By "Baroque", Kitson means the era, during the 17th and 18th centuries, rather than just the style of art. As such, he points out that Baroque art was not the only style in vogue during the era: Classicism, Rococo and Realism would all compete and influence one another. There are two hundred illustrations, one hundred of them color plates. The are numbers in the margins referring the reader to a particular illustration as appropriate; I found this very helpful. A few were incorrect, but generally only by one number or so, and it was easy to find the correct plate. I have learned a great deal more about the definitions of the particular art styles, especially Baroque, although I already had a "sense" of which was which. I was not previously aware of the complexity with which the styles interacted. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

First seen during the American Civil War and later appearing in the Franco-Prussian War and the Anglo-Boer Wars, the armored train came to prominence on the Eastern Front during World War I. It was also deployed during the Russian Civil War and the technology traveled east into the Chinese Civil War, and the subsequent war with Japan. It saw service on the Russian Front in World War II, but was increasingly sidelined by its vulnerability to air attack. Steven J Zaloga examines the origins and development of the armored train focusing equally on the technical detail and on the fascinating story of how armored trains were actually used in combat. This title will appeal to armor, military history and railroad enthusiasts alike. "From the Trade Paperback edition." No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
