The Cartoon History of the Universe III - Book Review

Science News, Nov 30, 2002

LARRY GONICK

From the rise of Arabia and the Byzantine Empire to the Italian Renaissance, Gonick imparts history of these times through serious scholarship and clever illustrations. In this long-awaited volume, Gonick details the clashes of religion and culture in the Middle East, Europe's struggle through the Dark Ages, the Crusades, and even the attack of the Black Death in cartoons that are humane, irreverent, and at times laugh-out-loud funny. Norton, 2002, 311 p., b&w illus., hardcover, $35.00.
