Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating reference covers the weapons and armor used by warriors from the 4th to the 15th century and discusses how and why they changed over time. In the Middle Ages, the lack of standardized weapons meant that one warrior's arms were often quite different from another's, even when they were fighting on the same side. And with few major technological advances in that period, the evolution of those weapons over the centuries was incremental. But evolve they ultimately did, bringing arms, armor, and siege weapons to the threshold of the modern era. From the fall of the Roman Empire to the beginnings of the Renaissance, Medieval Weapons: An Illustrated History of Their Impact covers the inexorable transformation from warrior in the mail shirt to fully armored knight, from the days of spears and swords to the large-scale adoption of the handgun. Medieval Weapons covers this fascinating expanse of centuries in chapters devoted to the early medieval, Carolingian, Crusade, and late medieval periods. Within each period, the book details how weapons and armor were developed, what weapons were used for different types of battles, and how weapons and armor both influenced, and were influenced by, changing tactics in battles and sieges.

Book excerpt: This fascinating visual account of firearms shows everything from the earliest cannons to modern weapons of war. It also highlights how gun technology and military tactics developed in tandem over time. Centuries ago, the Chinese discovered that if they put gunpowder and a projectile into a metal tube and ignited it, they could fire the projectile with enormous force. The first guns were born. Firearms: An Illustrated History showcases over 300 firearms including pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns, machine-guns, and artillery, each with annotated close-up photographs and details of their origins, barrel, and caliber. It details the use of the firearms, not just in the military but for sport, hunting, and law enforcement. This comprehensive volume traces the history of firearms, highlighting "turning points" such as the rifle with its parallel spiraled groves that could impart a spin to bullets making them fly straighter. It also showcases iconic firearms such as the Walther PPK self-loading pistol popularised in James Bond films. With information on the great gunsmiths including Beretta and Kalashnikov and a detailed guide to how guns work, Firearms: An Illustrated History is an essential purchase for everyone interested in guns and military history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Illustrated History of Arms and Armour: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time All that can interest the archaeologist, the historian, the artist, the soldier, and even the ordinary observer, on the progressive march and the successive development of the arms of various nations in the past centuries, has been condensed in the first chapter of this book in the "Abridged History of Ancient Arms," of which several extracts, more or less modified, are to be seen as headings to the subdivisions, so as to spare the reader the trouble of looking through the whole history every time that he is desirous of information on only one point. It would have been useless to describe the historical development of each kind of arm, as these will be found in the different special chapters where these arms are described in chronologic order. This chronological system is found to be the best for a book which is destined to be at the same time a guide to the people at large, and a scientific encyclopaedia to collectors, for such repetitions as must inevitably result will contribute to facilitate study. In addition to this a special chapter describes the progressive march of the armourer's art, and gives all the armourers' signs and marks which it has been possible to collect; another chapter treats of the arms and alphabets which have been used in the tribunals of the free-judges (francs-juges).
