"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.

Best Stuff Non Greasy Super Shine
Scent: Argan Oil
Wow! This product blew my mind! I have fine hair, bleached blond and this product made my hair soooo shiny nothing has ever done that! The fragrance is minimal but pleasant. This improved the condition of my hair immediately and I didn't even leave it on very long. No greasy feel afterward which is important with my fine hair. I bought another for daughter's frizzy hair she was impressed.

Just a great product
Scent: Curly
Honestly I’ve tried plenty of hair mask before and none of them can do what this one does! My hair is so hydrated after 2 uses! When I wash it out my hair actually maintains the water and it’s so easy to comb through and style 10/10

Fantastic heat protection
Color: Biotin, Color: Biotin
I highly recommend this heat protecting spray because it has truly helped my hair become healthier. I blow dry and straighten my hair so much and I rarely use to protect it so it became quite damaged over time. I've been using this for roughly 3 weeks now and my hair is becoming healthier, shinier and growing so much better because it's not breaking or getting dried out. I like the smell of the spray - it's really nice. It's not sticky and doesn't leave any residue in my hair. And it doesn't leave my hair stiff like it's got hair spray in it. This spray stops my hair from going all frizzy including when I'm hot or it's humid. It also protects my hair colour too. I would recommend this.
