Arts and Culture + Myartslab: An Introduction to the Humanities, Books a La Carte

For one semester/quarter courses on Introduction to the Humanities or Cultural Studies.

Now in full color, Arts and Culture provides an introduction to global civilizations and their artistic achievements, history, and cultures. The authors consider two important questions: What makes a work a masterpiece of its type? And what qualities of a work enable it to be appreciated over time? Critical thinking is also highlighted throughout the text with 4 different box features that ask students to explore connections across the humanities and different cultures. These boxes are entitled Connections, Cross Currents, Then & Now, and Cultural Impact boxes. Open the new fourth edition of Arts and Culture and open a world of discovery.

This Books á la Carte Edition is an unbound, three-hole punched, loose-leaf version of the textbook and provides students the opportunity to personalize their book by incorporating their own notes and taking only the portion of the book they need to class — all at an affordable price. It comes packaged with an access code to MyHumanitiesKit, an interactive online resource which gives students a chance to further explore and learn topics presented in the text.
