Title: The plague came from outer space!
Product review: If you make it to the end of this badly written, unedited and politically biased book, you'll discover that the author discounts legitimate research in favor of wild theories like the plague came from outer space.The author inserts blanket statements throughout that demonstrate a disturbing lack of comprehension of the medieval period.He writes: "Fourteenth century people lacked the moral categories that could transcend traditional political and social roles. They lacked a critical value system that judged rulers by consequences and not the formal categories in which their behavior was structured." Huh? Ever heard of the Magna Carta, written in 1215?A far better book is The Great Mortality, by John Kelly.Don't waste your time with this one. I'm recycling mine. It's irresponsible to let anything this bad continue to exist.
