The Middle Ages was a period of great scientific and technological advancement. Trade increased as towns began to grow, and medieval people found more efficient ways of doing work by inventing new machines.

Easy-to-understand text and brilliant full-color illustrations will help children follow the advancements in medicine, military weapons, and astrology up until 1500. Topics include: The power provided by watermills and windmills for laundering clothes, casting iron, and pressing olive oil; How the development of textiles such as silks, wool, and leather affected trade with China and the Middle East in the 1200s; How African craft workers worked with metal, and the bronze and gold sculptures and jewelry that they made; Medieval peoples' belief in the four humors, and the surgical procedures and herbal remedies used; Astrological inventions such as China's water clock.
