In 1039 Byzantium was the most powerful empire in Europe and the Near East. By 1079 it was a politically unstable state half the size, menaced by enemies on all sides. The History of Michael Attaleiates is our main source for this astonishing reversal. This translation, based on the most recent critical edition, includes notes, maps, and glossary.

World History as the History of Foundations, 3000 BCE to 1500 CE

By: Michael Borgolte

In World History as the History of Foundations, 3000 BCE to 1500 CE, Michael Borgolte investigates the origins and development of foundations from Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. In his survey foundations emerge not as mere legal institutions, but rather as “total social phenomena” which touch upon manifold aspects, including politics, the economy, art and religion of the cultures in which they emerged. Cross-cultural in its approach and the result of decades of research, this work represents by far the most comprehensive account of the history of foundations that has hitherto been published.

Artillery in the Era of the Crusades

Siege Warfare and the Development of Trebuchet Technology

By: Michael S. Fulton

Artillery in the Era of the Crusades provides a detailed examination of the use of mechanical artillery in the Levant through the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Rather than focus on a selection of sensational anecdotes, Michael S. Fulton explores the full scope of the available literary and archaeological evidence, reinterpreting the development of trebuchet technology and the ways in which it was used during this period. Among the arguments put forward, Fulton challenges the popular perception that the invention of the counterweight trebuchet was responsible for the dramatic transformation in the design of fortifications around the start of the thirteenth century.

A History of the Muslim World

A History of the Muslim World

From Its Origins to the Dawn of Modernity

By: Michael A. Cook

In Michael Cook's words, this book is "about a substantial slice of human history delimited by a particular cultural characteristic: adherance to Islam in some form or other. [...] A commitment to Islam makes a difference. Wherever a society and its rulers have come to be Muslim, this has meant a major discontinuity with its pre-Islamic past and a significant expansion of its relations with the wider Muslim world." Starting in the pre-Islamic Middle East, Cook returns a sense of wonder to how Muhammad could not only become a prophet of a new monotheistic religion but also unite the Arab tribes behind it and create a state that would conquer much of the territory that belonged to the Byzantines and the Sasanians, the two empires that had balanced power in the region for hundreds of years. Exploring the high culture of the Abbasids, Cook then charts the disintegration of the Caliphate and the brief rise of the Fatimids and the Mongols of the Steppe. He covers the Ottomans (Turkish), Safavids (Iranian), Mughals (India), and ventures to East Africa, Madagascar, Somalia, Southeast Asia, and many places between. An epilogue gestures to major themes in the post-1800 world"--

As the Broken White Lines Become One

A Spiritual Travelogue

By: Michael J. Gehring

In As the Broken White Lines Become One, Michael Gehring recounts his spiritual journey through the landscape of late-twentieth-century southern American Christianity. This account depicts how and why he drifted away from the Roman Catholic Church, fellowshipped for a while with the Assemblies of God, sojourned for a prolonged time as an outsider to the institutional church, and eventually found a theological home within United Methodism. What follows is a spiritual journey with a lot of turns. The work is not intended to be a complete autobiography. Significant biographical details and relationships are not included as this narrative focuses on the shifting and sifting grounds of American Christian denominations. This chronicle primarily concerns the spiritual journey that led him to United Methodism and what it was like, not only to choose it, but also to inhabit it.

Edge of LIght

By: Michael J Melton

Edge of Light" is a deeply introspective and spiritual journey of a man named Michael, who has lived a life marked by hardship, mistakes, and inner turmoil. After years of running from his past and battling his inner demons, Michael finds himself at the edge of despair, contemplating the meaning of his life and the darkness that constantly surrounds him. As the story unfolds, Michael encounters a mysterious man who appears at pivotal moments, offering him comfort and guidance. This man, who Michael begins to believe is Jesus, helps him navigate his battles with depression, guilt, and the haunting memories of his past. Through vivid dreams and real-life experiences, Michael learns to confront his fears and failures, gradually understanding that he is not alone in his struggles. The narrative explores themes of redemption, faith, and the transformative power of spiritual awakening. Michael's journey is one of repentance and renewal, as he begins to embrace the teachings of the Bible and strives to align his life with God's will. Along the way, he reconnects with his children, attempts to mend broken relationships, and finds love and support in Laurie, a woman who becomes his anchor in times of trouble. As Michael delves deeper into his faith, he realizes that the battles he faces are not just personal but part of a larger spiritual warfare. With the support of his newfound faith, he begins to see the world differently, recognizing the pervasive corruption and moral decay in society. Yet, he also sees glimmers of hope, such as revivals and the possibility of redemption for those who turn to Jesus. In the end, Michael finds peace in the knowledge that he is loved and protected by a higher power. He understands that his journey is ongoing, and though the road ahead may be challenging, he is now equipped with the strength and wisdom to face whatever comes his way. "Edge of Light" is a story of hope, resilience, and the enduring power of faith, showing that even in the darkest of times, there is always a path toward the light.
