Military manuals allowed the progression of the Military Revolution from the informed amateur towards the scientific, mathematical choreography for massed troops at the height of the Military Revolution, and their use as a viable historical resource often taken at face value - negating their worth. Using correlated GIS, landscape archaeology, metal detecting, military knowledge and experimental archaeology, we might understand more fully the limitations and strengths drill books provide us. Like a dance, military theory provides a certain number of ways individuals may progress through a landscape. Using examples taken from recent investigations at sites such as Edgehill, Lutzen and Lostwithiel, this paper shall examine to what extent individual drill can be identified in the archaeological record. This publication hopes to prove to what level and extent this can be applied to predictive modeling of artifact collections on battlefields - thus providing depth to the archaeological study of fields of conflict. Like investigations on the Little Bighorn battlefield, through use of wear analysis of the material remains of conflict, we can effectively tell the nuances of individual drill, practice and movement of people across a landscape; their drill actively mirroring subtleties in our understanding of interpretation. Taking the works of such writers and artists as Bariffe, de Gheyn and Ward, the author attempts to actively break down how individual and group drill will leave material remains and the archaeological means these might be taken down, but equally, this work also attempts to investigate and breach the subject of whether such manuals can also be used to dictate the survivability of 17th century fortifications - often within urban landscapes devoid of their civil war origins, as can be seen at Alton and Basing House. Theoretical in its nature and utilizing and combining elements of research not previously collaborated, The Arte Militaire is unique in not merely showing how military manuals were used, but rather how they can still be seen within the historical landscape.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735722565905,"sku":"NGR9781911096221","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52089588941073,"sku":"GOR009720405","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911096222.jpg?v=1751632008"},{"product_id":"monmouth-s-first-rebellion-book-warwick-louth-9781804512005","title":"Monmouth's First Rebellion","description":"In July 1685, the Duke of Monmouth led his rebel army to defeat at Sedgemoor. In recent years highlighted for his attention to logistics and popular support, in spite of this, it always seems amazing that Monmouth was willing to risk such an initiative, with little more than hurriedly raised local militias. Yet this is to belittle Monmouth's experience six years previously, when sent with a Government army, to suppress a Whig Covenanter Rising in South West Scotland. In light of previous attempts, Scots Government officials deemed any such rebellion as a flash in the pan; short-lived, unorganized and unrealistic in its aims.Yet in 1679, after the Battle of Drumclog, the Covenanters had formed a coherent force along conventional lines, besieged Glasgow, and forced the Scot's Establishment Government army to seek English support. Far from being a local 'Pitchfork Rebellion' this was something different. What did Monmouth see in these Covenanters that convinced him such an armed force could be effective in 1685?Until recently, the history of the 'Killing Times' in Scotland has often been the sole preserve of theological, genealogical and political histories, more concerned behind the moral thought process governing both sides of the divide, than the physical process of enacting rebellion. Where it has reached popular or even military history, the period has been relegated to the foot notes. How the Covenanters were able to organize and enact a popular rebellion, or indeed how their Government oppressors suppressed it, has never before been collected in one place.Equally the battlefields and sites of popular protest, despite isolated monuments erected by Presbyterian congregations, remain unrecognized, often unprotected and almost entirely forgotten, despite having local, national and international significance. Indeed, without the Covenanter Rebellions bloody outcome, the Glorious Revolution and Jacobite Wars may have ended very differently today. Acting as a proving ground for local policing, the list of colorful characters that would late be eulogized during wars against France in the early 18th century is astounding.Putting the later Covenanter Rebellions in their proper socio-economic, political and military context, \u003ci\u003eMonmouth's First Rebellion\u003c\/i\u003e hopes to raise the profile of this oft-forgotten conflict. Through combining expert analysis of training, clothing and tactics, while also being able to walk the ground, this will be essential reading for historians, genealogists, wargamers and reenactors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49747427590417,"sku":"NGR9781804512005","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1804512001.jpg?v=1751632685"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-warwick-louth.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
