Chris Wickham and Peter Brown are experts in late antiquity and both are the two most influential scholars for us who study (early) Middle Ages. David C. Lindberg and Ronald L. Number are heavyweighters and are regarded as the highest authority on the expertise of history of science with focus on Antiquity and Middle Ages. Michael Nordberg is not a big fish but he is a famous name for us students of history because his work, “The Dynamic Middle Ages”, was a work that was aimed to the casual readers where Nordberg debunks various myths in an amusing way.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But I do know that a lot of you just don’t have time for that. Some of these works contains about 700 pages. You have job and perhaps families to take care so you don’t have time for that.

The second also deal about it in another way. The third link is a solid summarize of the work of the aforementioned Michael Nordberg, and you can trust the information he is providing. It does correspond with what I read from Nordberg’s work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
