Fine condition maroon faux leather boards with gold front cover decoration/illustration and gold spine lettering contained in a very good condition price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Preface; Introduction and Index. Profusely illustrated with a large section of full-color plates. "The 1919-39 period is noteworthy not only for the products of some of the first manufacturers to specialize in bombing aircraft - Breguet, Farman, Handley Page - but for the emergence of notable newcomers to this aspect of military aviation. Among the latter are companies bearing the names of such celebrated American pioneers as Boeing, Curtiss, Douglas and Martin; others from such countries as Japan, Czzechoslovakia and Poland, whose aircraft industries began to flourish after 1918; and, inevitably, representatives of Hitler's Luftwaffe, the rapid growth of which in the latter part of the 1930s set the rest of the world rearming and provided the final pre-war spur that rendered the ponderous biplanes of earlier years obsolete." - excerpt from the inner front jacket flap. ABOUT THE AUTHOR and PRINCIPAL ARTIST: Kenneth Munson, who specialized form may years in the study of military aircraft, is the author of many aviation books. The principal artist John Wood, who works with the British Interplanetary SOciety, has illustrated many of the standard works on aircraft." - from the inner front jacket flap.

The contents cover the first boats of primitive man, Viking long Ships, Sea Trade and Exploration, Sailing Vessels, Steamships, Experimental Ships, Ocean Liners, and includes Do-It-Yourself Model Building instructions. This is an increasingly scarce and sought after work not only for its text and technical content, but because of the exemplary illustrations by perhaps the finest cadre of military and nautical illustrators of the second half of the Twentieth Century. John Henry Batchelor MBE (1936-2019) was an English artist and technical illustrator, particularly known for his clear and detailed cutaway illustrations of vehicles and military equipment and stamp illustrations. His work can be seen in many hundreds of late-20th-century works on armor, fighting vehicles, ships, firearms, etc. Batchelor's work is particularly sought after by scale model makers for its accuracy. He provided illustrations for many magazines such as Radio Times, TV Times and technical interest publications such as Popular Mechanics, Air & Space, and The Aeroplane. This is one of the "Visual Books" series. The text contains shipbuilding details, tools used, as well as descriptive narrative about nautical and maritime history and technology development. John Batchelor, Brian Hiley, William Hobson, Frank (illustratore).…

L'abbazia di Montecassino ha costituito nei secoli il centro di sviluppo e irradiazione di particolari tradizioni musicali, liturgiche, testuali, grafiche e artistiche. Ancora oggi il monastero, con il suo straordinario patrimonio librario, racconta la storia culturale dell'Europa meridionale dal medioevo fino ai nostri giorni. Gli studi sulla musica liturgica a Montecassino hanno ricevuto negli ultimi vent'anni un incremento notevole.
