YAPivotal Moments in History series.
This series explores events that had profound and long-lasting impacts on world civilizations. More than just a dry relating of facts and dates, the volumes dig deeper into the spread of Islam (Middle East) and the root causes and aftermath of the plague (Death). Numerous sidebars, illustrations, maps (there is a minor mistake in Middle East), and art reproductions provide additional information. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Pivotal Moments in History titles: The Arab Conquests of the Middle East and The Black Death.
