Описание:
An essential guide to the world of airsoft gear, from the Rangers and Fallschirmj ger of World War II through to the Seals and SAS operators of the present day. Airsoft International Magazine is the world's best-selling airsoft magazine and in conjunction with Osprey they are creating an essential guide to the sport. Airsoft is a simulated combat sport similar to paintball. Using replica guns that fire plastic pellets, players on opposing sides battle it out in action-based games at dedicated sites. Where it differs from paintball is that airsoft is much more focused on military simulation and historical re-enactment. The players base their uniforms, kit, and weapons on genuine historical examples and pride themselves on the accuracy of their reproductions. The scenarios they then engage in vary from simple skirmishes through to complex day-long military simulations and re-enactments of specific events from the past.
This volume will focus on the gear worn by airsoft players--the uniforms, protective equipment, and other kit essential to taking part in the sport. The book will cover a range of different subject matters to represent the broad range of historical interests of those who take part. It will cover World War II subjects such as the US Army Rangers at Pointe du Hoc on D-Day through to 21st-century Seal Team 6 operators operating in the conflicts in the Middle East and Central Asia. Each chapter will cover in detail how to recreate the uniforms and equipment worn by each troop type by sourcing the different elements from modern suppliers and by creating it yourself. It will offer the essential guide to the world of airsoft gear.

Описание:
Until fairly recently, the ‘Authorized Version’ of cultural modernism stated that the secularizing trends of liberal modernity – and the resultant emphasis on irony, parody and dissolution in modernist artforms – had pushed religion to the edges of early twentieth-century culture. This Companion complicates this ‘Authorized Version’ by furnishing students and academic researchers with more nuanced and probing assessments of the intersections – and tensions – between religion, myth and creativity during this half century of geopolitical ferment. The Companion addresses the variety and specificity of modernist spiritualities; as well as the intricately textured and shifting standpoints that modernist figures have occupied in relation to theological traditions, practices, creeds, and institutions. What emerges is a multi-textured account of modernism’s deep-rooted concern with the historical and established forms of religion as well as new engagements with ‘occulture’ and indigenous traditions. In short, this Companion supplies a lively and original introduction to the aesthetic, publishing, technological and philosophical trends that shape debates about spirituality, community and self from the 1890s to the 1940s and beyond.
