Zustand: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1924). SB. xvi + 108pp plates Published Price £18 Among the many valuable volumes in the well-tilled field of firearms history, this book stands out. Its importance lies in its detailed look at the development of weapons from the 16th to the 19th centuries from the wheel- and matchlock to the percussion system. Early in that period gunsmiths made customised individual weapons, with no interchangeable parts, and only rough parity in ballistics. Jackson looks at these early weapons, and then describes the Snaphaunce guns that followed them. The flintlocks and muskets of the 17th Century and 18th Century come next, with the percussion bullet completing the story. There is a substantial appendix on Scottish Firearms by Charles E. Whitelaw, accompanied by a list of Scottish gun makers. Scottish guns were finely made and had a style of their own, which is well illustrated by this section. There are 141 illustrations which add greatly to this volume's value and to the feast of information it contains. Book.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. This collection presents, for the first time, a much-needed synthesis of the major research themes and findings that characterize the Woodland Period in the southeastern United States.The Woodland Period (ca. 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1000) has been the subject of a great deal of archaeological research over the past 25 years. Researchers have learned that in this approximately 2000-year era the peoples of the Southeast experienced increasing sedentism, population growth, and organizational complexity. At the beginning of the period, people are assumed to have been living in small groups, loosely bound by collective burial rituals. But by the first millennium A.D., some parts of the region had densely packed civic ceremonial centers ruled by hereditary elites. Maize was now the primary food crop. Perhaps most importantly, the ancient animal-focused and hunting-based religion and cosmology were being replaced by solar and warfare iconography, consistent with societies dependent on agriculture, and whose elites were increasingly in competition with one another. This volume synthesizes the research on what happened during this era and how these changes came about while analyzing the period's archaeological record.In gathering the latest research available on the Woodland Period, the editors have included contributions from the full range of specialists working in the field, highlighted major themes, and directed readers to the proper primary sources. Of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, both professional and amateur, this will be a valuable reference work essential to understanding the Woodland Period in the Southeast. …
