From Booklist:
Gr. 7-10. This volume in the new Medieval & Early Modern World series looks at 200 years of world history--a lot for one book. The first overview chapters on China, India, and the Middle East are less exciting than the second part of the book, which discusses the Enlightenment in Europe in some depth: the influence of world cultures, the challenge to established religion and science from great thinkers such as Copernicus, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton, and the way new confidence in science and technology changed politics and social customs. Color photos are on every page, and maps and boxed quotes and profiles are scattered through the text. An extensive glossary, a time line, sources for direct quotes, and a bibliography conclude the useful book, which may spark discussion about current controversies about connections between science and religion.
