Reviews
The liveliness and the greater focus on art, literature, and other humanistic developments shift the focus away from the 'history with pictures' approach to a more truly integrated discussion of human endeavors. I like the tone, the examples, and the additional images especially. I note that throughout the text there are references to other cultural developments (stories from Ovid serving as inspiration for Shakespeare plots, for example). I like these connections very much. The 'Compare & Contrast' section is potentially more valuable because of the images paired with it, which will give the students a stronger idea of the concept under discussion. I do like the Colosseum/sports arena pairing, which I find useful. The Colosseum is certainly one of Rome's major monuments and the choice of this to connect with modern examples is logical and useful. The separate section is an extension of this comparative theme as a whole, one with a bit more depth. I think it is a positive one; I like it., The Arts: An Introduction.1. Beginnings.2. The Rise of Greece.3. Classical Greece and the Hellenistic Period.4. Rome.5. The Rise of the Biblical Tradition.6. Early Christianity: Ravenna and Byzantium.7. Islam.8. The Rise of Medieval Culture.9. The High Middle Ages.10. The Fourteenth Century: A Time of Transition.11. The Renaissance in the Fifteenth Century. 12. The High Renaissance and Mannerism in Italy.13. The High Renaissance in the North.14. The Seventeenth Century: The Baroque Era.15. The Eighteenth Century.16. Romanticism, Realism, and Photography.17. Toward the Modern Era: 1870-1914.18. The World at War.19. The Contemporary Contour.Glossary., Despite having read many textbooks on the same topics, I found reading this book pleasurable due to the writing style., The liveliness and the greater focus on art, literature, and other humanistic developments shift the focus away from the 'history with pictures' approach to a more truly integrated discussion of human endeavors. I like the tone, the examples, and the additional images especially.I note that throughout the text there are references to other cultural developments (stories from Ovid serving as inspiration for Shakespeare plots, for example).
