Adventures in the Human Spirit (2nd Edition)

Exceptionally reader-friendly, extensively illustrated, and engagingly thought-provoking, this one-volume historical survey of the humanities is accessible -- and inviting -- to readers with "little background in the arts and humanities." Carefully balanced among the major arts, philosophy, and religion and finely focused on selected principal events, styles, movements, and figures, it brings the past to life by including authentic documents from daily life, comparative global perspectives, and examples from literature, philosophy, music -- including the contributions of women and minority artists.Philip E. Bishop is the author of 'Adventures in the Human Spirit (2nd Edition)', published 1998 under ISBN 9780137273065 and ISBN 0137273061.
