Review
"The authors have a wonderful ability to encapsulate an idea, and a conversational tone that is expressed in an admirable writing style of pointed brevity." ― Kenneth Burchett, University of Central Arkansas

- Enhanced multicultural coverage with new content on contemporary Vietnamese, Indian, Chinese, Native American, and African art
