Armies and Ecosystems in Premodern Europe

This book is the result of a life-long interest in biology as well as military history.
Premodern warfare and animals have always fascinated me, but I never thought about
examining armed forces from an environmental point of view until the summer of 2009.
At that time I visited the military domains known as the "Kamp van Beverlo" with other
members of an environmentalist youth movement, the Jeugdbond voor Natuur en Milieu
(JNM), and observed to my astonishment that military training exercises made the survival of rare animal and plant species possible.
