Tracing both the ancestry and the legacy of Owen's reforming spirit, they also offer a critical appraisal of the relevance of his ideas for the development of education at all levels and stages in the challenging contexts of international 21st century education.

In der Renaissance entstand unsere Welt, und wie immer, wenn sich Geschichte entwickelt, sind es die Menschen, die sie prägen. Hier begegnen wir faszinierenden Persönlichkeiten, die auf dem Weg vom Mittelalter in die Neuzeit unglaubliche Ideen in Kunst und Wissenschaft hervorbringen. Kopernikus formuliert das heliozentrische Weltbild, Kolumbus entdeckt die Neue Welt, und Gutenberg revolutioniert den Buchdruck. Luther veröffentlicht seine 95 Thesen, während Leonardo da Vinci und Albrecht Dürer anatomisch präzise Darstellungen des menschlichen Körpers schaffen. Auch die Machtverhältnisse verändern sich: Fürsten streben nach mehr Einfluss, Kaufmannsfamilien perfektionieren den Handel, Banken entstehen, und die Kirche sieht sich neuen Herausforderungen gegenüber. In dieser reich illustrierten Darstellung von 100 außergewöhnlichen Biografien entsteht ein spannendes Epochenpanorama, in dem Entdecker, Erfinder, Gelehrte, Künstler, Heilige und Sünder miteinander verbunden sind. Die großen Ausstellungen zu Porträts der Renaissance in Berlin, München und Wien 2011/2012 sowie der 500. Geburtstag von Giorgio Vasari (1511–1574) bieten einen tiefen Einblick in das Leben hinter den Porträts und die bedeutenden Persönlichkeiten dieser Zeit.
