(4) K-3 Blazers: Gross History series. This volume presents a brief history of Golden Age pirates, focusing on their ships' dangerous and squalid conditions. The swashbucklers suffered from unhealthy hygiene, spoiled food, filthy clothing, dangerous lifestyles, and severe punishment for wrongdoing. Sidebars extend the text with word definitions and additional "Gross Facts." Illustrations heighten the "grossness," but the splatter- and stain-like graphics are a bit much. Reading list. Glos., ind.
