  The Age of Migrations: Trace the epic journeys of the tribes that redrew the map of Europe, from the forests of Germania to the shores of Britain and North Africa.
  
  The Rise of the Cross: Explore how the church became the central stabilizing force of the continent, preserving ancient texts and providing a unified cultural framework.
  
  Legendary Leaders and Warriors: Follow the rise of figures like Charlemagne and the seafaring Northmen, documenting the birth of the Holy Roman Empire and the expansion of the Viking world.
  
  From the illuminated manuscripts of isolated monasteries to the fierce shield-walls of the battlefield, this collection offers a panoramic view of half a millennium of human history. It is an essential addition for any student of medieval studies, world history, and the roots of Western culture.

  Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri on the 30th November 1835 and is far better known by his pen name of Mark Twain.  An American writer and humorist of the first order he is perhaps best known for his novels ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ and its sequel ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ which are often described with that mythic line The Great American Novel. 
  Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri which would later provide the backdrop to these great novels.  Apprenticed to a printer he also became a typesetter and then a master riverboat pilot on the Mississippi.  Later, heading west with his brother Orion to make his fortune, he failed at gold mining and instead turned to journalism and thence his true calling as a writer of humorous stories where his wit and humor sparkled from every paragraph, his craft evident with every page and punctured target. 
  A staunch supporter of copyright protections this helped him keep much of the wealth his writing created, though much money was also lost on investments that he pursued in his love for science and technology as well as investing in his own inventions. 
  Twain was born during a visit by Halley’s comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it as well.  He died the day after its subsequent return on 21st April 1910, at his house, Stormfield, located in Redding, Connecticut.
