Reader Reviews
This second volume edited, like the first one Gunpowder: The History of an International Technology, by Brenda J. Buchanan, is an anthology of twenty essays on gunpowder, its history and production. And like in the first one, the academic rank of the various entries is not even but, unfortunately, this time the differences appears to be much more marked. Together with some very remarkable entries (for example: The Indian Response to Firearms, 1300-1750, The Barcarena Gunpowder Factory, Portuguese Overseas Gunpowder Factories, Gunpowder Manufacture in Cairo, Breech-loading Guns with removable Powder Chambers) we find a quantity of essays of very scant relevance and/or of inadequate scholarship. It is a pity and, for a third volume we look forward to read, we really hope that the Editor will select the material with more awareness and more rigorous criteria.
