak of banditry ever recorded. This book is an attempt to give an account of the main events of that enormous eruption of piracy - and to portray the often-out-sized personalities who played the chief roles in it. It is my particular task in this account to try to lay bare the chain of cause and effect that created the piracy - and shaped the pirates - of that explosive epoch. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. ( more information) Offered by Uncle Books (United States)
