ok, if you know what your looking for

Decided to learn about the Middle ages, A time period I have little insight on, except for key people and events. This book is exhaustive, listing it seems the most minor of princes in the most tiniest of principalities, but unless you know who your looking for, or what something is called, you just have to flip through and read until something clicks that your interested in. I was hoping it would have been broken down into major sections like: Leaders, Wars, weapons, Events,construction and Technology, Society, everyday living, food, jobs. but it's not just alphabetic. I think it will collect more dust as it's to general in layout for my type of research.

Excellent encyclopedia!

No book about all the names, places, and events of the Middle Ages could be as this truly good and truly helpful as the Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages. Wanted to know who's who in the Middle Ages, this book's for you. Wanted to know what happened specifically in summary from the Middle Ages, this book's for you. Wanted to know how one group of people affected the entire European civilization, this book's for you. Everything you would like to know about the Middle Ages, this book's for you! It's comprehensively informative at the same time brief and appropriate. It can lead you to a broader subject in other books specifically related. This book is highly recommendable for everyone who love history, do research, study, and perhap write a book about a person, a place, or an event directly from this book.I, for one, prefer a paperback version instead of hardcover.
