About the Author:

From School Library Journal:

Grade 10 Up-An excellent, inclusive volume for reports. The two major sections, "The Black Death Ravages Europe" and "The Economic and Cultural Impact of the Black Death," illustrate the focus of the text. Students are given a clear explanation of the disease and how it may have spread and some coverage of its social, economic, and cultural repercussions. The essays each speak to a specific issue. An appendix that includes 16 primary documents, a concise chronology, lists for further reading divided by content, and an index complete this valuable research tool.
