The Black Death (Understanding World History (Reference Point)) by Stephen Currie
Requirements: PDF Reader, 17 MB
Overview: During the fourteenth century, Europe was attacked by a pestilence known as the Black Death. Highly contagious and usually fatal, the Black Death swept through much of the continent in waves, killing up to a third of the population and dramatically changing the way the survivors lived their lives and thought about the world. The Understanding World History series first lays out the sequence of events in each period of history and then explains how these events shaped what happened next. Each title begins with a time line, helping students fix the period of history in their minds while providing them with a broad overview. Titles also include an annotated list of important people in the back matter. Page designs incorporate a parchment-paper background, and many of the illustrations are by artists of the period and often include maps and boxes to highlight particular subjects. Students with an appetite for the grisly will especially enjoy The Black Death, with its vivid descriptions of the disgusting living conditions and shocking medical treatments used by medieval people to combat the incredibly deadly disease. These concise treatments of important historical subjects should help students get a firmer grasp on what happened when, and why we still care.
