Cover illustration: During the 16th and 17th centuries the art of fortress design advanced from ad hoc methods which threw up towers and walls as needed, materials allowed, and fashion dictated, to a science based on the use of rigorous engineering principles. This type of systematic security architecture design was made famous by Sebastien le Prestre de Vauban, a portion of whose fortress of Neuf-Brisach on the French border with Switzerland is depicted on the cover.
