Yet lest whatever human changes may be to come should scandalise fragile ears, the whole lot is written in nebulous form, somewhat than as a definite prophecy of any sort." (Nostradamus) A lot of time has been spent within the lives of history's most important numbers, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees and shrubs?

In Charles River Editors' Legends of the Renaissance, listeners can get caught up on the lives of the main men and women of the Renaissance in the time it takes to finish a commute. And they can do this while learning interesting facts long ignored or never known.
