Early Modern Europe
Unfortunately, this collection is little more than a vague synopsis of Early Modern Europe that, while separating the discussion between individual sections on society, ideas, and politics, in actuality tosses so many concepts, events, and persons together that not much is gained by the newcomer to the subject (and it IS deigned for the neophyte). The result is a wilted salad without much zest. Chronological development is almost entirely absent. Events have neither cause nor effect, the just get mentioned. A confusing mess that I expect might not be of much help to the student attempting to get a handle such things as the Renaissance and Reformation.
