Reviews

Authored by an assistant professor in the Department of English at Radford University, this volume provides resources and guidance for 100 topics in the area of medieval history. Each entry provides a brief overview of the event or topic; traditional and alternative term-paper suggestions; and recommendations for primary, secondary, Web, and multimedia resources. The events or topics were selected, according to the author, based on the AP World History course’s coverage of the medieval time period. This work is useful as a reference source for teachers of AP World History and college professors of world or medieval history who are seeking paper and essay topics to use with their students. Librarians will find it useful as a collection-development tool for topics in medieval history. --Sara Marcus
