About This Book
The Age of Discovery was a time of exploration and developing new ideas, when Europeans first travelled across the seas to other lands.
In his warm and expressive style, Charles Kovacs tells stories of key historical figures, from the Crusades to the Renaissance, including Saladin, Joan of Arc, Columbus, Magellan, Queen Elizabeth I and Francis Drake, and draws out the interrelation of world events.
This revised edition of a classic text is an engaging resource for teachers and home-schooling parents. This historical period is traditionally covered in Class 7 (age 13-14) of the Steiner-Waldorf curriculum.
