This illustrated overview is a social history of the Renaissance in Europe. There are over 100 colour images. Key terms are defined in the Introduction. There are 25 Focus questions that expand on a specific topic such as Florence, prostitutes, and women and love. The 22 Voices features offer students the opportunity to read primary sources. 18 miniboxes contain statistical information. The book included timelines, a glossary, and Suggested Readings.--$cProvided by publisher.
