Negative Positive
Title: Not as Advertized
Review: This book is totally wrongly titled. It has little to do with "The Civilization of the Middle Ages..." Instead, it is a rather shallow and superficial history of the church in medieval times. Other than church history, there is very, very little about the medieval world.In addition, the author's constant use of pejorative terms (dumb, stupid, incompetent, etc., etc.) to describe individuals is nether enlightening nor, it would seem, very consistent with what is supposed to be a scholarly work.Don't waste your money on this book.
