The Verge: Reformation, Renaissance, and Forty Years that Shook the World

 
The Verge: Reformation, Renaissance, and Forty Years that Shook the World

Description


"Tells the story of a period that marked a decisive turning point for both European and world history. Here author Patrick Wyman examines two complementary and contradictory sides of the same historical coin: the world-altering implications of the developments of printed mass media, extreme taxation, exploitative globalization, humanistic learning, gunpowder warfare, and mass religious conflict in the long term, and their intensely disruptive consequences in the short-term.
