English,
I won't lie to you. I need some serious help developing a good outline. I've started to flick through a number of history books I have at home to pull out major eras, but the best resource is all of you.
------------------
English & Gun,
"I think you'd need to have a chapter comparing the sling to other weapons" & "Maybe a section on slings verses bows."
If you notice on the outline, I have a subtopic in each section titled: - What other projectile weapons were being used and how did they compare?
This is to review other contemporary weapons, and evaluate them (range, accuracy, effectiveness, construction, use, etc.). I think doing this in each time period (each section) would not only provide some consistency throughout the book, but also be interesting to see how the sling stacked up against other/newer weapons overtime.
------------------
English, you know so much about historical weapons, can you write me up an outline for each one of those sub-topics. For instance:
- Where did the sling develop? - What was the sling used for? - What other projectile weapons were being used and how did they compare. > Atlatl > Spear > Bow > hand ax > etc > etc - Earliest evidence of use. - Review of evidence from this era.
Refining and expanding the outline will help define the topics better, and provide the writers with a clear direction.
