This new, compact, up-to-date text presents a comprehensive view of the Renaissance, stressing its roots in Italy--a region that never lost contact with its Roman past. The text demonstrates how the Italian phase of the Renaissance reached into the rest of Europe and how it preconditioned later aspects of European civilization--religious reform, global encounters, the Scientific Revolution, the controversy over women’s roles--that do not belong strictly to the Renaissance.

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages

This book explains the importance of understanding Western civilization, with a distinct focus on political, social, economic, cultural, religious, and intellectual topics. It stresses social and cultural themes in conjunction with the political narrative, and incorporates significant discussion of peoples and civilizations outside the boundaries of the West. Written by a single author, this historical reference contains rich visual images, textual excerpts, timelines, charts, and maps. The volume covering life since the 1300s explores gender roles, family and children, elite groups, urban/rural contrasts, cities and associations, commerce and manufacturing, and technological innovation. Global issues are easily introduced without straying from the comfort of a western civilization focus. Brief excerpts from diaries, letters, and other personal documents offer readers a sense of peoples' experience during specific times in history.   For anyone who does not know why we should know about Western civilization, and historians interested in a social, topical approach with a global perspective.

Now get ready to enjoy more adventures of the twins from Oxford, Mississippi, as the girls struggle to cope through their preteen years. Which is Which? contains more hilarious stories about growing up in Oxford, Mississippi and getting away with what they could get away with, because they could and they did. What makes their stories so enjoyable? They take you into their identical-twin world of shenanigans and you wonder, what will they do next? Or Is there anything they won't do? The girls encounter William Faulkner in two of the stories and Katherine, the bolder of the two, bets her cat-eye shooter that he can't figure out "which is which." He takes the challenge and the engaging conversation is revealing! Just like their first book, Y'all Twins?, Which is Which? is kid-friendly and is, at the same time, sheer entertainment for people of all ages.
