DOC Universal Religions in World History: Buddhism; Christianity; and Islam (Explorations in World History) by Donald Johnson; Jean Johnson in History

Description

Chronologically organized; The Western Humanities presents the cultural achievements of western civilization--art and architecture; music; history; literature; philosophy; theater; film and the other arts--within their historical context. By examining the historical and material conditions that influenced the form and content of the arts and humanities; the authors provide students with a clear framework; a deeper understanding of the meaning of cultural works; and a broader basis for analyzing and appreciating the cultural achievements of the West. Hundreds of illustrations bring the arts and humanities to life; while extensive pedagogy consistently asks students to think about; interpret; and apply the information throughout the text and at the end of each chapter.
