The Humanities: Cultural Roots and Continuities, Volume One

by Mary Ann Frese Witt (Editor)

The Humanities provides an overview of the liberal arts, including literature, art, music, philosophy, and history. The book comes equipped with numerous pedagogical aids, including a web site that features 50-60 art images.

Each volume begins with a "Chronicle of Events," which provides a timetable of key events in world history. "Continuities" sections—which cover political life, religion, art, music, and writing—summarize each part of the text by reviewing the lasting contributions of each society.
