"This collection of essays examines the emergence during the early modern era of mathematicians, chemists, and natural philosophers who along with military engineers, navigators, and artillery officers, followed in the footsteps of Archimedes and synthesized scientific theory and military practice. It is the first collaborative scholarly assessment of these early military-scientific relationships, which have been long neglected by scholars both in the history of science and technology and in military history."--Jacket.
