Description - The Evolution of the Medieval World by David Nicholas
This book covers a rich and complex subject in one volume. Professor Nicholas examines the long-term factors of continuity, evolution and change throughout Europe. He discusses the social and economic aspects of medieval civilization, and looks at their links with political, institutional and cultural development. This book meets the needs of the student and non-specialist alike in a single volume. It avoids the over-simlifications usual in such broad ranging surveys and although it is a serious and sophisticated study, it is accessible to the beginner. It also offers a balanced survey looking at the whole range of medieval experience from public administration and government at all levels to religion, education, the role of women, children and the family. It sets Europe in its wider context, with extended sections on eg, Byzantium and the Islamic world. The book is aimed at undergraduates and the informed general reader. It is suitable for courses in medieval history, European history and Western civilization.
