Course Description This course explores European civilization during the Early Modern era, a period crucial to the shaping of the modern world. The period begins about the time of the invention of printing and the voyages of Christopher Columbus and ends with the French Revolution. These centuries form a transition form the medieval to the modern worlds, but also stand together as a distinctive and turbulent period. Coursewriter Kathleen Kamerick, Adjunct Assistant Professor at The University of Iowa, is both coursewriter and instructor. Orders are shipped via UPS, so please include a street address.
