Recenzje

'Breathtaking in scope – chronological, geographical, topical – Wiesner's Third Edition weaves the latest historical scholarship into the same clear and nuanced narratives and analyses of earlier versions.  Bloody dynastic clashes, devastating epidemics, scientific pioneers, New World colonizers, witches, and prostitutes – a dazzling array of individuals and social structures, all complemented by engaging sidebars where the voices of the past come alive. I don't know of any other book that captures the diversity of the early modern era with such calm erudition and unfailingly crisp prose.' Joel F. Harrington, Vanderbilt University
