Riassunto

Expanded and updated to include new topics, illustrations, photographs, and readings, with completely redesigned timelines and maps, this edition of Culture and Values continues to combine balanced coverage of literature, art, music, and philosophy with sociological insight into the daily life of the characters in the unfolding drama of Western civilisation. Features: * A well-balanced blend of literature, art, architecture, music, and ideas. * Attention to the role of literature gives balance where competing texts lack depth. * Further readings, a pronunciation guide, and study questions are contained in each chapter along with summaries which review and emphasize the important topics addressed. * Introductory pedagogical material includes discussions of how best to approach and appreciate art, music, and literature. New to this edition: * More art and literature of women and minorities provide a balanced view of the influences which have shaped western culture. * Values Boxes which provide special topics and ideas have been redesigned. * New material added includes new art, timelines, and maps as well as discussions of contemporary issues in western society. * New readings and selections.
