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.

Mr. Beast snacks - Yes Please!
Style: Beef Jerky, Flavor Name: Original + Teriyaki + Peppered, Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Mr. Beast snacks are delicious and protein forward. Great for when you’re on the go and don’t want sugary snacks. They come in convenient packs you can throw in your bag and they stay fresh if you don’t eat them right away- living in Florida- that’s important. I highly recommend this product.

Small amount but great food product
Style: Beef Jerky, Flavor Name: Original + Teriyaki + Peppered, Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have bought MrBeast stuff, mostly for my kids, and was never disappointed in the flavor and quantity. This time, however, the bags are small. I should have read correctly, so it is my fault. In my head, Mr. Beast's stuff is usually a good amount with better ingredients for a reasonable price. This time, it was not a reasonable price for the amount you get. However, I would buy again for two reasons: #1 they taste great and feel more filling and lighter than other brands I normally eat, and #2 my wife can't stomach a lot of food, especially since she had her gallbladder removed. But with these sticks, she not only can eat them, but somehow she feels and looks more energetic. Maybe she is just getting a good source of protein that is harder for her to get when she can't stomach other protein foods.

Great mixed box
Style: Beef Jerky, Flavor Name: Original + Teriyaki + Peppered, Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The jerky is my favorite jerky I ever had and I really like the mixed box because you get alil bit of everything. The jerky sticks are flavored nicely but the actual jerky is so freaking good. The flavor is good but it's the texture i love. It's not too soft but also not too hard.
