Professor Richard Bulliet - History of the World to 1500 CE - Session 1

- Professor Bulliet is a very balanced Western Academic and this series is ongoing with the current semester at Columbia University.  Goes up to the reconquest of Muslim Spain and Christopher Columbus sailing the ocean blue in 1492 to massacre all the indigenous people.  It is a great free course. He has written quite a bit about Islam, even before 9/11, and is worth knowing more about (see here for example).
