From the author,
This review is from: The Black Death (Greenwood Guides to Historic Events of the Medieval World) (Hardcover)
To clarify the Book News notice: my book in fact covers the plague and its effects in European and Islamic society from roughly 1347 to around 1500. While sections of it focus on the first outbreak from 1347 to 1352, the chronological scope of the work is actually much broader than the reviewer indicates.
Please disregard my self-rating; providing some rating is mandatory to post to this site.

Black Death - possibly not Bubonic plague,
By
This review is from: The Black Death (Greenwood Guides to Historic Events of the Medieval World) (Hardcover)
The best part of the Black Death by Byrne is that it incorporates some of the more recent scientific discussion of the cause of Black Death. Its discussion of the many different plagues during the same period is very interesting. The Black Death may not have been Bubonic plague.
Byrne provides a comprehensive review and an enjoyable read. I appreciate how the Byrne book, published in 2004, presents the facts and assumptions. I rate it higher than the Gottfried book (published in early 1980's) with the same title. |
