Customer Reviews

Great Study Guide

I purchased this book to help me prepare for a teaching exam. I wanted a book that wasn't your regular type of boring study guide. "Arts and Culture: An Introduction to the Humanities, Vol. II" worked out great. The book was both informative and entertaining. I never got bored reading it so I actually read the entire book. Needless to say, I passed my exam with flying colors.

Finest humanities textbook I've seen

We used this textbook for a humanities survey course at my high school. My teacher said it was the finest he'd seen out of dozens, and after using it for his class, I have to agree. The art, maps, pictures, and everything help bring the past to life, and the text, while easy to read, says everything it needs to.
