School Library Journal ReviewThe Renaissance and the New WorldSchool Library Journal(c) Copyright Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. Gr 6-10 Arranging his material chronologically and by country, Caselli takes readers on a world tour from 1400 to 1780. Lavish color drawings appear on every page, giving readers a visual account of daily life during the Renaissance. They include cut-away views of palazzos, examples of glassware, farm implements, the interior of the ``Mary Rose'' and numerous maps. These valuable illustrations create an effect not unlike walking through a museum. This series is for a younger audience than the ``Everyday Life in. . .'' series (Silver Burdett), and it brings to life an important period in history. A useful addition in most school library collections. Dorothy Lilly, Grosse Pointe North High School Library, Mich. (c) Copyright 2010.
