The "Urban Pirate Reader And Idle Chatter" was written as a therapeutic, non-violent outlet, explaining individual daily behaviors, often witnessed social outbursts, prose, poetry, dreams, white lies and realities as I remember them or as others rattle them off in stupors caused by any number of physical or mental indulgences. Or merely the echoes of other urban pirates lost in the sea of humanity, treading the waters of life and just trying to survive. Age is the rider of forgetfulness wearing sagging armor, while trying to fight the inner demons of self control with a pocketful of ice cubes. Stitch Frizbin

"The Jesuit review of faith and culture," Nov. 13, 2017-
“A sweeping story, embracing developments in economics and science, philosophy and exploration, religion and politics. . . . Beautifully clear.”— John Lanchester, The New Yorker Hailed as an “arresting” (Lawrence Klepp, New Criterion) account, Nature’s Mutiny chronicles the great climate crisis of the seventeenth century that totally transformed Europe’s social and political fabric. Best-selling historian Philipp Blom reveals how a new, radically altered Europe emerged out of the “Little Ice Age” that diminished crop yields across the continent, forcing thousands to flee starvation in the countryside to burgeoning urban centers, and even froze London’s Thames, upon which British citizens erected semipermanent frost fairs with bustling kiosks, taverns, and brothels. Highlighting how politics and culture also changed drastically, Blom evokes the era’s most influential artists and thinkers who imagined groundbreaking worldviews to cope with environmental cataclysm. As we face a climate crisis of our own, “Blom’s prodigious synthesis delivers a sharply-focused lesson for the twenty-first century: the profound effects of just a few degrees of climate change can alter the course of civilization, forever” (Laurence A. Marschall, Natural History).
