Greenwood Guides to Historic Events of the Medieval World (6-16-02)

 

This series will feature individual volumes on key events in world history during the medieval time period that are central to the lower-level undergraduate and secondary school history curriculum and that are the standard topics for student research. Each book in the series can be described as a “library in a book.” The concept of the series is to provide a quick, in-depth examination and current perspectives on the event to stimulate critical thinking, as well as to provide ready-reference materials, including primary documents, for student research.
