The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
This tells the story of a wonderful, changing world, the world of the Renaissance and the Reformation. With Columbus as the principal character, Prince Henry the Navigator, Ivan III, Johann Gutenberg, Queen Isabella, Leonardo da Vinci, Mohammed II, Nomi Mansa, Martin Luther, Vasco de Gama, Copernicus, Michelangelo and dozens of others all come to life as Foster weaves this pageantry of history. It is out of the increasing enlightenment of this era of religious, cultural, and scientific change that discovery and exploration began which would forever change the world as it was known.
