The Light Ages

Most history books highlight the big names, but this book sheds light on overlooked figures. I'm curious what led to this choice and how it changes our view of medieval science.

The way some medieval inventions directly influenced the Renaissance and beyond was fascinating. Did this book change anyone’s understanding of scientific progress?

The selection process must have been challenging given the wealth of history. I wonder what criteria or themes guided the choices to make the story engaging and cohesive.
