These ten thematic essays examine the three Irish wars of the seventeenth-century in relation to each other, thereby yielding important comparative insights. The military potential of England and, later, an emergent Britain, was immeasurably greater than that of Irish Catholics. John McGurk, James Scott Wheeler and Paul Kerrigan evaluate the logistical and naval strategies exploiting this advantage. Such was the disparity that an effective Irish military response to conquest and colonisation was only feasible in the favourable archipelagic and continental European circumstances explored by John Young and Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin. Defeat or victory ultimately depended on relative military performance in manoeuvre, battle and siege, operations evaluated by Pádraig Lenihan, Donal O’Carroll and James Burke. Bernadette Whelan examines the role of women as victim, survivor and, occasionally, combatant. ’You cannot carry fire in a sack’, Raymond Gillespie notes the impact of war, especially on urban Ireland.

Artefacts is a book series in which the editors encourage authors to use objects as evidence for their studies of the history of science and technology. In Materializing the Military, with its focus on military technology, the results are innovative and provocative. Topics as diverse as fourteenth-century Burgundian artillery and twentieth-century US Army Air Corps sextants, uniforms for volunteers and prosthetics for the disabled, the material culture of warfare and the cultural implications of the material relics of warfare are all given new meaning through interpretation based on examining the objects themselves, as witnessed by the generous use of photographs of the artefacts. Also included is an essay on the specific problems of presenting military history through the use of objects in military collections, together with an annotated list of selected military, naval and air museums. Authors, who are from academic institutions and museums, bring a variety or perspectives to these writings from such disciplinary backgrounds as archaeology, museum studies, military history and the history of medicine, as well as the history of science and technology.This book will appeal to serious students of military history, to curators and others in all museums of the history of science and technology, as well as specifically military museums. Nevertheless, the level of writing and the subjects covered should also make it valuable to a range of amateur historians interested in these subjects.

The great European conflict known as the Thirty Years War was only the final phase of a war in the Netherlands which was to last 80 years. In the course of this the Dutch rose up successfully against their Spanish rulers and established a Republic in the early 16th century which was the envy of its contemporaries. This volume brings together papers by 11 leading military historians from the Netherlands who discuss the processes by which the Dutch organised and financed the military apparatus which was eventually to defeat the leading land and maritime power of their day, and to maintain the position of Holland as a world power until well into the 18th century. Articles cover military matters such as changes in strategy and tactics and issues such as the financing of the war, effort, the navy, privateering and the arms trade.

《紅夷大炮與明清戰爭》作者實地勘查了散在世界各地的數百門明清紅夷大炮，並結合龐雜的史料記述，嘗試勾勒出這些西式火器的“文化傳記”，重現其在中國兩百多年間的演變過程和多樣性。紅夷大炮的操作與鑄造技術，是近代東方大陸文明向西方海洋文明學習的第一課。書中首先探索十七世紀初自閩粵沿海歐洲沉船上打撈的大炮，如何在天主教徒的努力下進入遼東戰場，並在薩爾滸之役（1619）重創努爾哈赤。皇太極又如何起用降順的漢人鑄炮、操炮，並以漢人炮兵與滿蒙步騎兵協同作戰的戰術，迅速在中原攻城略地。此事不僅在中國引發了一場軍事革命，更使清朝建立起亞洲強大的“火藥帝國”。 明清兩朝所先後發展出的鐵心銅體紅夷大炮，不僅比銅炮更輕更省，且大幅強化了炮管的抗膛壓能力，然而，即使是此獨特的複合金屬製法，在清朝定鼎之後的長期平和狀態中也遭到遺忘，十九世紀時遂無力面對列強新一代火器的挑戰…… 黃一農，1985年獲得哥倫比亞大學物理學博士學位，而後于馬薩諸塞州立大學從事天文學研究。台灣清華大學歷史研究所講座教授，曾兼人文社會學院院長，“中研院”院士，是以研究科技史聞名的歷史學家。曾任荷蘭萊頓大學首屆“胡適漢學訪問講座”教授、香港大學及香港理工大學榮譽教授、北京清華大學長江學者講座教授、北京中國科學院名譽研究員、北京中國藝術研究院名譽高級研究員等。其研究領域涵蓋科技史、中西文明交流史、明清史、術數史、軍事史、紅學等。代表作有《兩頭蛇：明末清初的第一代天主教徒》《制天命而用：星占、術數與中國古代社會》《二重奏：紅學與清史的對話》《紅樓夢外：曹雪芹〈畫冊〉與〈廢藝齋集稿〉新證》等。

"The exhibition 'Sawasa, Japanese export art in black and gold', with this accompanying publication, offers a first overview of Sawasa wares from the 17th and 18th centuries." "Sawasa is the Japanese name given to artefacts made by Asian artists and craftsmen, adopting European models combined with Japanese and Chinese materials and decorative motives. This decoration consists of refined gift relief and engravings on a lustrous lacquered surface." "Sawasa demonstrates not only the intercontinental commercial connections created by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) but also mutual cultural influences between Europe and Asia."--BOOK JACKET.
