Image Vault! Adopters can access more than a thousand images in high resolution, allowing them to create digital presentations that include works from the text in addition to many others. Building “collections” is simple, and the full database can be searched by chapter, period, or media.
New "Connections," offer in-margin reproductions of art discussed earlier in the text. These appear next to approximately 60 works, inviting student to compare these works without having to flip back and forth in the book.
A new world map appears at the front of the book, and small maps included in each chapter opener highlight the region or regions being discussed.
The book features a lush new full color design that presents material clearly, with illustrations directly next to associated narrative and with minimal visual interruptions. Almost every image that includes color in the original is reproduced faithfully in the text. In addition, the third edition includes several new architectural and technical diagrams associated with the photographs.
New part openers, effective previews of the periods covered in each of the seven text parts, briefly encapsulate the most significant characteristics of civilizations and cultures discussed. The beautifully designed part openers are approximately 150 words in length, economically helping to place the art within its social and historical context.
A new section of the Introduction treats formal elements and analysis of art, serving as a useful preview of the analysis and interpretations students will encounter throughout the textbook, and introducing them to ways of looking at art.
