This review is from: The Renaissance (Understanding People in the Past) (Paperback)
The Renaissance is a short (you could pretty much read it in one sitting) yet descriptive primer to the life of people during the time period.Each page is dedicated to a different aspect of renaissance life and covers the spectrum of peasants to the upper class. The information given is nice little paragraphs that cover govermnet,family life,sports and recreation,crafts,printing,literature,science, da Vinci and Michelangelo,etc. It also gives a two page summary on the reformation.
I really like this book. It is certainly more geared toward children but outside of the reformation I didn't know too much about this period of time and picked this book up to help me along the way. Don't expect too much from this and you will be pleasantly pleased.

The Renaissance,
By Wanda (Haddonfield, NJ) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Renaissance (Understanding People in the Past) (Paperback)
The book covers a lot of topics; for example, family life, clothing, crafts, printing, science - but has only one small paragraph on music that gave no real information (the author notes that music was now played for entertainment and not just for religious purposes). I thought this was a big omission, and so did not give the book to the child I had ordered it for. Otherwise it was well written with nice illustrations.
