Renaissance World-Hardcover

The world of renaissance, which began in the turbulent days following the first crusade, traces all the contradictions of a world in transition. While the popes continue to preach crusades, the hope of a Christian empire is coming to a bloody end within the walls of Constantinople. While the Inquisition was gaining power, Aristotelian logic and Greek rationality were developing. As kings and emperors insist on their divine right, peoples seize power around the world: India's lingayats, France's Jacquerie revolt, China's red turban rebellion, and England's peasants.

While the Ottomans emerge from a small Turkish village, the Mongols set out from the east to set the world on fire. New coins are counterfeited, new weapons are invented, and world-changing disasters transform the world's landscape: the little ice age, the great famine, and the plague kill millions of people. In the chaos created by these groundbreaking events, the world begins to take shape. Wonderfully researched and brilliantly told, the world of the renaissance offers not only names, dates and facts, but also unforgettable characters who illuminate the years between 1100 and 1453.

Another masterful introduction book from Bauer. … will fascinate those who are not experts on the subject with its perfectly fluent explanation accompanied by timelines and maps.
