"A magisterial history" (The Guardian) of humanity's greatest natural disaster--the Black Death--that reveals the true global impact and terrible human cost of this calamity, from the renowned author of The Crusades and The Greatest Knight.

"Terrific--and truly terrifying. Thomas Asbridge puts a human face--or rather multiple faces--on the Black Death."--Eric Cline, author of 1177 B.C.

In the mid-fourteenth century, a lethal plague struck the medieval world, causing unimaginable suffering and destruction. The Black Death was unquestionably one of history's defining episodes, yet a critical feature of its progress has often been ignored: the disease was not confined to Europe, but rather affected almost all of the known world, including the Near and Middle East, Byzantium, north Africa and Asia.

Tracing the pandemic's course across the medieval globe, The Black Death contrasts the experiences of different peoples, including Christians, Muslims, and Jews, charting this catastrophe's transformative effects on diverse aspects of medieval life. And crucially, Asbridge demonstrates that the plague was often at its most destructive in the Islamic world, where it ultimately played a role in the collapse of the mighty Mamluk Empire.

The Black Death also brings the human drama of this calamitous era to life, evoking the terror and the turmoil that beset cities such as London, Cairo, and Florence. Asbridge reconstructs the lives of the men, women and children who faced the Black Death--from ruling monarchs to peasant farmers--laying bare both the abject horror they endured and the courageous resolve they often demonstrated while striving to survive.

Uncovering a story that speaks to our own age, The Black Death highlights humankind's capacity for compassion and resilience amidst a global crisis to explain how the medieval world confronted, and ultimately overcame, this shattering pandemic.

Great price, very cute
Color: White
I purchased this cabinet for the laundry room. Overall it's a great product, especially for the price. I put it together by myself and it took about 30 minutes. It does come with all the hardware you need to install but I used my own hammer as it got the job done quicker. I would caution that mine came with a lot of sawdust. I ended up using the backboard for a dust collector and then ending up cleaning it at the end before install. The size is great for what I need.

Satisfied buyer
Color: White
Easy to install and hang. Material are nice and definitely look more expensive than the price. Good size but not great; suitable for jars bottles/toiletries. Not big enough for towels or thick hand towels.

Primed. Not painted!!
Color: White, Color: White
Pros: price is good. Seems sturdy enough. Size is nice. Easy to hang on wall. Cons: be prepared to paint this cabinet. it’s primed only. There is no finish coat. Looks kinda rough, Dirty and unfinished. A coat of paint will fix this issue. Install was a breeze until I got to the backing of the cabinet. You have to nail 20 finish nails with this dinky little hammer that’s provided. I was actually cracking up laughing the whole time cause it felt so silly. Took a long time with the toy hammer… once I got my real hammer all was well.
