The History of the Renaissance World (Textbook), by Susan Wise Bauer
* Discusses the history of the renaissance world, covering the time period from the Crusaders and the beginning of the Renaissance in the 1100s to the fall of Constantinople and the end of the Hundred Years’ War in the 1450s.
* Where the author descends into the graphic, the text is parent-censored via sticky-note. Additionally, as our students thought the front cover was a bit graphic, the reverse side of the cover jacket features a student-drawn alternate version of the cover. Finally, there are several teacher’s notes penciled in the margins.
* Recommended in The Well-Trained Mind.

History of the Ancient World + Teachers Guide
INCLUDES BOTH BOOKS- Hardback book and Softcover teachers guide
This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country.
Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history.
Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This narrative history employs the methods of “history from beneath”—literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts—to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them
