Eagerly Awaited Second Volume Release

I never know what I am going to find when I get to bopping around the internet. In this case, I discovered that Susan Wise Bauer's The History of the Medieval World finally officially released last week. The is the second of a 4 volume "history of the whole world." Many homeschoolers love Susan's Story of the World. It is my impression that this is an expanded and grown up version, so to speak.

The History of the Medieval World: From the Conversion of Constantine to the First Crusade

Excerpt from review:
A masterful narrative of the Middle Ages, when religion became a weapon for kings all over the world. From the schism between Rome and Constantinople to the rise of the T’ang Dynasty, from the birth of Muhammad to the crowning of Charlemagne, this erudite book tells the fascinating, often violent story of kings, generals, and the peoples they ruled.
