| Summary: | Exploring the role that towns played in the transformation of Europe during the overseas exploration and the exploitation and manipulation of the world economy in the 16th and 17th centuries, Jack (history, U. of Sydney) argues that they were the focal point for most of the critical struggles of the period. She shows how people who had the option increasingly chose to live in urban environments and learned to live in close contact with strangers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. |
