The History Of The Renaissance World by Susan Wise Bauer

From the Rediscovery of Aristotle to the Conquest of Constantinople

A sweeping, narrative account of the early modern era that follows the political, cultural, and intellectual transformations that reshaped Europe and its interactions with the wider world; it traces the revival of classical learning and artistic innovation, the rise and rivalry of states and monarchs, the upheavals of religious reform, and the voyages and encounters that connected Europe with Africa, Asia, and the Americas. By blending biography, diplomatic and military history, and cultural context, the book shows how individual leaders, thinkers, and events linked together to produce the complex, interconnected beginnings of the modern age.
