The Middle Ages is a fascinating guide to the history of humankind from the emergence of Islam as a major religion to the epochal voyages of Christopher Columbus. The volume begins with a series of maps that present an overview of the grand themes of history at key dates between 600 and 1492. The maps chart the shifting pattern of human settlement and the rise and fall of empires and states, in addition to reviewing the spread of trade and exploration on a world scale.
