Download or read book History of Fortification from 3000 BC to AD 1700 written by Sidney Toy and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2006-09-19 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The necessity to defend territory from strong points has been a fact of life since mankind first settled into agricultural communities. Sidney Toy traces the development of the art of fortification from the period of earliest historical examples down to the forts designed for defense by artillery, noting the salient features of the military works as well as the siege operations mounted against them. The castle is considered in its military aspect, as a fortress, and its domestic arrangements only in so far as they are ancillary to its function as a fortification and are necessary in its residence. This book is a product of a lifetime of travel, exploration and architectural study. The author himself surveyed most of the places described, and has drawn clear and fascinating ground maps and cross sections. There are also 200 superb photographs, maps and plans.

Download or read book Ancient Greek Fortifications 500 300 BC written by Nic Fields and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of the city-state in the Classical period of Greek history ensured a shift in the nature of fortifications in the region. No longer were fortresses designed to defend a ruler and his entourage, rather the whole of the citizen body had to be protected against any outside threats. The enceintes of these Greek city-states did not have to be very high or strong as city-state conflict was still decided by spear and shield, though some thought was still given to the science of fortification. This book details the construction and ongoing development of the defences that protected some of the most illustrious sites in Greece during the most famous period of her history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fortification: Its Past Achievements, Recent Development, and Future Progress Principles are lost in details, and criticism can have no place where dogma must necessarily reign supreme. Again, text-books tend to repeat each other with remarkable fidelity; and views, possibly fallacious, receive acceptance after sufficient reiteration. Finally, the text-book cannot well suggest the existence of doubt, may not refer too pointedly to current controversies, and must assume a large measure of certitude.
