      abstract = {After the long period of cultural decline known as the  Dark Ages, Europe experienced a rebirth of scholarship,  art, literature, philosophy, and science and began to  develop a vision of Western society that remains at the  heart of Western civilization today. On visits to the great  cities of Europe--monumental Rome; the intellectually  explosive Paris of Peter Abelard and Thomas Aquinas; the  hotbed of scientific study that was Oxford; and the  incomparable Florence of Dante and Giotto--Cahill captures  the spirit of experimentation, the colorful pageantry, and  the passionate pursuit of knowledge that built the  foundations for the modern world.--From publisher  description.},
