Rumsey examines key issues that have defined the Renaissance and Reformation highlighting important male and female figures who have made valuable contributions from art, architecture, and literature, to advancements in science, trade, and travel showing how, as a global phenomenon, this period is an important vision that has shaped the entire world.
