Grade 7 Up-This accessible, well-organized work is based on the Encyclopedia of the Renaissance(Scribners, 2000). The 465 alphabetically arranged entries, covering the years 1350-1620, include a broad spectrum of topics on concepts; individuals; movements; and discoveries in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Social history is also an emphasis and students will find information on censorship, religion, clothing, childhood, popular culture, love and marriage, and the role of women.
Other illustrative matter consists of full- and half-page black-and-white photos, reproductions, time lines, and maps. Each volume also includes an eight-page glossy inset of photos and reproductions. The pleasing layout features entry words highlighted in blocks of gold tones and a decorative border that runs across the top of each page. Researchers should find their needs more than satisfied by this appealing and student-friendly resource.
