{"product_id":"the-model-ship-her-role-in-history","title":"The Model Ship: Her role in History","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe theme of the book is the practical part played by the model in maritime development  arranged in roughly chronological order - from Ancient Egypts; funerary model role  to the seventeenth centurys use of the model in illustrating naval design developments to such modern naval architecture aspects as tank testing  stability simulation  war-damage control and even to its use in filming naval battles (such as the television series Hornblower). A major aim is to help the reader acquire a critical eye for classifying model types and list many of the major model collections. It is not  however  a how-to-do-it model guide. While the book will explain and illustrate the undoubted aesthetic qualities of models for those interested in maritime history  it will be a particularly useful reference work for collectors  dealers and museum staff with a commercial interest in ship models.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986554023989,"sku":"ByrdShop_1851493271","price":35.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781851493272.jpg?v=1770909115","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-model-ship-her-role-in-history","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
