Year: 1992 Language: english Author: Robert Gardiner (Editor) Genre: History Publisher: Conway Martime Press Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 232 Description: This volume launches Conway^History of the Ship, an ambitious programme ot twelve volumes intended to provide the first detailed and comprehensive account of a technology that has shaped human history. It has been conceived as a basic reference work, the essential first stop for anyone seeking information on any aspect of the subject, so it is more concerned to be complete than to be original. However, the series takes full account of all the latest research and in certain areas will be publishing entirely new material. In the matter of interpretation care has been taken to avoid the old myths and to present only the most widely accepted modern viewpoints. To tell a coherent story, in a more readable form than is usual with encyclopaedias, each volume takes the form of independent chapters, all by recognised authorities in the field. Most chapters are devoted to a ship type, but some broader topics are necessary to give added depth to the reader's understanding of developments. Some degree of generalisation is inevitable when tackling a subject of this breadth, hut wherever possible the specific details of ships and their characteristics have been included (a table of typical ships for each relevant chapter includes a convenient summary of data from which the reader can chart the evolution of the ship type concerned). Except for the earliest craft, the series is confined to seagoing vessels; to have included boats would have expanded an already massive task.
