Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up-Langley has combined in-depth research with the arresting, trademark photographs of the series to showcase a complex period in European history. The book covers many aspects of the Renaissance, including the rise of city-states, trade, art, architecture, and the role of the Catholic Church. There are also sections on dress and daily life-the basis for many reports in today's classrooms. The tersely written, well-documented text takes a broad-brush approach to the period, providing an introduction to each topic. Detailed captions supply additional information. However, it's the choice and placement of full-color photographs and reproductions that make this book so appealing. The layout features a mixture of large photographs and smaller insets, drawing the eye in with its variety and movement. Unfortunately, the index is far from inclusive. For younger readers, the book will provide adequate enough visual and textural information for class projects. For others, it offers a number of wonderful jumping-off points for more in-depth research.
