Jul 07, Erin Siu rated it did not like it Shelves: historical , non-fiction. My worst nightmare - sophomore year. I did not put a "finished reading" date on this, because as a social studies teacher I have read this book in its entirety more than three times and will likely continue to re-read it until death. I love it, I love teaching its contents to my students and though I gripe and complain alongside them about the density of its text, I'll continue to read it forever and ever, world without end, amen.
This kind of textbook is not my cup of tea. Too many pictures, timelines, anecdotes and what have you, leave too little room for in-depth explanations. Such a good history bible. May 04, Tomas rated it really liked it. It's dry as a bone but written in an easy to understand manner. Jan 29, Christine Walsvick rated it really liked it.
Well, I read this entire book over two years, and I actually read it. I learned a lot. Sep 11, AskHistorians added it Shelves: general-history. A good overview, picks up where The Human Past left off with an overlap in antiquity and provides the historical, rather than archaeological, perspective.
Very readable, and though it's a textbook and thus most suitable for students with plenty of 'summaries' and lists of important key words , I'd still recommend it to people who are interested in history without having access to the formal education and to archaeologists who only study prehistory!
Finally fucking done with this book until the re-exams that is and it has been one of the most boring reads ever, but it's a good book if you need something specific with exeptions and as the title says, it covers the entire world. Although it has some crucial mistakes like putting a Swedish town in Denmark and saying that the NEP was launched in the Soviet union when Soviet wasn't founded until it is a practical book.
A must have for any novice historian and for history teachers. Easily digested, well written and fairly balanced. Would have been a perfect 5 if its euro centrism was just a tad lesser. Warmly recommend it overall. Jun 24, Raphi rated it liked it. Pretty good textbook, but the writing is not very intriguing.
The abbey of Cluny was independent of outside control and came to exert a profound religious influence. The wealth of Cluny proved a double-edged sword, giving the abbey worldly power at the same time as it contributed to the decline of its spiritual status. New monastic orders such as the Cistercians emerged in response to calls for monastic reform. Pope Leo IX r. The Lateran Synod of sought to break the power of Roman elites over papal elections. In Gregory decreed that laymen who invested clerics would be excommunicated.
When the German bishops withdrew their allegiance from the pope, Gregory excommunicated them and suspended Henry IV's kingship. A compromise on the investiture issue was reached in The investiture controversy contributed to the growth of noble power in Germany. The Crusades Background of the Crusades The papacy had much to gain from the launching of a crusade. The response of the laity to Urban's call was far greater than anticipated.
Muslim commentators have not attached very much importance to the crusades. Motives and Course of the Crusades Crusaders were motivated by religious, political, economic, and personal factors. The Crusades contributed to the intensification of anti-Jewish prejudice among Christian Europeans.
The First Crusade was a success, largely as a result of the enthusiasm of the participants. Between and the papacy approved eight expeditions to the Middle East, all but the first of which failed.
Cultural Consequences The Crusades did not create economic and cultural links between East and West, but they may have helped reinforce existing ones. The Crusaders set up a series of feudal states along the Syrian and Palestinian coasts. The Crusades marked the first great colonizing movement beyond the European continent. The Crusades established a pattern in which Christian enthusiasm was paired with anti-Jewish violence.
The creation of dioceses facilitated the spread of Latin Christianity in Scandinavia and the Baltic lands. The church moved into central Europe in the tenth century and from there into eastern Europe in the centuries that followed.
Spain Starting in the eleventh century, Spanish Christians participated in the reconquista , the effort to drive Spain's Muslim rulers from the peninsula. As Christians captured Spanish cities, mosques were transformed into cathedrals. Christian settlers followed in the wake of advancing Christian armies. Toward a Christian Society The papacy promoted the formation of a uniform Christian culture in Europe.
The Fourth Lateran Council of demonstrated the degree to which the papacy had become the center of Christian society and Europe had become a Christian culture.
Medieval Origins of the Modern State Unification and Communication The process of political unification began earlier in England than on the continent. After his victory at the battle of Hastings and subsequent conquest of England, William the Conqueror r. The Domesday Book collected records from the entire country, records that proved vital to Norman government. Philip II r. Medieval Germany was split into hundreds of small political units.
There were many barriers to political unification in Germany. A pattern of territorial lordships emerged in Germany. In spite of the obstacles, Frederick Barbarossa r. Law and Justice European kings tried to create uniform systems of law and justice. Louis IX r. Under Henry II r. Over time, trial by jury replaced trial by ordeal. After a series of setbacks, Henry's son John r. English common law developed in ways that were distinctly different from continental Roman law.
Political and legal unification contributed to increased hostility toward minority groups. European Jews faced numerous legal restrictions. Scholars differ in their explanations for the intensified anti-Semitism and stigmatization of homosexuality that occurred in the late twelfth and entire thirteenth centuries. Norman Sicily The Norman kingdom of Sicily provides a good example of the impact of a non-Christian society on Europe.
Frederick II r. Frederick took steps to place all political and legal authority in Sicily in royal hands. The restoration of political order facilitated the growth of towns and trade. Town dwellers stood outside of traditional medieval society. Throughout the Middle Ages, towns tried to acquire and protect liberties.
