- Double-weighted statement
- The monograph was the result of sustained research over a period of 7 years, delivering an original synthetic analysis covering the intertwined development of perceptual technologies of sensing, imaging, mapping, and concealment since the Renaissance. Secondary literature was scant in many areas and the research involved locating and surveying a vast array of primary sources, often of a highly specialist nature, including instruction and training manuals, technical patents, and scientific reports. The monograph’s bridging of technical knowledge and the social scientific study of war involved working through scientific and engineering ideas and condensing them in an accessible manner for non-specialists.
