Finally, an art book which includes not just female artists but also art from more regions than Europe and Great Britain. This book is concise and factual in its assessment of art history. Considering that the basic appreciation of art is subjective and therefore opinion based, Stokstad keeps her personal views to herself and merely reflects the views of each period or region which affected art (and therefore art history) and why certain types were popular.
I would recomment this as a good expansive look at art history for students or art enthusiasts!

Wow. Amazing book, who cares about its poor condition. I had a blast taking it all in and intend to keep it my library as a reference.

This book came in good condition, a few highlighted portions. I got exactly what was promised. I am very pleased with this seller.

I had to have this book for my Art History I class, and the second for part II of the class. This was not a book that encouraged me to look further into art history. From what I see the author put many of her own opinions into this book. That is not what makes the history. . .history is history, not opinion based ideas and theories. I would not reccomend this book for teachers that would like to inspire their students to pursue art history further. . . good variety of art work, just not good enough to appreciate it.

I actually saved $100 by buying this used version... theres no writing in it... the book is is great condition and i payed $4.25 .. (i was expecting a book with half the pages missing) The best deal i've got on amazon!
