CULTURE AND VALUES: A SURVEY OF THE WESTERN HUMANITIES takes you on a fascinating tour of some of the world's most significant examples of art, music, philosophy, and literature, from the beginnings of civilization to today.
My humanities class with Mr. Carrier (now a woman) was one of my favorite classes in college, in it where we studied world literature, antiquities, history, geography...
Some of the questions for discussion (this is a textbook, after all) are a little strange, and required outside research to answer, but the book is well laid out and a joy to read. Plenty of facts that I didn't know and extra artistic tidbits. Will for sure use again for reference.
