Thank you in advance for all those who will help seed this one as well. From the fall of Rome to the European Renaissance, and including western and non-western cultures and civilizations, this encyclopedia gives comprehensive coverage of the medieval world. Entries are backed up by primary source documents, along with numerous photographs and maps, a glossary, chronology and guidance on further reading. From School Library Journal Grade 9 Up—This well-organized resource covers a wide range of topics relating to medieval society and meshes nicely with standard report needs. Though 71 entries may seem skimpy compared to some encyclopedias, the articles are so in-depth (the shortest is 10 pages long, and most are much longer) that these hefty volumes are almost guaranteed to contain the answer to reference requests about medieval society. Topics include agriculture, calendars and clocks, children, clothing and footwear, death and burial practices, manuscript illumination, inventions, and even scandals and corruption. Each entry begins with an overview, followed by five detailed essays addressing the topic from the viewpoints of the main cultural centers of the era: Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, and the Islamic world. Most entries also contain primary-source excerpts, sidebars, maps, and illustrations. A glossary and comprehensive index add to the ease of use. The writing is clear and straightforward, if a bit dry. A useful and important set.—Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD Hardcover: 1360 pages Publisher: Facts on File (July 18, 2008) Language: English ISBN-10: 0816069360 ISBN-13: 978-0816069361 Related Torrents
