Used with Beautiful Feet Medieval History Guides 7th Grade and up. 

In the World of Columbus and Sons, a master storyteller introduces the reader to a time of great upheaval in society-a history of triumph and tragedy.  It was a century of exploration when intrepid sailors braved ocean expanses to find previously unknown worlds, build colonial empires, and secure prized commodities.  For the inhabitants of these lands, it was a time of cataclysm and loss.  Simultaneously, an era of intellectual discovery began with innovative thinkers like Erasmus, Bartolome de Las Casas, and Martin Luther, challenging dogma and exposing oppressive systems.  Wealthy patrons enabled geniuses like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Botticelli to produce unrivaled masterpieces.  It was also a time when powerful women like Zoe Palaeologus of Russia and Isabella of Spain controlled the destinies of nations.  Against this extraordinary background, Johann Gutenberg's invention of the printing press expanded the reach of knowledge, ensuring a flowering of cultural, scientific, and religious enlightenment.
