This study brings together military history and intellectual
history to provide a better understanding of the factors that
influence military thinking and practice. In particular, Ramsay
covers thought concerning the evolution of British minor tactics
between 1870 and 1918, from the era of the black powder rifle
wielded by a career soldier to the age of the citizen soldier in
the Great War. The development of new military technologies in the
last quarter of the 19th century led to novel tactical systems,
which included new, decentralized methods of tactical command and
control at a time when mass, citizen-based armies were becoming the
norm in Europe. While the British Army's system of command and
control evolved to meet these new combat conditions, its response
was conditioned by the officers' assessment of the rank and file
who served in its peacetime volunteer army as well as by the
corporate interests of the professional officer corps. This
development marked a watershed in military practice and theory, the
transition from closely supervised small units under the immediate
command of a career officer, to decentralized tactics under the
direction of a junior officer or NCO who had been a civilian before
the war.
Using models such as those proposed by Thomas Kuhn in his
"Structure of Scientific Revolutions," Ramsay treats military
theory in the same manner as intellectual historians have regarded
other areas of reasoning, to illustrate the forces that can shape
military theory and to provide an explanation of those that may
impede necessary changes in military thinking. To date, tactical
studies have rarely looked below the battalion level of command;
thus, the technology of the First World War has been extensively
studied, but the psychology far less so. This is ironic given that
armies of the First World War relied more than any earlier armies
on conscripted civilians from a political and social culture that
strove to suppress violence in civil society. As a result, this
book will interest sociologists and psychologists who seek insight
into the history of their disciplines, as well as cultural and
social historians who study British history.
The insights following in the wake of the Human Genome project
are radically influencing our understanding of the molecular basis
of life, health and disease. The improved accuracy and precision of
clinical diagnostics is also beginning to have an impact on
therapeutics in a fundamental way. "Molecular Medicine for Clinics"
is suitable for undergraduate medical students as part of their
basic sciences training, but is also relevant to interested under-
and postgraduate science and engineering students. It serves as an
introductory text for medical registrars in virtually all
specialties, and is also of value to the General Practitioner
wishing to keep up to date, especially in view of the growing,
internet-assisted public knowledge of the field. There is a special
focus on the application of molecular medicine in Africa and in
developing countries elsewhere.
