DESCRIPTION:
By examining the historical and material conditions that influenced the form and content of the arts and humanities, the authors provide students with a clear framework, a deeper understanding of the meaning of cultural works, and a broader basis for analyzing and appreciating the cultural achievements of the West. Hundreds of illustrations bring the arts and humanities to life, while extensive pedagogy consistently asks students to think about, interpret, and apply the information throughout the text and at the end of each chapter.. Chronologically organized, The Western Humanities presents the cultural achievements of western civilization--art and architecture, music, history, literature, philosophy, theater, film and the other arts--within their historical context
A Customer said Review of THE WESTERN HUMANITIES. This book is an excellent resource for college students interested in humanities. This was the text used for my Humanities class. It was very easy to read and I was able digest the material covered without falling asleep. The photos are excellent and the captions are detailed. This is an excellent book well worth the asking price.. "THE LAST WORD IN HUMANITIES TEXTS" according to William Coleman. Expensive, but well worth the money. Well illustrated and comprehensive. Would recommend it for a general humanities course or even for the casual reader interested in the history of arts, philosophy, etc.. Honorable and Trustworthy service Anna F. Groover The book I purchased was lost in the mail but when I contacted the seller they responded quickly and did what they could do on their part. The postal service lost the book by no fault of the seller and I never received the book. However, the seller did the honorable thing and refunded me back the money for the book, which they didn't have to and I would recommend them to anyone. I would definitely buy again. Thanks!!!!
