Description: K¹²'s The Human Odyssey series puts the story back in history with a gripping narrative of adventure, struggle, and triumph, helping us understand where we have been, where we are now, and where we might be headed. The odyssey continues in 1400 with the rediscovery of classical Greece and Rome during the Renaissance, and moves through major developments in Islamic and Asian cultures into the great Age of Exploration. The final half of the volume surveys the democratic and industrial revolutions that would see the birth of new nations and new ways of life, leading to the brink of World War I. Full-color images, diagrams, maps, and charts throughout. An appendix of geographic terms and concepts augments an atlas, glossary, pronunciation guide, and index.
Notes: Includes indexes.
