CULTURE AND VALUES: A SURVEY OF THE HUMANITIES introduces students to art, music, philosophy, and literature in a new and exciting format, from the beginnings of civilization to the contemporary world, with more coverage of photography, film, digital media, and popular music than in past editions of this popular text. New co-author Lois Fichner-Rathus brings her spirit, pedagogical expertise, clear conversational style, and love of teaching to this beautifully written and illustrated book. Students will appreciate the new features, designed to encourage critical thinking and help them master the material: integrated primary source readings with guided discussions, chapter previews, timelines, “Compare and Contrast” sections, and “Big Picture” reviews. The eighth edition also provides expanded and updated coverage of Asia and Africa for a broader discussion of world cultures and the entire human story, while preserving popular features such as in-depth discussions of the music for each period, the “Values and Voices” boxes, and high-quality images with clear captions. Instructors will appreciate the wide range of digital instructor resources that will help them save time when preparing for class.
