A new account of the birth of the West through its birthplace--Renaissance Italy

The period between 1492--resonant for a number of reasons--and 1571, when the Ottoman navy was defeated in the Battle of Lepanto, embraces what we know as the Renaissance, one of the most dynamic and creatively explosive epochs in world history. Here is the period that gave rise to so many great artists and figures, and which by its connection to its classical heritage enabled a redefinition, even reinvention, of human potential. It was a moment both of violent struggle and great achievement, of Michelangelo and da Vinci as well as the Borgias and Machiavelli. At the hub of this cultural and intellectual ferment was Italy.

The Beauty and the Terror offers a vibrant history of Renaissance Italy and its crucial role in the emergence of the Western world. Drawing on a rich range of sources--letters, interrogation records, maps, artworks, and inventories--Catherine Fletcher explores both the explosion of artistic expression and years of bloody conflict between Spain and France, between Catholic and Protestant, between Christian and Muslim; in doing so, she presents a new way of witnessing the birth of the West.

Easy Install, Stable, & Fun
Color: Black - 7 Pcs
These are simple plastic shelves but that's exactly why I got them. I wanted to display and assortment of my favorite figures and I love how it came out with my wall decor. They are sturdy, but I wouldn't put books or anything with real weight to them. I didn't use screws since I'm in an apartment so I used double sized sticky backs and they look great. The size is small but as advertised. Overall, functions well and already bought more!

Great low cost option!!!!
Color: Natural Wood, Color: Natural Wood
I was looking for some cute storage for my bathroom. I am a skin care product junkie. I saw lots of options but when these popped up, I thought for $19.99 I’m giving it a try. They are a really nice low cost option. They were simple to put together and hang. I’m very impressed with how much they hold and how nice they look. The hardware is very durable and the color looks great!

Happy with the outcome.
Color: Natural Wood, Color: Natural Wood
It was really easy to follow instructions. Looks super nice once it’s all put together . I did get the all wood one which I have to keep I might use a clear polish so it won’t feel rough. Once I decorated it looked super nice.
