The Royal Flying Corps the Western Front and the Control of the Air 1914–1918

The Royal Flying Corps the Western Front and the Control of the Air 1914–1918

By the middle of 1918 the British Army had successfully mastered the concept of ’all arms’ warfare on the Western Front. This doctrine integrating infantry artillery armoured vehicles and - crucially - air power was to prove highly effective and formed the basis of major military operations for the next hundred years. Yet whilst much has been written on the utilisation of ground forces the air element still tends to be studied in isolation from the army as a whole. In order to move beyond the usual 'aircraft and aces' approach this book explores the conceptual origins of the control of the air and the role of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) within the British army. In so doing it addresses four key themes. First it explores and defines the most fundamental air power concept - the control of the air - by examining its conceptual origins before and during the First World War. Second it moves beyond the popular history of air power during the First World War to reveal the complexity of the topic. Third it reintegrates the study of air power during the First World War specifically that of the RFC into the strategic operational organisational and intellectual contexts of the era as well as embedding the study within the respective scholarly literatures of these contexts. Fourth the book reinvigorates an entrenched historiography by challenging the usually critical interpretation of the RFC’s approach to the control of the air providing new perspectives on air power during the First World War. This includes an exploration of the creation of the RAF and its impact on the development of air power concepts. | The Royal Flying Corps the Western Front and the Control of the Air 1914–1918

Samuel Pepys Naval Minutes

Samuel Pepys Naval Minutes

Over the years the NRS has published various volumes relating to Samuel Pepys including the catalogues of his letters. His Naval Minutes mainly cover the period from 1680-1696. As the Naval Minutes are a series of random notes made by Pepys in connection with his proposed History of the Royal Navy as well as notes and memoranda of his thoughts on naval affairs ranging from shipbuilding and navigation to manning and the hazards of going to sea as well as acerbic comments on the admiralty commissioners of 1679-1683 they provide invaluable information about the navy. The volume includes Pepys’s famous dictum that Englishmen love their bellies. It also shows Pepys’s relationship with the Duke of York and how much the Duke was still consulted over naval affairs even though he had resigned his post as Lord High Admiral in 1673 because of his Catholicism. | Samuel Pepys Naval Minutes

John Birchensha: Writings on Music

John Birchensha: Writings on Music

John Birchensha (c. 1605-?1681) is chiefly remembered for the impression that his theories about music made on the mathematicians natural philosophers and virtuosi of the Royal Society in the 1660s and 1670s and for inventing a system that he claimed would enable even those without practical experience of music to learn to compose in a short time by means of 'a few easy certain and perfect Rules'-his most famous composition pupil being Samuel Pepys in 1662. His great aim was to publish a treatise on music in its philosophical mathematical and practical aspects (which would have included a definitive summary of his rules of composition) entitled Syntagma music¦. Subscriptions for this book were invited in 1672-3 and it was due to be published by March 1675; but it never appeared and no final manuscript of it survives. Consequently knowledge about his work has hitherto remained extremely sketchy. Recent research however has brought to light a number of manuscripts which allow us at last to form a more complete view of Birchensha's ideas. Almost none of this material has been previously published. The new items include an autograph treatise of c. 1664 ('A Compendious Discourse of the Principles of the Practicall & Mathematicall Partes of Musick') which Birchensha presented to the natural philosopher Robert Boyle and which covers concisely much of the ground that he intended to cover in Syntagma music¦; a detailed synopsis for Syntagma music¦ which he prepared for a meeting of the Royal Society in February 1676; and an autograph notebook (now in Brussels) containing his six rules of composition with music examples presumably written for a pupil. Bringing all this material together in a single volume will allow scholars to see how Birchensha's rules and theories developed over a period of fifteen years and to gain at least a flavour of the lost Syntagma music¦. | John Birchensha: Writings on Music

Coinage and Coin Use in Medieval Italy

Coinage and Coin Use in Medieval Italy

The volume gathers together seventeen articles dedicated to the monetary history of medieval Italy most of them newly translated into English. The articles in the first section of the volume trace the development of monetisation in Italy from the Lombard period until the rise of the communes taking Rome Lazio Tuscany and several cities and regions in north-central Italy as case studies. The articles in the second section analyse different aspects of monetary production and circulation in Byzantine Italy while the third gathers together studies on various aspects of Carolingian coinage: the transition from the Lombard system and the problem of furnishing an adequate supply of silver; mints and royal administration; and the activity and inactivity of mints operating at the edges of the Regnum Italiae. All of the articles share the author’s characteristic concern with setting the evidence from written sources against the wealth of new data emerging from recent archaeological research. | Coinage and Coin Use in Medieval Italy

Rape Culture in the House of David A Company of Men

Rape Culture in the House of David A Company of Men

Rape Culture in the House of David: A Company of Men describes a biblical rape culture sustained and maintained by Yhwh and a host of men—from royal kings and princes to their relatives counselors generals and servants. This volume reveals that sexual violence in the house of David is not simply perpetrated by its most powerful men. Rather in the pursuit of power status authority and honor men form alliances and networks that support the use and abuse of women’s bodies and valorize sexualized violence against other men. The man who is most capable of sexual violence is Israel’s ideal king. Barbara Thiede deftly addresses the power and contemporary relevance of these narratives and argues that exposing and naming rape culture in biblical literature is essential—in social economic and political realms. This is a meaningful feminist intervention in the field of biblical studies and is of great benefit to graduate students and scholars of religion gender studies and masculinity studies. | Rape Culture in the House of David A Company of Men

England's Leonardo Robert Hooke and the Seventeenth-Century Scientific Revolution

England's Leonardo Robert Hooke and the Seventeenth-Century Scientific Revolution

All physicists are familiar with Hooke's law of springs but few will know of his theory of combustion that his Micrographia was the first book on microscopy that his astronomical observations were some of the best seen at the time that he contributed to the knowledge of respiration insect flight and the properties of gases that his work on gravitation preceded that of Newton's that he invented the universal joint and that he was an architect of distinction and a surveyor for the City of London after the Great Fire. England's Leonardo is a biography of Hooke covering all aspects of his work from his early life on the Isle of Wight through his time at Oxford University where he became part of a group who would form the original Fellowship of the Royal Society. The author adopts a novel approach at this stage dividing the book by chapter according to the fields of research-Physiology Engineering Microscopy Astronomy Geology and Optics-in which Hooke applied himself. The book concludes with a chapter considering the legacy of Hooke and his impact on science. | England's Leonardo Robert Hooke and the Seventeenth-Century Scientific Revolution

Reading the Reverse Façade of Reims Cathedral Royalty and Ritual in Thirteenth-Century France

Reading the Reverse Façade of Reims Cathedral Royalty and Ritual in Thirteenth-Century France

Though long recognized as one of the most beautiful works from the second half of the thirteenth century the magnificent sculptural program of the reverse façade at Reims Cathedral has received little in the way of scholarly attention. Interpreting the iconography in the light of Latin texts associated with the building its history and its ceremonial use Donna Sadler assesses the significance of the reverse façade in light of other thirteenth-century visual programs associated with the court of Louis IX. The book's chapters deal with the history of the cathedral and its architectural antecedents; the iconographic message of the visual program the meaning of the reverse fa§ade and how it intersects with the overall iconography; the function of the verso and how it is enhanced by the marriage of form and content; and a consideration of contemporary works linked to the court of Saint Louis concluding with a brief look at the new roles sculpture assumes as it migrates inside cathedrals. Ultimately this book reveals how the imagery on the reverse façade not only conforms to a system of memory and mode of medieval narratology but also articulates a dominant ideological position regarding the interdependence of ecclesiastical and royal powers. | Reading the Reverse Façade of Reims Cathedral Royalty and Ritual in Thirteenth-Century France

The Louvre and Versailles The Evolution of the Proto-typical Palace in the Age of Absolutism

The Louvre and Versailles The Evolution of the Proto-typical Palace in the Age of Absolutism

This book traces the evolution of the great palaces of the Louvre and Versailles from Pierre Lescot’s designs for expanding the former in the mid-16th century to the successive grands projets for the transformation of the latter over the course of the 18th century. Detailed architectural analysis is set in the context of the development of the medieval monarchy towards absolutism the significance of Hispano-Burgundian court etiquette as a formative influence on planning and the effect of the French monarchy’s financial incontinence on royal building ambitions. On the basis of exhaustive original research recalling contemporary testimony and re-examining the works themselves the book challenges recent scholarly accounts of the contributions of Claude Perrault and François Mansart to the Louvre and demonstrates the influence of schemes by Italian masters Pietro Cortona and Bernini on Ange-Jacques Gabriel’s designs for rebuilding Versailles. Finally the book looks at the influence of the great French palaces on those seeking to emulate their ambition from Stockholm in the late 17th century to the deliriously opulent late 19th-century palace of Ludwig II of Bavaria at Herrenchiemsee. The book includes a wealth of illustrative material and supporting documents which bring this comprehensive and authoritative text to life. | The Louvre and Versailles The Evolution of the Proto-typical Palace in the Age of Absolutism

The Myth of Arab Piracy in the Gulf

The Myth of Arab Piracy in the Gulf

The British became the dominant power in the Arab Gulf in the late eighteenth century. The conventional view has justified British imperial expansion in the Gulf region because of the need to supress Arab piracy. This book first published in 1988 challenges the myth of piracy and argues that its threat was created by the East India Company for commercial reasons. The Company was determined to increase its share of Gulf trade with India at the expense of the native Arab traders especially the Qawasim of the lower Gulf. However the Company did not possess the necessary warships and needed to persuade the British Government to commit the Royal Navy to achieve this dominance. Accordingly the East India Company orchestrated a campaign to misrepresent the Qawasim as pirates who threatened all maritime activity in the northern Indian Ocean and adjacent waters. Any misfortune that happened to any ship in the area was attributed to the ‘Joasmee pirates’. This campaign was to lead eventually to the storming of Ras al-Khaimah and the destruction of the Qawasim. Based on extensive use of the Bombay Archives previously unused by researchers this book provides a thorough reinterpretation of a vital period in Gulf history. It also illuminates the style and method of the East India Company at a critical period in the expansion of the British Empire. | The Myth of Arab Piracy in the Gulf

Musical Pathways in Recovery Community Music Therapy and Mental Wellbeing

Musical Pathways in Recovery Community Music Therapy and Mental Wellbeing

Music triggered a healing process from within me. I started singing for the joy of singing myself and it helped me carry my recovery beyond the state I was in before I fell ill nine years ago to a level of well-being that I haven't had perhaps for thirty years. This book explores the experiences of people who took part in a vibrant musical community for people experiencing mental health difficulties SMART (St Mary Abbotts Rehabilitation and Training). Ansdell (a music therapist/researcher) and DeNora (a music sociologist) describe their long-term ethnographic work with this group charting the creation and development of a unique music project that won the 2008 Royal Society for Public Health Arts and Health Award. Ansdell and DeNora track the 'musical pathways' of a series of key people within SMART focusing on changes in health and social status over time in relation to their musical activity. The book includes the voices and perspectives of project members and develops with them a new understanding of how music promotes their health and wellbeing. A contemporary ecological understanding of 'music and change' is outlined drawing on and further developing theory from music sociology and Community Music Therapy. This innovative book will be of interest to anyone working in the mental health field but also music therapists sociologists musicologists music educators and ethnomusicologists. This volume completes a three part 'triptych' alongside the other volumes Music Asylums: Wellbeing Through Music in Everyday Life and How Music Helps: In Music Therapy and Everyday Life. | Musical Pathways in Recovery Community Music Therapy and Mental Wellbeing
