Since the end of the Roman Empire, with its manipulative tactics in which the infantry was the deciding factor in battles, the cavalry became the main player on the battlefields all over Europe, replacing other forms of weaponry and becoming important though not yet decisive factors in battle. It could be said that an army with a good cavalry had the advantage in battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the appearance of feudalism, in many cases, the knights became real warlords, with the corresponding legal and military obligations towards the lords they served, carrying out acts of war that would soon open up the doors of history to them, through the bards who narrated their achievements, lifting them up to the status of legendary figures, full of elements fruit of the imagination of narrators of the era, some of which have survived to our times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut these men's reality was far removed from this fantasy and numerous studies have been published on the topic revealing how their way of life and social condition determined their behavior during war and peace, their weaponry, status, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes an extensive look at these and many other topics, distinguishing well between the scenes in which the most important battles of the Middle Ages took place and their players, because although they are enveloped in the same epoch, the reality was very different for, say a Teutonic knight than for a Spanish knight and so on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the book deals with all themes related to these historical characters, such as tournaments, equipment and saddle trappings, weaponry, different types of combat, siege machines and a long list of other items, until the first firearms appeared marking the end of the era.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49544168800529,"sku":"GOR006705583","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52107450548497,"sku":"CIN8496527891G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8496527891.jpg?v=1751190896"},{"product_id":"historias-de-viajes-vol-2-book-jos-snchez-9783034336024","title":"Historias de Viajes Vol. 2","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52124120514833,"sku":"NLS9783034336024","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783034336024.jpg?v=1770289645"},{"product_id":"historias-de-viajes-vol-1-book-flavia-rosano-9783034336017","title":"Historias de Viajes Vol. 1","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135401947409,"sku":"NLS9783034336017","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783034336017.jpg?v=1770288501"},{"product_id":"new-trends-in-magnetism-magnetic-materials-and-their-applications-book-jos-snchez-9780306448294","title":"New Trends in Magnetism, Magnetic Materials, and Their Applications","description":"During August 24-27, 1993, approximately 60 scientists from the Americas, Europe and Japan, gathered in the city of Guanajuato, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, at the II Latin American Workshop on Magnetism, Magnetic Materials and their Applications. The group of scientists converging into the beautiful city of Guanajuato had come from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba, several places in Mexico, U. S. A. , Japan, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Denmark. The event attested to the success of the previous Workshop on Magnetism, Magnetic Materials and their Applications, held in Havana, Cuba, in 1991, as well as to the interest, level of activity and quality of the work being carried out in Latin America in the area of magnetism and magnetic materials. Equally important to everyone present was the fact that we had come to honor a friend, Professor L. M. Falicov, on his sixtieth birthday. The choice of a Latin American Workshop on magnetism as a Festschrift for Leo Falicov was, in our opinion, quite appropriate not only because of Leo's strong ties to Latin America, but also because of his superb contributions to science, and in particular, to magnetism. Professor Falicov was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he spent a good part of his formative years.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148262732049,"sku":"NLS9780306448294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53400080056593,"sku":"NIN9780306448294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780306448294.jpg?v=1757603083"},{"product_id":"pattern-recognition-and-image-analysis-book-lus-alexandre-9783319588377","title":"Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis","description":"This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, IbPRIA 2017, held in Faro, Portugal, in June 2017.

The main concepts are exposed through a comparative analysis of historical processes, political actions and artistic works from different periods.

This notable contribution examines the background of the Spanish Civil War and explores the nature of church-state relations in Spain in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This analysis of the Spanish politico-religious conflict of 1936 shows that the clash between church and state came to be the direct cause of the downfall of the republic.

The presentations at the workshop provided a state of the art review of the fundamental aspects of the CVM and PM and their application to a wide range of problems in statistical mechanics and alloy theory. The volume begins with several articles dealing with the study of the kinetics of ordering in Ising sytems and alloys using the PM and other classical techniques. These articles are followed by the contribution of Professor Masuo Suzuki on the Coherent Anomaly Method which has added a new dimension to mean field theory, and the CVM in particular, in the study of critical phenomena. The remaining of the volume is dedicated to fundamental aspects and specific applications of the CVM in a wide range of subjects ranging from bulk and surface studies to new areas of inquiry such as the problem of image reconstruction. Since the inception by Prof. Ryoichi Kikuchi of the CVM in 1950 and of the PM in 1966, the latter after a gestation period of approximately six years, the tech- niques have found wide acceptance in the physics and materials science communities. Both methods are properly regarded as seminal contributions to equilibrium and non- equilibrium statistical mechanics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616593015057,"sku":"NLS9781461380436","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781461380436.jpg?v=1761527740"},{"product_id":"practising-the-real-on-the-contemporary-stage-book-jos-snchez-9781783204168","title":"Practising the Real on the Contemporary Stage","description":"An analysis of reality and the real as presented in contemporary artistic creation, this book examines the responses given by performing arts to the importance placed on reality beyond representation.
