Barbara H. Rosenweins bestselling survey text continues to stand out by integrating the history of three medieval civilizations (European; Byzantine; and Islamic) in a lively narrative that is complemented beautifully by full-color plates; maps; and genealogies. The fourth edition begins with an essay entitled "Why the Middle Ages Matter Today;" and the book now covers East Central Europe in some depth. New plates and maps have been added along with a new "Seeing the Middle Ages" feature. The sections for further reading have been updated; and ancillary materials; including study questions; can be found on the History Matters website (www.utphistorymatters.com).

Great place to start a fun read!By PAny kid who starts his own business before hes out of high school is pretty darn passionate; and now that the author; Ian Anderson; is in his early 20s; hes had years of experience running an indie label. It shows in his down-to-earth advice. The music business is changing dramatically; and this book is a terrific snapshot of whats great about indie labels and creative indie musicians. A fun read; well laid-out; and a great gift for the garage band in your life.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Info for those interested in starting their own labelBy Fatty McChubsIt is an easy; fun read. What I liked best about this book is; unlike others on the subject; it lays out some of the groundwork operations for those who want to start a label from nothing; right now. On the other hand it has information about the operations of a label that is actually selling records and is being recognized by people such as those at rollingstone and pitchfork.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very Informative Book; A Bit BriefBy M. BachochinThis book is an all around good source of information; I felt. It covers a wide range of topics; almost like an FAQ put into book form. It guides the reader through several levels; from beginning a record label; all the way to the big times (not so big that its unrealistic though). Anyways; this book was a great; smooth read - not slow at all - and briefly goes over what seems to be about 75%-90% of the record label industry. Highly recommended.
