Description

Named a Best Book of 2020 by the Telegraph, the Times, and BBC History Magazine, The Light Ages is an illuminating guide to the scientific and technological achievements of the Middle Ages. Cambridge science historian Seb Falk follows the life of a crusading fourteenth-century astronomer-monk, John of Westwyk, to take us on a tour of medieval science-from multiplying Roman numerals to navigating by the stars, curing disease, and telling time with an ancient astrolabe. Animated by "Falk's bubbling curiosity and strong sense of storytelling" (Alex Orlando, Discover), The Light Ages conjures a vivid picture of medieval life as we have never seen it before.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
