Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a facsimilie reproduction of the original 1904 manuscript held in the Archive of the Royal Gunpowder Mills, Waltham Abbey. It contains information pertaining to the historical significance of the Royal Gunpowder Mills. It is the 6th volume in the Royal Gunpowder Mills Historical Reprint Series. For more information about the Archive, visit: http: //www.royalgunpowdermills.com/history-heritage/archives/ Description - excerpt from the Introduction: Much discussion has been caused in the past by the vagueness of the word gunpowder. The following are the meanings which this and a few other words bear in these pages: *Explosion: The sudden and violent generation, with a loud noise and in a time inappreciable by the unaided senses, of a very great volume of gas, by the combustion of a body occupying a comparatively very small volume. * Progressive Combustion: Combustion which takes place in a time appreciable by the unaided senses, such as that of rocket composition or a bit of paper. * Gunpowder: A mixture of saltpetre, charcoal, and sulphur, which explodes. The signs of its explosion are a bright flash, a loud noise, and a large volume of smoke. * Incendiary (for "incendiary composition"): A substance or mixture which burns progressively, although fiercely, and is hard to put out. * Machine always means an apparatus of the ballista type. * Cannon includes bombards, mortars, guns, &c. * Musket includes all hand firearms charged with gunpowder. Of the many difficulties that beset the present inquiry, two deserve special mention. The first is the want of simple exactness in most early writers when recording the facts from which we have to draw our conclusions. At times their descriptions are so meagre that it is difficult, if not impossible, to decide whether certain projectiles were incendiary or explosive. At other times they abound in tropes and figures of speech which amount to an unintentional 'suggestio falsi'. The second difficulty arises from the change of meaning which many technical words have undergone in the lapse of years.

Download or read book Creative Thinking in Warfare written by Brigadier J Nazareth and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his book, Brig. Nazareth sets out to dispel the notion that “war is too serious an affair to be left to military men.” He traces the history of war from more than 3000 years ago to the present day and explores the minds of military leaders through their contribution to the success or failure of a war. In the game of war, he says, there is no second prize and crucial decisions have to be taken, sometimes instantaneously, in chaotic, even deceptive circumstances. The author attributes a vital role to the military commander who, in addition to being technically proficient, must also be sensitive to the needs of his men. He makes a study of creativity and interprets it for us in military terms. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs of well-known military leaders, figures which explain the process of creative thinking, and maps and sketches of combat areas.

Download or read book Explosives written by G I Brown and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This entertaining and informative book tells the dramatic tale of explosives from gunpowder to the H-bomb. Laying the emphasis on the lives of the people involved, on the diverse uses of explosives and on their social and historical impact, the author relates a story of remarkable international and human endeavour. Many of those involved - Roger Bacon, Guy Fawkes, Alfred Nobel, Robert Oppenheimer - are famed worldwide; others, such as C F Schonbein, William Bickford, Sir Frederick Abel and Charles E Munroe, though less well-known, also played critical roles. Alongside their achievements, this book highlights the uses and impact of explosives in both war and terrorism, and in civil engineering, quarrying, mining, demolition, fireworks manufacture and shooting for sport. In many cases explosives are seen to have had a significant historical impact as, for example, in the early use of gunpowder in the American Civil War, the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and the worldwide opening up of canals and railways.
