Description

The Natural and the Supernatural in the Middle AgesHow did people of the medieval period explain physical phenomena, such as eclipses or the distribution of land and water on the globe? What creatures did they think they might encounter: angels, devils, witches, dogheaded people? This fascinating book explores the ways in which medieval people categorized the world, concentrating on the division between the natural and the supernatural and showing how the idea of the supernatural came to be invented

How did people of the medieval period explain physical phenomena, such as eclipses or the distribution of land and water on the globe? What creatures did they think they might encounter: angels, devils, witches, dogheaded people? This fascinating book explores the ways in which medieval people categorized the world, concentrating on the division between the natural and the supernatural and showing how the idea of the supernatural came to be invented in the Middle Ages. Robert Bartlett examines how theologians and others sought to draw lines between the natural, the miraculous, the marvelous and the monstrous, and the many conceptual problems they encountered as they did so. The final chapter explores the extraordinary thought-world of Roger Bacon as a case study exemplifying these issues. By recovering the mentalities of medieval writers and thinkers the book raises the critical question of how we deal with beliefs we no longer share.

VERY comfortable shoe, great for wearing on long days.
Size: 11, Color: All Black
VERY comfortable shoe for the price!! Just as comfortable as my name brand shoes, Nike, ASICS and Adidas. Not sure how long these will last only have had them for a short time, I will update my review at a later date for that! It does run pretty wide, I have a wide forefoot it was large on me. I recommend ordering at least a 1/2 -full size down if you are a woman wearing this shoe. I normally wear a 10.5 men's, I ordered an 11, it was large on me. Good amount of stretch to the shoe as well, good and breathable. I did retrofit an arch support insert and replaced the he laces with elastic ones. Made the shoe EXTREMELY easy to wear and put on hands free (when needed). I have to say it's great for a variety of activities, as well. So fa wore to work, vacation walking and running errands.

Exactly the shoes I've been looking for...
Size: 11, Color: All Black
I attend a lot of concerts and an annual 5 day music festival in Baltimore. Needless to say it is a lot of walking and standing on concrete. Of course my feet, knees and legs absorb a lot of punishment especially at 61 years young. I looked around on Amazon before attending this year in hopes to find shoes that may help at a reasonable cost. Let me tell you I just returned from this years fest and all I can say is buying these Feethit Sneakers was the best decision I made. Super comfortable, didn't require a lot of break in, lightweight, flexible with fantastic support. Everything I had hoped to find and can't believe all the boxes were checked with one show. 5 days of walking and standing and could have easily done 5 more. Thanks so much Feethit !!!!
