Summary

"The Black Death sounds like the name of a creepy movie, but it was an actual historical event. It was the term for the pandemic of plague throughout Europe and Asia in the 14th century. Before it was over, tens of millions of people had died. Readers will be enthralled--and perhaps disgusted!--to learn of the disturbing details of this gruesome disease and how it spread. They'll learn how people coped, how the world changed, and that plague still exists. Historical images and maps help support the interesting information in this comprehensible look at an important time in history."--, Provided by publisher
