دانلود کتاب Great events from history. The Middle Ages, 477-1453. V.1. 477-1149

Great Events from History: The Middle Ages, 477- 1453 is the second installment in the ongoing Great Events from History series, which was initiated in 2004 with the two-volume Great Lives from History: The Ancient World. The series is projected to extend to the twenty-first century, with The Renaissance & Early Modern Era, 1454-1600, The Seventeenth Century, The Eighteenth Century, The Nineteenth Century, and The Twentieth Century to appear in sequential installments.
Expanded Coverage
Like the rest of the series, the current volumes represent both a revision and a significant expansion of the twelve-volume Great Events from History (1972-1980), incorporating essays from the Chronology of European History: 15,000 B.c. to 1997 (3 vols., 1997), Great Events from History: North American Series, Revised Edition (4 vols., 1997), Great Events from History: Ancient and Medieval Series (3 vols., 1972), and Great Events from History: Modern European Series (3 vols., 1973).
Each installment in the new series is being enlarged with a significant amount of new material—often more than half the contents. For The Ancient World, new essays numbered roughly two-thirds of the set’s contents, and the same is true here: The current two volumes of The Middle Ages, 477-1443 add 200 new essays to the original 122, for a total of 322 events. These essays were commissioned especially for the new series and appear here for the first time. In addition, the new series features a new page design, expanded and updated bibliographies, internal and external cross-references, a section containing maps of the medieval world, new appendices and indexes, plus sidebars, tables, and numerous illustrations throughout.
