Description
The Awakening of Europe by M. B. Synge is a comprehensive history of the 16th century, covering the reformation in Germany, the Netherlands, France, and England, as well as the settlement of colonies in America. This volume also explores the rise of England and the Netherlands as sea powers, the fall of Spain, and the emergence of Russia, Austria, and the German states. The Story of the World series, in which this book is a key part, offers a middle school reading level introduction to the major events in Western Civilization from earliest recorded history to the close of the nineteenth century. With engaging storytelling and dialog, the author brings historical events to life, often juxtaposing scenes from different parts of the world. Suitable for children aged 11 and up to read independently, or for younger readers as a read-aloud, this book provides an excellent introduction to world history for both children and adult readers.
