The Renaissance: A Captivating Guide to a Remarkable Period in European History, Including Stories of People Such as Galileo Galilei, Michelangelo, Copernicus, ... and Leonardo da Vinci (Captivating History) Kindle Edition

I am sending it back. 100 pages for over $13? Cannot be anything better than you can read on wikipedia! Don't believe the glowing reviews unless they are all from 3rd graders.

Very concise review of the period containing all the pertinent facts. Easy quick read. I enjoyed it. I am having my son read it for homeschooling, supplementing with internet articles. A very good resource with each period broken down in short chapters without any superfluous material, yet interesting additions.

It is a good and decent introduction to the European Renaissance, as an African myself, it is inspiring to see the path Europe had to take to be where it is at, and how it was detailed in so few pages

Amazing book. Going to Italy this summer and wanted my kids to read a little on the history of the Renaissance. I read this book in one day! Loved it!! Well written!!

It’s good. I enjoyed seeing the time period through the efforts important people of the time. No surprises, but then how could there be?

Good Good first approach to the Renaissance to start reading more about the subject . Easy to read and get ideas of where to search more....

Great series!

While the book has some details it didnt delve into everything. That's ok. It is a great starting point for further research. A very quick read but well worth it.

This account of the European Renaissance is authoritative and is both a thoroughly enjoyable read and a good starting point for those wishing to delve deeper into any specific aspect of that period of our history.

I found it a useful summary very badly written in parts.

O bom desse 'livro' tão curto é a divisão feita nos capítulos. São 25 capítulos e cada um aborda uma 'dimensão' do período da Renaissance de forma inteligente e didática.Se o leitor usar esta divisão para selecionar e ler um livro que represente cada capítulo, já é um bom começo.Agora, ficar só nesse 'livro', aí não vai adiantar muito.

Simple English, easy to read.
