Description:
LANDMARKS in Humanities is a single-volume survey of global culture designed for students of humanities, cultural history, and history of the arts. In chronological sequence, LANDMARKS highlights the most notable monuments of the human imagination--those works of art and architecture, literature, philosophy, and music that have been foremost in shaping the world's cultures. .

. The text's fifteen chapters are unified by core concepts related to each period, such as Classicism, Christendom, or Modernism. Chapter features include "Ideas and Issues" boxes containing primary-source excerpts; "Parallels" sidebars relating images and ideas; "Beyond the West" sections highlighting influential landmarks of Asian, African, and Oceanic cultures; and chapter-ending timelines keying landmarks in humanities to major historical events. Throughout the text, high quality maps place key events and works in a clear geographical context. In addition, an outstanding supplements package accompanies the text, featuring resources for both students and instructors. Each copy of LANDMARKS will include a free student DVD-ROM, Core Concepts in Humanities, which contains interactive activities for each chapter in the text plus numerous other study resources for all humanities disciplines..

Landmarks in Humanities with Core Concepts DVD-ROM - This is a textbook for a Humanities class. The text is not well written or well organized. I would have gotten nothing from this course without attending class and having the professor tell the stories of the people we are studying. The DVD-ROM is useless. It has no music, very little literature or artwork. If you click on a music icon, it redirects you to a web link to find the music. Some of the links do not work. If you have the chance to buy a book without the DVD and save money, do it. If you are in a position to choose which books to use for a course you teach, choose something else.
