A History of the Middle Ages (World Events from 400 CE to 1500 CE)

This fascinating hardback guide examines of one of the most important eras in history, the Middle Ages, spanning the breadth of the globe and illustrated throughout with brilliant full-color illustrations.

Jestice gives a fascinating overview of this incredible period across the world, bringing to life the personalities, the technologies, the politics and the culture that defined this period in the development of the world we know today.

Includes:
• The rise of Christianity
• The astounding advances in the sciences and the arts in the Islamic world

• How trade flourished throughout central Asia and China in the form of the Silk Roads
• The terrifying depredations of the Mongol invasions,
• The crusades and other conflicts of Europe that marked a so-called era of 'chivalry'.
