Rezension zu „The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse “
'The Four Horsemen is a well-constructed and eminently readable work.' Peter Taylor-Whiffen, The Independent 'The book should appeal not only to the general reader but also to specialist scholars, filled as it is with stimulating observations and insights.' The English Historical Review '... an ingenious and refreshing assessment of the Reformation ... a brave and lively textbook which produces a useful rapport between the interests of social history and the history of religion.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'What makes this book stand out from others is the attention the authors lavish on religious interpretations of this period of new disasters and epidemics. ... they have written an important book that stimulates even as it summarizes. The abundance of excellent illustrations also makes the book a joy to look at.' Medical History 'The result is a gripping and original study ...' The New York Review
