Simply the Best

It doesn't get much better than this. Substantive and always interesting, I used this with great success for several years teaching music appreciation at the University level. Works equally as well as a supplement to art appreciation and humanism. Sometimes out of print, so get it when you can.

Good for the class

Brought it for a class have not used it out of those confines but good for what I brought it for.

Good overview

This is an excellent chronological overview of the art, music and architecture of the Western world. It's well written and the color illustrations are well chosen and helpful. All in all, it's a good way to brush up on a few thousand years of cultural history in a short time.
