The Art of War in Italy, 1494-1529: the Transition From Mediaeval to Modern Warfare During the Renaissance
ISBN: 9780857068149 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The birth of 'New War' in Italy
It is easy to consider the Renaissance as a time of enlightenment typified principally by the artistic and scientific genius of Leonardo da Vinci and his peers; but giant leaps forward are never confined to one aspect of society and the application of new ideas is always adapted to various purposes and the meeting of differing objectives. The creation of modern political science by Niccolo Machiavelli is a prime example of how new ways of thinking and doing impacted on the advancement and securing of power. These changes were inevitably accompanied by... The birth of 'New War' in Italy

In the last few decades the scholarship on women's roles and women's worlds in the Atlantic basin c. 1400-1850 has grown considerably.

This study articulates the connections between the history of education, reading and writing,...
