商品簡介
Scribner's has taken its six-volume Encyclopedia of the Renaissance (1999) and adapted it to produce this four-volume resource for middle and high school students. The entries are arranged alphabetically and feature events, people, places, monuments, and ideas current between 1350 and 1620. Definitions of terms are provided in the left margin of the entries. The volumes also include maps, tables, boxes with short descriptions of concepts, and b&w illustrations. Four series of color plates are included, on art and architecture, daily life, the city, and new frontiers. Separate entries summarize art in the countries of Britain, Central Europe, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain and Portugal. Volume four contains a bibliography, organized by subject, of academic sources as well as some books for young readers. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
