Humanistic Tradition Text book

The book arrived in a timely manner in great condition and I was satisfied with what I received.

interesting

purchased for my class's at Brevard Community College...required...but had some interesting facts and unique pictures in it

longer version is better

this is a the 2nd half of the set and it's better to get this larger version than the little books. These books are full of pics and descriptions. There's a spin .. a little towards the left.. but like most of these types of humanity type courses you're going to get that anyway.

New and Cheaper than the Bookstore

I wasn't expecting to recieve a new book but I am glad I did and didn't go to the expensive bookstore across the street

Educationally excellent, however, erroneous

I find this book to be full of great educational material, however, when reading the "historical" research about the Hebrews, I find that it is full of erroneous information. For example, the book implies that the Hebrews "chose" to settle in near the Dead Sea because the land of Canaan was filled with large military forces, but the Bible clearly states that God (or their concept of God) caused them to roam as a form of punishment for their distrust in him. Also, it stated that the ten commandments are all negative (as in don'ts) when I can think of two (4-keep the sabbath, and 5-honor your mother and father) are positives. And, that the ten commandments had no specified punishment. From Bible standards, it is very clear, transgression of the law requires death of either the human or an animal.
