Описание: What is - or makes a place - a `historic battlefield`? Treating battles as events in the past and battlefields as places in the present, and drawing on examples from prehistory to the 20th century, this book exposes the complexity of the concept of a historic battlefield and how it forms part of a Western understanding of the world.

Описание: The Italian Campaign is truly an amazing, and often heart-breaking, story, and it certainly generates sympathy as well as respect for the soldiers who fought there, particularly the sacrificed Texas and Polish soldiers as well as the British "D-Day Dodgers." In addition to the British soldiers, you gain a new and far greater appreciation of the men in the 36th Texas and Polish Divisions because of their commitment, heroism and sacrifice in these battles, much less the many others from multiple nations who fought in Italy in 1943 and 1944. This book is the third title in the NOVA Science Publishers Homeland Security Series presenting a walking tour of World War II battle sites in mainland Italy: 1. A Walking Tour of Italys WWII Battlefields: From the Salerno Landings to San Pietro Infine 2. A Walking Tour of Italys WWII Battlefields: Breaking the Gustav and Hitler Lines 3. A Walking Tour of Italys WWII Battlefields: From the Anzio Landings to Rome. These books were derived from the sights and sounds experienced during Marty Ganes South Mountain Expeditions tour called WWII Invasion of Italy: From Sicily to Rome, conducted in September 2014. The late Edwin Cole Bearss was the lead South Mountain historian for the tour, and helped select our expert history guide British Lt Col (Retd) Frank de Planta de Wildenberg, a deservedly renown Italian battlefield tour leader. Franks designed the tour route, providing the specific strategic and tactical on-the-ground details experienced at each tour stand site. Ed Bearss provided insightful commentary and likened situations to his own combat experience as a Marine in the WWII Pacific theatre. After experiencing the disaster of the underpowered US 36th Division at the Rapido crossing as described in Book 1 and the four battles for the high ground around Montecassino to break the Gustav Line from Book 2, the walking tour from Anzio to Rome demonstrates more horrific losses of men and material for little gain. The cost of attacking the "tough old gut," includes the American Rangers at Cisterna and the British in the World War I trench warfare of the Lobster Claws above Anzio. Added to these losses are the men and woman behind the lines, the doctors and nurses, lost to the terror shelling by long-range cannon like Anzio Annie, reminiscent of the Paris Gun during WWI. The late Ed Bearss history tours always emphasise the importance of the terrain in victory or defeat for the ground soldier, his or her units, and the armies as a whole. From the Alban Hills, German artillery observers could see everything that moved on the Anzio Plan, call in indirect fire from many guns with impunity, or lob shells into the port area miles behind the fighting. Just as at Salerno, the Allies had to capture this high ground to protect the beachhead, and once through the Velletri Gap, move north toward Rome.

Описание: The current geography of north-west Europe, from the perspective of long-term Pleistocene climate change, is temporary. The seaways that separate southern Britain from northern France comprise a flooded landscape open to occupation by hunter-gatherers for large parts of the 0.5 million years since the English Channel’s formation. While much of this record is now inaccessible to systematic archaeological investigation it is critical that we consider past human societies in the region in terms of access to, inhabitation in, and exploitation of this landscape. This latest volume of the acclaimed Prehistoric Society Research Papers provides a starting point for approaching the Middle Palaeolithic record of the English Channel region and considering the ecological opportunities and behavioural constraints this landscape offered to Neanderthal groups in north-west Europe. The volume reviews the Middle Palaeolithic archaeological record along the fringes of La Manche in northern France and southern Britain. It examines this record in light of recent advances in quaternary stratigraphy, science-based dating, and palaeoecology and explores how Palaeolithic archaeology in the region has developed in an interdisciplinary way to transform our understanding of Neanderthal behaviour. Focusing in detail on a particular sub-region of this landscape, the Normano-Breton Gulf, the volume presents the results of recent research focused on exceptionally productive coastal capture points for Neanderthal archaeology. In turn the long-term behavioural record of La Cotte de St Brelade is presented and explored, offering a key to changing Neanderthal behaviour. Aspects of movement into and through these landscapes, changing technological and raw material procurement strategies, hunting patterns and site structures, are presented as accessible behaviours that change at site and landscape scales in response to changing climate, sea level and ecology over the last 250,000 years.
One of the main objectives of planning and design is the reflection of the works to the space. Therefore, the starting point of this book is to reveal the research conducted by different professions in the field of spatial planning and design. For this purpose, original researches on direct application and land were included. Planning and design studies need co-operation between professions in order to fulfill this philosophy. These activities are effective means of fulfilling the philosophy of sustainability. Planning and design is a tool to tell the story of a community, and how it’s past, present and future work together for a sustainable tomorrow. The design process in which the most appropriate spatial compositions are revealed by shaping the areas in the direction of planning decisions, develops in the continuation of the planning process. This book is for landscape architects and other planning and design professions. Theoretical foundations, theories, methods, and applications will be essential parts of this reference book. In addition, this book addresses several very different subjects of study; landscape management, biodiversity, landscape restoration, landscape design, urban design, urban planning and architectural design related to theory, practice and the results will be covered.

Описание: Barrow Clump, on the east side of the Avon valley, lies in the centre of the Salisbury Plain Military Training Area. It is the site of a large, partly extant Early Bronze Age burial mound which incorporates an earlier Beaker funerary monument, seals a Neolithic land surface, and was the focus of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery, most of the 70 graves dating to the 6th century AD. Excavations in 2003?4 were carried out largely in response to the damage being caused to this and other prehistoric monuments by badgers. The subsequent work in 2012?14 was made possible by the participation of Operation Nightingale (Exercise Beowulf), an innovative military initiative to involve injured service personnel in archaeology to aid their recovery.
