Trusted by professors of the humanities survey course for over twenty years, CULTURE AND VALUES covers Western cultures along with important non-Western cultures, providing students solid, accessible introductions to art, music, philosophy, literature, and more. Available in two volumes, or as an alternate single volume without end-of-chapter readings, this text remains the most readable and reliable textbook for college and university students in the integrated humanities.
This was fun! I read it in a blind panic in an airport, so my retention may have been slim, but I still think I learned things. It focuses on the cultural shifts which were behind/with art, which was a neat approach.
