In the early 20th century, Erwin Schramm began a comprehensive study of ancient artillery. When he and his partner Rudolf Schneider published the results of their almost decade long series of experiments, Dr. Schneider continued their work beyond the Fall of Rome. Schneider started, much as he and Schramm had with the ancient era, by analyzing the extant period sources. This literary survey work became this book.Containing both a wealth of late ancient, medieval, and early modern sources and an insightful analysis thereof, Dr. Schneider's work is intended to broaden understanding of the final development of artillery prior gunpowder. With descriptions of the construction and use of trebuchets from as early as the Crusader are and as recently as the Second French Empire, the period sources are masterfully presented. Further, Dr. Schneider's analysis is one of the great literary feats of the 20th century, combining sources from 8 separate language variations.For the student of artillery wishing to develop and use their own medieval engines, this work will provide the best possible grounding in the capabilities and designs of Medieval artillery.

A Compilation of Schramm and SchneiderTranslated: First English EditionIn 1903, Erwin Schramm began one of the first in-depth, scientific studies of the artillery of Greece and Rome. With the assistance of Rudolf Schneider, he reconstructed several engines for the museum at Saalburg. In 1910, Schramm published his results, with a second edition appearing in 1918. Within, he discussed the processes by which he and Dr. Schneider first restored the ancient treatises on artillery and provides detailed descriptions of the extant Greek and Roman artifacts. Schramm then described in detail the reconstructed engines themselves, both their forms and their capabilities. General Schramm's work serves as much of the modern basis for research into this field.The 1918 edition included an additional chapter after the discovery of a 2nd century AD Roman catapult in the ruined town of Ampurias. This engine confirmed a great many of Schramm's hypotheses and provided a basis for reconsidering some of the other pieces. Details of a reconstructed engine based upon it were added to the end of what became Schramm's Chapter 5.Never having appeared in English before, this book combines both Schramm's 1918 edition and Schneider's supplement to the 1910 edition. These works are fundamental to understanding ancient artillery.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of On Tyranny comes a stunning new chronicle of the rise of authoritarianism from Russia to Europe and America. “A brilliant analysis of our time.”—Karl Ove Knausgaard, The New Yorker With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy seemed final. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. This faith was misplaced. Authoritarianism returned to Russia, as Vladimir Putin found fascist ideas that could be used to justify rule by the wealthy. In the 2010s, it has spread from east to west, aided by Russian warfare in Ukraine and cyberwar in Europe and the United States. Russia found allies among nationalists, oligarchs, and radicals everywhere, and its drive to dissolve Western institutions, states, and values found resonance within the West itself. The rise of populism, the British vote against the EU, and the election of Donald Trump were all Russian goals, but their achievement reveals the vulnerability of Western societies. In this forceful and unsparing work of contemporary history, based on vast research as well as personal reporting, Snyder goes beyond the headlines to expose the true nature of the threat to democracy and law. To understand the challenge is to see, and perhaps renew, the fundamental political virtues offered by tradition and demanded by the future. By revealing the stark choices before us--between equality or oligarchy, individuality or totality, truth and falsehood--Snyder restores our understanding of the basis of our way of life, offering a way forward in a time of terrible uncertainty.

The Arab spring, protest movements in the EU, Russia, Turkey or elsewhere, are often labeled as twitter-revolutions. A crucial role is attributed to the new media, coverage of events abroad and ensuing mutual reactions. With the dissemination of print, revolts in early-modern times faced the challenge of a similar media-revolution. This influenced the very face of the events that could become full-fledged propaganda wars once the insurgents had won access to the printing press. But it also had an impact on revolt-narratives. Governments severely persecuted dissident views in such delicate issues as revolts. Observers abroad had no such divided loyalties and were freer to reflect upon the events. Therefore, the book focuses mainly on representations of revolts across borders.

Using the ecosystem concept as his starting point, the author examines the complex relationship between premodern armed forces and their environment at three levels: landscapes, living beings, and diseases. The study focuses on Europe's Meuse Region, well-known among historians of war as a battleground between France and Germany. By analyzing soldiers' long-term interactions with nature, this book engages with current debates about the ecological impact of the military, and provides new impetus for contemporary armed forces to make greater effort to reduce their environmental footprint.

The pamphlet here presented to the reader was written in the spring of 1916, in Zurich. In the conditions in which I was obliged to work there I naturally suffered somewhat from a shortage of French and English literature and from a serious dearth of Russian literature. However, I made use of the principal English work on imperialism, the book by J. A. Hobson, with all the care that, in my opinion, work deserves. This pamphlet was written with an eye to the tsarist censorship. Hence, I was not only forced to confine myself strictly to an exclusively theoretical, specifically economic analysis of facts, but to formulate the few necessary observations on politics with extreme caution, by hints, in an allegorical language—in that accursed Aesopian language—to which tsarism compelled all revolutionaries to have recourse whenever they took up the pen to write a “legal” work. It is painful, in these days of liberty, to re-read the passages of the pamphlet which have been distorted, cramped, compressed in an iron vice on account of the censor. That the period of imperialism is the eve of the socialist revolution; that social-chauvinism (socialism in words, chauvinism in deeds) is the utter betrayal of socialism, complete desertion to the side of the bourgeoisie; that this split in the working-class movement is bound up with the objective conditions of imperialism, etc.—on these matters I had to speak in a “slavish” tongue, and I must refer the reader who is interested in the subject to the articles I wrote abroad in 1914-17, a new edition of which is soon to appear. In order to show the reader, in a guise acceptable to the censors, how shamelessly untruthful the capitalists and the social-chauvinists who have deserted to their side (and whom Kautsky opposes so inconsistently) are on the question of annexations; in order to show how shamelessly they screen the annexations of their capitalists, I was forced to quote as an example—Japan! The careful reader will easily substitute Russia for Japan, and Finland, Poland, Courland, the Ukraine, Khiva, Bokhara, Estonia or other regions peopled by non-Great Russians, for Korea. I trust that this pamphlet will help the reader to understand the fundamental economic question, that of the economic essence of imperialism, for unless this is studied, it will be impossible to understand and appraise modern war and modern politics.
