I personally felt the best thing about this text book was its beautiful images--the pieces of art are from all over the world, with varied mediums, differing meanings, and from differing time periods. The book is detailed and lengthy--it is not only ideal for those who thrive in artistry, but also for those who are studying the given topic.

This is the sort of book that a student buys for a Humanities class and keeps the rest of their life. Children growing up with this in the home will immediately identify the worlds greatest art and buildings having already seen it here in this book. This book represents an investment in a cultured home and is one the whole family will appreciate for a lifetime. The pictures are beautiful. The organization is state of the art.

This book covers the aspects of Humanities through the ages very well. The chapters are too long are easy enough reading that it is good for the learning aspect rather than just straight text book reading.

This book is informative and easy to read. It covers from Ancient Greece to Contemporary. The main subjects it covers are art, architecture, literature, music, sculpture, and acting. The book highlights in chronological order the key artists and about one piece of their major work for that time period. The figures are great and the descriptions of the figures are good as well. I definitely enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it for someone beginning to study the fine arts.

The first order was very late in arriving - the fault of UPS. When I called about the problem they quickly sent out a 2nd book and when the original book arrived they told me to donate it. They turned a negative into a great experience. Thanks.

I find the text book in good conditions, I bouth a few from this site already..I'm trying to sell them back, but I have to find out how..

The book was in better condition than I was led to believe. When it arrived I thought it was brand new.
