Bubonic plague and the Black Death

Nardo, Don 1947- (author.).

Summary: Conservative estimates say that about 25 million Europeans-- roughly a third of the populace at the time-- died from the bubonic plague during the 1340s. Over the ensuing centuries it repeatedly resurfaced around the globe in smaller but still destructive outbreaks. Nardo examines the historical significance, and shows how Europe's economic, legal, and religious and educational systems underwent large scale transformations in the disease's wake. adapted from Introduction
