A Vanished World - Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Medieval Spain

Informationen zum Autor Chris Lowney served as a Jesuit seminarian for seven years, and later served JP Morgan & Co. as a Managing Director on three continents. A Vanished World follows his acclaimed, award winning first book, Heroic Leadership: Best Practices from a 450-Year-Old Company that Changed the World. Lowney has raised money for charity by trekking the 500-mile medieval pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela that figures prominently in A Vanished World. Klappentext A gifted author and historian chronicles an astonishing age of culture, commerce, and scientific innovation in multicultural Spain--during the seven-century epoch before Columbus set sail in 1492. Zusammenfassung Are Muslims! Christians! and Jews forever locked in a cycle of violence and resentment? Chris Lowney engages these questions by chronicling medieval Spain's impossibly panoramic history.
