1.		The Civilization of the Middle Ages: A Completely Revised and Expanded Edition of Medieval History from Harper Perennial Price: $12.89 Customer Review: Readers who have a copy of Professor Cantor's 'Medieval History' are better served by it than this supposed revision and update. One comes away from this book with the impression that, stored on computer, its predecessor was simply pulled apart at places so that new and, alas, half-digested... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Inventing the Middle Ages from Harper Perennial Price: $11.53 Customer Review: This book is a study of 19th and 20th century historians of the Middle Ages and how they have created our points of view. I really enjoyed this work, at least up to a point. Not having read all the writers Cantor examined, I can't say whether he was entirely fair to them all, but it gives the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Antiquity: From the Birth of Sumerian Civilization to the Fall of the Roman Empire from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: As usual, Norman Cantor has produced an enjoyably readable survey here. This is an excellent read if deep concentration is impossible, say while traveling, for the material can be detailed or complex at times, Cantor's style makes it accessible without delving too deeply. Despite the main... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		The Last Knight: The Twilight of the Middle Ages and the Birth of the Modern Era from Free Press Customer Review: An enjoyable read, using one of the most underrated characters of the middle ages as a lens into the time. While I don't always agree with Cantor's interpretations, he synthesizes the important bits for the lay reader. A very nice read, for those who want to spare many of the details and go straight... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Medieval Lives: Eight Charismatic Men and Women of the Middle Ages from Harper Perennial Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Cantor tries, in a very haughty tone, to submerge the reader within the context-the Medieval Period. While some of the stories are interesting and new, just as many of them seem to be everything that you already know about Medieval History-rehashed. And although the book seems short, it is... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		How to Study History from Harlan Davidson Price: $14.21 Customer Review: Many of the research methods that Cantor and Schneider discuss here have become outdated.

7.		In the Wake of the Plague: The Black Death and the World It Made from Free Press Customer Review: "In The Wake Of The Plague" is a curious book by Norman F. Cantor where a lot of fascinating information is found in a muddle narrative. Those looking for a defenitive history of the Black Death will be frustrated by this book which is a little misleading in its presentation, it isn't so much about... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		The Sacred Chain: History of the Jews, The from Harper Perennial Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I am a Norman Cantor fan. Few people would 100% agree completely with his views, but I think that most of the time there is some truth to what he said. On many controversial points, Cantor has presented a subjective one-sided view points. On the other hand, Cantor didn't pretend to be unbiased. Thus... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		The Medieval Reader from Collins Price: $19.16 Customer Review: Wonderfully and entertainingly written history of ideas based on personalities and events of the Middle Ages.
