This classic compact book, published in 1909 was written by Charles Ffoulkes (1868-1947) who was the Royal Armouries first full-time curator. He writes an informative book on the evolution of personal military defense for individuals and horses, from a highly functional, simplistic mail-based harness to plate harness to the highly decorative, and in some cases, grotesque harnesses illustrating the prostitution of a craft degraded to satisfying the personal fashion whims of people who possessed more power and wealth than a sense of true combat.
For any student of the art, or for those who practice the ancient armoured combative arts requiring one to wear a harness of the period and wields period replica swords, will fully appreciate what makes this book invaluable, is the fact that Charles highlights the numerous subtleties of armour contruction and design elements which for most of us are unattainable, and who also highlights artifacts which no longer exist today having been lost during the world wars. It is clear that he had written this book after years of developing hands-on expertise of this art through his work at the Royal Armories. If there would be a good reason to include this book in your bibliography, the latter makes this book an invaluable addition. |

Книга посвящена культуре эпифитов — тропических растений, которые пока недостаточно хорошо известны широкому кругу садоводов. В популярной форме рассмотрены характерные особенности биологии эпифитов; приведены сведения о климатических условиях их естественных местообитаний; сформулированы основные требования этих растений к условиям культуры и даны конкретные рекомендации по выращиванию их в комнатных условиях. Наибольшее внимание уделено описанию самых интересных для комнатной культуры представителей эпифитных орхидей, бромелий, геснериевых, ароидных и папоротников. |

Of course such a book as we propose here is not the product of just two people working together, although the experience has been a great pleasure for us. We would like to thank our many collaborators and students who have encouraged our effort by their, often, sharp criticism. We hope that we have used their comments to good effect. Especially we would like to thank Pierre Barre for his help, enthusiasm and consent for the use of much of his thesis material in formulating the last chapter of the book. Dominique Righi was instrumental in giving us ideas, useful comments and vigorous debate for a great number of our ideas and during the periods of formulation of our conclusions. Our approach is from mineral chemistry and hence has greatly benefited from discussions with people who know soils and plants. The project of this book was realized and encouraged with the help of Wolfgang Engel who, unfortunately is not with us to see its finalization. We greatly regret his passing. |

This book is the result of a discovery made in the midst of conversation about the sudden academic interest in identity politics. We came to realize that we shared a perception, best expressed in the form of an injunction: forget the endless talk of difference, note that everyone is saying the same thing! In other words, the fact that anxiety about culture war is shared is itself evidence of the continuing homogeneity of American life. Our skepticism about the supposedly broken state of the union reflects our backgrounds. As an American anthropologist who has worked on the Middle East and done research on charismatic social movements and a comparative historical sociologist familiar with Northern Ireland and the post-communist world, we are all too familiar with societies genuinely torn by violent disorders. The United States is not such a society.1 However, we seek to go beyond skepticism to offer and account of the manner in which America has come to be held together, and to weigh the positive and negative aspects of that unity. |

Author's foreword: This brief outline of the development of aircraft construction in the Soviet Union during the fifty years of Soviet power does not claim to be a comprehensive and profound analysis of the building up of the Soviet aircraft industry. The author assumed a more limited task: to describe the main stages in the progress of aircraft construction by showing the technical growth of scientific and design thinking of Soviet designers from the October Revolution to the present. |
