I found this book to be a really interesting look at the CONSEQUENCES of the Black Death aimed at a general audience.

The subject matter is not a close examination of the plague itself and the book title is quite accurate in that...my opinion.

The author provides a good review of everyday life, politics and religion changed as a result of the upheaval caused by such a massive death.

He also provides a substantial bibliography to point the interested reader to works that cover various aspects of the "Black Death" which should satisfy the reader looking for a more in-depth study of various aspects of this subject.
