New commercial routines, new forms of agriculture, new methods of information technology, and increased population densities all played a role in the prolonged transition away from antiquity and toward modernity. At the Dawn of Modernity highlights both "top-down" and "bottom-up" changes that characterized the social experience of early modernization. In the former category are the Gregorian Reformation, the imposition of feudalism, and the development of centralizing state formations. Of equal importance to Levine's portrait of the emerging social order are the bottom-up demographic relations that structured everyday life, because the making of the modern world, in his view, also began in the decisions made by countless men and women regarding their families and circumstances. Levine ends his story with the cataclysm unleashed by the Black Death in 1348, which brought three centuries of growth to a grim end. 606 $aCivilization, Medieval 606 $aSocial history$yMedieval, 500-1500 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xChurch history$y600-1500 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval. 615 0$aSocial history 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 676 $a940.1 700 $aLevine$b David$f1946-$0770470 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455791603321 996 $aAt the dawn of modernity$92447487 997 $aUNINA
