Like the significant experiences in one's personal life or the physical signposts that guide one's travels, the monuments of the human imagination—those notable works of literature, philosophy, and the arts, together with seminal events in history and technology—animate our intellectual journey and serve as sources of inspiration and pleasure.
McGraw-Hill proudly introduces Gloria Fiero's Landmarks in Humanities, a single-volume survey text for students of humanities, cultural history, and history of the arts. This chronologically organized text includes fifteen chapters unified by central concepts such as Classicism, Christendom, or Modernism. In clear prose, Gloria Fiero introduces students to many cultural landmarks, and points the way to a lifelong appreciation of their value.
The text follows the traditional Western historical periodization, while integrating influential landmarks of Asian, African, and Oceanian cultures to highlight points of encounter and mutual influence throughout history.
The enclosed CD-ROM contains an introduction to key features of this distinguished new book, as well as a demonstration of the exciting new Core Concepts in Humanities CD-ROM that supports and enriches it.
