This week, Danièle speaks with Dr. Valerie Hansen to get a global perspective on the Middle Ages at the turn of the millennium, including how cultures were connecting in the year 1000, what goods people were trading, and just how far the trade routes went.
Dr. Hanson's new book is The Year 1000: When Explorers Connected the World and Globalization Began.
