2.Galileo s Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and LoveGalileo's Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $3.97

Customer Review:
Rather unremarkable, but fairly informative and enjoyable. It is sad that our approaches to religion and science don't seem to have progressed much over the last 4 centuries as there still are people debating creationism and evolution etc.

3.Michelangelo and the Pope s CeilingMichelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
If you learn anything from "Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling" it's that the famed artist didn't paint the Sistine Chapel vault while lying on his back.
(You'll also learn than Michelangelo had bad personal hygiene--"never wash yourself," he would say--and that he sometimes went so long... more info

4.1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance (P.S.)1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $9.24

Customer Review:
If you liked Menzies earlier book - 1421 - you will be disappointed in this follow-up. While 1421 appeared to be based on years of scholarship, by a dedicated and skilled naval officer, obviously pursuing a personal obsession, 1434 seems to have been dashed off to meet a publisher's deadline.

from Plume
Price: $4.03

Customer Review:
You know the old saying," You can't judge a book by it's cover." Apparently, the Basilica is an enormous example of the old adage. This book is a historical account of the building of one of the most well known structures in the world, St.Peter's Basilica. Before you pooh pooh the idea of reading... more info

7.The Stones of FlorenceThe Stones of Florence
from Mariner Books
Price: $3.50

Customer Review:
Although a bit dated in some of the observations (I believe it was written in the late 1950s), this is a good overview of the history of Florence.

from Bantam
Price: $14.00

Customer Review:
This is a history of a moment in the High Renaissance when the lives of DaVinci, Machiavelli and Cesare Borgia intersected and as such almost has to be interesting, and it is. These three larger than life historical personages are depicted in fascinating detail, and while the book hones in on a... more info

from Mariner Books
Price: $6.09

Customer Review:
Christopher Hibbert (1924-2008) was one of England's foremost historians and clearly an expert in this realm of study. Among his numerous other works, he also wrote The House of Medici: Its Rise and Fall.
I was looking for a well-written biography of the infamous Borgias and Hibbert has... more info
