Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Corn Milling, Vol. 4 The short histories of mills comprising this concluding volume are intended to illustrate the actual operation of the various laws and customs already recited in detail. They recount how, in accordance with those laws and customs, milling soke in each district was locally created by the superior lord; how it was maintained, by his heirs or assigns, with considerable trouble to themselves and much anxiety to the public; and how, finally, with the march of the times the force of popular hostility gradually overcame and extinguished it. This was the general fate of milling soke throughout the country, though in some few instances, as related in a previous volume, the ancient privileges had been preserved even down to the present century, and were only abolished at last by public purchase. It will be remembered that, as no general statute law had created soke, so no law at one stroke abolished it throughout the kingdom. Thus each district was thrown entirely upon its own resources to obtain relief from what, once a valuable boon, had become an intolerable yoke on the people and an impolitic hindrance to industrial and commercial progress. Histories of corn mills constitute a somewhat novel branch of archaeology. But since the issue of the first volume of this work, various local antiquaries have shown that it is an interesting and fruitful one; an excellent illustration of what may be done in this direction being afforded by a history of certain ancient mills at Glasgow, written by their owner, a practical miller, Mr. James White, F.S.A. (Scotland). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The History of Grinding written by Alban J. Lynch and published by SME. This book was released on 2005 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth examination of the oldest engineering process, The History of Grinding begins at the start of agriculture and outlines how size reduction developed over the centuries(without completely immersing the reader in technical detail). Great technical achievements have led to the machines of today, which can grind solid particles at the rate of tens of thousands of tons per day. One certainty is the existence of the continuing need for size reduction to develop and fit the lifestyles of people both today and in the future. Photos and illustrations gleaned from numerous sources, a glossary, reference list, and index enhance the text. Chapters include Size Reduction from the Stone Age to the Space Age; The Science and the Scientists; Hand Stones; Water Wheels, Windmills, and Beyond; Stamp Mills and Crushers; Roller Mills; Tumbling Mills; Fine-Grinding Mills; Classifiers; Explosive Rock Breakage; and Size Reduction in the 21st Century.

Book excerpt: This book is the most comprehensive empirical study to date of the social and technical aspects of milling during the ancient and medieval periods.Drawing on the latest archaeological evidence and historical studies, the book examines the chronological development and technical details of handmills, beast mills, watermills and windmills from the first millennium BCE to c. 1500. It discusses the many and varied uses to which mills were turned in the civilisations of Rome, China, Islam and Europe, and the many types of mill that existed.The book also includes comparative regional studies of the social and economic significance of milling, and tackles several important historiographical issues, such as whether technological stagnation was a characteristic of late Antiquity, whether there was an industrial revolution" in the European Middle Ages based on waterpower, and how contemporary studies in the social shaping of technology can shed light on the study of pre-modern technology."
Download or read book American Military History Volume 1 written by Army Center of Military History and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.
