  "The world was changing, but it was not ending."
  
  Spanning nearly five centuries of transformation, Sir Charles Oman's classic work deconstructs the myth of the "Dark Ages" as a period of mere ignorance. Instead, he reveals a vibrant, violent, and crucial era where the wreckage of the Roman Empire was forged into the foundations of modern Europe. From the deposition of Romulus Augustulus to the death of Charles the Fat, Oman provides a sweeping narrative of the men and movements that shaped the West.
  
  The Clash of Civilizations: Oman masterfully tracks the rise and fall of dynasties. Witness the struggle of the Byzantine Empire to hold the East against the rising tide of Islam, the brutal expansion of the Frankish kings, and the terrifying shadow of the Viking raids. This is a history of grand strategy and battlefield tactics, where the author's expertise in military history shines through every chapter.
  
  The Pillars of the Middle Ages: Beyond the battlefield, The Dark Ages explores the intellectual and religious shifts of the era. Follow the influence of the papacy, the preservation of classical knowledge in monasteries, and the administrative genius of Charlemagne's Renaissance. Oman proves that this was an age of intense creativity and political evolution, setting the stage for the Crusades and the feudal system that would follow.
  
  History written with the precision of a scholar and the soul of a storyteller. Purchase "The Dark Ages" today and rediscover the roots of the Western world.

  Why is religion still around in the twenty-first century? Why do so many still believe? And how do various traditions still shape the way people experience everything from sexuality to politics, whether they are religious or not? In Why Religion? Elaine Pagels looks to her own life to help address these questions. 
  These questions took on a new urgency for Pagels when dealing with unimaginable loss—the death of her young son, followed a year later by the shocking loss of her husband. Here she interweaves a personal story with the work that she loves, illuminating how, for better and worse, religious traditions have shaped how we understand ourselves; how we relate to one another; and, most importantly, how to get through the most difficult challenges we face. 
  Drawing upon the perspectives of neurologists, anthropologists, and historians, as well as her own research, Pagels opens unexpected ways of understanding persistent religious aspects of our culture. 
  A provocative and deeply moving account from one of the most compelling religious thinkers at work today, Why Religion? explores the spiritual dimension of human experience.
