"A magisterial history" (The Guardian) of humanity's greatest natural disaster--the Black Death--that reveals the true global impact and terrible human cost of this calamity, from the renowned author of The Crusades and The Greatest Knight.

"Terrific--and truly terrifying. Thomas Asbridge puts a human face--or rather multiple faces--on the Black Death."--Eric Cline, author of 1177 B.C.

In the mid-fourteenth century, a lethal plague struck the medieval world, causing unimaginable suffering and destruction. The Black Death was unquestionably one of history's defining episodes, yet a critical feature of its progress has often been ignored: the disease was not confined to Europe, but rather affected almost all of the known world, including the Near and Middle East, Byzantium, north Africa and Asia.

Tracing the pandemic's course across the medieval globe, The Black Death contrasts the experiences of different peoples, including Christians, Muslims, and Jews, charting this catastrophe's transformative effects on diverse aspects of medieval life. And crucially, Asbridge demonstrates that the plague was often at its most destructive in the Islamic world, where it ultimately played a role in the collapse of the mighty Mamluk Empire.

The Black Death also brings the human drama of this calamitous era to life, evoking the terror and the turmoil that beset cities such as London, Cairo, and Florence. Asbridge reconstructs the lives of the men, women and children who faced the Black Death--from ruling monarchs to peasant farmers--laying bare both the abject horror they endured and the courageous resolve they often demonstrated while striving to survive.

Uncovering a story that speaks to our own age, The Black Death highlights humankind's capacity for compassion and resilience amidst a global crisis to explain how the medieval world confronted, and ultimately overcame, this shattering pandemic.

Pattern Name: Tug Rag
This is the best toy for puppy teeth. If you want to play with your pup you can hold with your hands & it protects your fingers. Our pup does prefer this toy to others & I think it is because the leather is thick.

SOOO DURABLE!!!
Pattern Name: Tug Rag
VERY VERY VERY durable!!!!! I have a Malinois and a Cane Corso who are both very high energy and high intensity. They have shredded every single toy, bite rag, and rope ive purchased butu this one has stood strong for a year so far. i would 100% buy again. could also just be thrown in the washer if it gets dirty which is a HUGE plus for super droolers.

Ok but not Leather
Pattern Name: Tug Rag
I will say it's fairly durable but when the description uses the word leather..one would expect LEATHER, not microfiber. That said..it is thick and pretty durable and the dog does like it ok. Obviously the strap is NOT meant for chewing. This is not a throw it on the ground and let ur dog have it sort of a toy. It's an interactive toy. If left to the dog most would scissor the strap off in the first 10 minutes. Something to keep in mind. In summation..an ok interactive toy but over priced for the material.
