Описание: This book offers an extended introduction to the artillery and personal firearms of the Great War, with particular focus on iconic weapons such as the Maxim machine gun. It is a unique insight into the material culture that not only enabled the horrors of the Somme, Passchendaele and Gallipoli but also provided the means to bring peace in 1918.
Описание: This remarkable illustrated history presents a comprehensive account of clothing and armour chiefly worn by the English upper classes - from the Norman conquest (1066) to the beginning of the nineteenth century. Meticulously researched and exceptionally detailed, the book focuses on the civilian wear of the upper classes because "... it is their apparel that constantly changes and so most intimately reflects their times." Similarly, the focus on "knightly" armour best illustrates the evolution of defensive attire from the Crusades to the seventeenth century. Accompanying the delightfully written text are more than 300 well-chosen, original illustrations which reveal the smallest details of dress and include every article of clothing - from "sideless" surcoats and mid-leg tunics to full suits of armour and Cavalier cloaks and gowns. Also included are illustrations of such accessories as gloves, belts, corsets, shoes, buckles, and headgear. As noted by the Times Literary Supplement (London), "the selection of contemporary works of art is refreshingly individual, the drawings are lively and exact. Taken all together they make a picture-gallery of the past that will delight the ordinary reader almost as much as it will profit the student." Fashion historians and graphic designers in search of permission-free material will also welcome this concise, detailed review.
Описание: This book explores Japan-in-transition from internationalization to globalization from the perspectives of language and identity. The chapters address how national identity has faced the shift from hard to soft power, offer critical analyses of multilingual practices, and investigate what teaching, learning and using Japanese mean in the context of increasing mobility.
