Featured Article: Jean Froissart
Jean Froissart (c.1337 - c.1405) was one of the most important of the chroniclers of Medieval France. For centuries, Froissart's Chronicles have been recognized as the chief expression of the chivalric revival of the fourteenth century Kingdom of England and France. His history is also one of the most important sources for the first half of the Hundred Years' War. Froissart's push to account for the events in fourteenth century French life through his pastorelles, narrative and didactic poems, and courtly poetry was his need to educate and involve the French population.
Popular Article: Carboniferous
The Carboniferous period is an interval of about 60 million years, spanning roughly from 359 to 299 million years ago (mya). The period is noteworthy for its polar glaciation, mountain building, and low sea levels. In the equatorial regions plant life flourished, later transformed into much of the world's coal, while in the extensive shallow seas the remains of abundant algae and zooplankton formed much of today's recoverable oil and natural gas.
