Customer Reviews

Packed full of information

I thought Humanities would be boring, but all of the information in this book is really interesting and a very easy read. There are many pictures of all sorts of art and there's something inside for everyone.

Priceless Course Book

I love this book. It's beautifully arranged by the ages. Each chapter has a chronological map on Events, Paintings, Architecture and Written Works of the timeline. The illustrations are breathtaking. You not only get Botticelli's Birth of Venus, Leonardo's Mona Lisa and Rembrandts' self portraits, but description, motivation, history and characteristics. I learned that I love Renaissance paintings the most and that Rafael painted images with a triangle arrangement. When we took an exam, I was able to differentiate Greek from Roman statues. I hope your edition comes with the musical CD. In class, we hear Wagner, Beethoven and Bach. This was utilized in my Humanities course with the illustrious Yamilé Quintana, professor of music and humanities at Miami-Dade College. A major treat for me was to find the Chant to The Lord's Prayer. (I'm still practicing it.)
