Summary

"The Penguin Historical Atlas of the Medical World traces the development of peoples, cultures and faiths between the coming of the barbarian invasions in the fourth century and voyages to the New World in the sixteenth. It examines the sweeping changes that took place across Europe, from the fall of the Roman Empire to the foundations of modern European civilization that were laid by 1300, and explores the birth of Islam, the rise of the Christian church and the role of Judaism across Europe. Coverage of major events - Arab conquests, the Crusades, the Black Death - is complemented by discussion of such key topics as the medieval economy, the growth of towns and the spread of printing. Illustrated with photographs, artwork recreations and full-colour maps, this is a one-volume introduction to Europe and its neighbours in the Middle Ages."--Jacket
