Product Description
Landmarks in Humanities is a single-volume survey of global culture designed for students of humanities, cultural history, and history of the arts. In chronological sequence, Landmarks highlights the most notable monuments of the human imagination--those works of art and architecture, literature, philosophy, and music that have been foremost in shaping the world's cultures. The text reflects the author's extensive background in the study of Humanities which has enabled her to craft a narrative that is at once brief and comprehensive, giving students a thorough understanding of the humanities without overwhelming them with detail. Each of the text's fifteen chapters is centered on a key idea related to the period being discussed and contains a series of valuable pedagogical features including chapter ending timelines, high-quality maps, and boxed material examining primary sources and cross-cultural comparisons. In addition, an outstanding supplements package accompanies the text, featuring a wealth of resources for both students and instructors.

I wish that I could say the same about the subject matter. Just not my cup of tea. Anyone thinking about buying from this seller, do not hesitate though.
 Landmarks in Humanities with Core Concepts DVD-ROM September 17, 2008

This is a textbook for a Humanities class. The text is not well written or well organized. I would have gotten nothing from this course without attending class and having the professor tell the stories of the people we are studying. The DVD-ROM is useless. It has no music, very little literature or artwork. If you click on a music icon, it redirects you to a web link to find the music. Some of the links do not work. If you have the chance to buy a book without the DVD and save money, do it. If you are in a position to choose which books to use for a course you teach, choose something else.
 Pleased with purchase April 27, 2008
