Description:
A lively reimagining of how the distant medieval world of war functioned, drawing on the objects used and made by crusaders

Throughout the Middle Ages crusading was justified by religious ideology, but the resulting military campaigns were fueled by concrete objectives: land, resources, power, reputation. Crusaders amassed possessions of all sorts, from castles to reliquaries. Campaigns required material funds and equipment, while conquests produced bureaucracies, taxation, economic exploitation, and commercial regulation. Wealth sustained the Crusades while material objects, from weaponry and military technology to carpentry and shipping, conditioned them.
 
This lavishly illustrated volume considers the material trappings of crusading wars and the objects that memorialized them, in architecture, sculpture, jewelry, painting, and manuscripts. Christopher Tyerman’s incorporation of the physical and visual remains of crusading enriches our understanding of how the crusaders themselves articulated their mission, how they viewed their place in the world, and how they related to the cultures they derived from and preyed upon.

A note to readers: the grey-shaded pages throughout this volume look at the Crusades in detail, exploring individual themes such as food and drink, medicine, weapons and women’s role in the Crusades. These short essays are interspersed throughout the chapters and the main text will continue after each one. For instance, ‘Taking the Cross’ runs from pages 4 to 7, and the Introduction continues on p. 8.

Great
Color: Black, Size: 4 Pack
These outdoor lights are substantial, all metal. I have owned a set for 2 years now and they work great. That's why I ordered them again for another outdoor space.

Nice product
These are well constructed pathway lights. All metal and in particular I like that the solar panel is covered in glass. The solar panel on the cheap pathway lights end up getting dull and fail to work. The light given off is adequate for our needs. But they do not last through the entire evening. By about 5am the light becomes very dull.

Outdoor Lighting - Nice Fixtures Sturdy
Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack
After one year of use, these still work great, so we bought some more. Solar-powered, probably 8 to 12 hours of use on a full charge. Excellent construction. Northeast environment with snow, ice, and summer heat. A user-friendly replaceable battery pack was a must for us. These are not cheap, but they are well worth it. Two light levels, low and high, plus a selection of bright white and warm white, all at the flick of a rubberized weather-proof switch.

High Quality
Color: Black, Size: 4 Pack
I have only had these for a few weeks but they seem to be high quality. They look great by my entryway. I have no idea what some reviewers were saying about difficult to assemble. They make it SO EASY. They even have some screws already in the hole where they should go so there is not guessing what goes where.

Batteries stop holding charge after only a few months.
I live in Phoenix so there is plenty of sunshine for the solar panels to charge the batteries. After only a few months, several (I purchased 12) of the units stopped working. I changed a few batteries (at over $25 per battery) and the units worked fine again. Disappointing considering the initial cost of the units. I won't buy these again and would not recommend them considering their cost and their short lived batteries.
