Volume 5 of The Cambridge World History uncovers the cross-cultural exchange and conquest, and the accompanying growth of regional and trans-regional states, religions, and economic systems, during the period 500 to 1500. The volume begins by outlining a series of core issues and processes across the world, including human relations with nature, gender and family, social hierarchies, education, and warfare. Further essays examine maritime and land-based networks of long-distance trade and migration in agricultural and nomadic societies, and the transmission and exchange of cultural forms, scientific knowledge, technologies, and text-based religious systems that accompanied these. The final section surveys the development of centralized regional states and empires in both the eastern and western hemispheres. Together these essays by an international team of leading authors show how processes furthering cultural, commercial, and political integration within and between various regions of the world made this millennium a 'proto-global' era

"Jewish Women in the Medieval World offers a thematic overview of the lived experiences of Jewish women in both Europe and the Middle East from 500 to 1500 CE, a group often ignored in general surveys on both medieval Jewish life and medieval women. With the inclusion of a Chronology, Who's Who, Documents section, and Glossary, this study is an essential resource for students and other readers interested in both Jewish history and women's history"--

In this final part of Tobias Capwell's Armour of the English Knight trilogy, we debunk the persistent notion that only kings and very wealthy nobles could afford complete armour. Most of the visual and textual evidence suggests that foreign importers of armour focused primarily on the provision of cheap and mid-range equipment. As seen in the previous two books of the series, England?s own craftsmen were capable of fulfilling the requirements of the aristocracy, but they were probably never numerous enough to achieve the high-volume, low-cost output necessary to supply the ?off-the-rack? market. Therefore, the foreign (and primarily Italian) harness discussed in the pages of this third volume must have greatly outnumbered the distinctive armours of the domestic English style, thus playing a vital role in the story of armour in England.
