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.

Adventures in the Human Spirit is now firmly established as the most readable and teachable single-volume survey of the humanities available. Covering the major periods, styles, and movements of the Western humanities from the ancient world to the twenty-first century, the book offers a balanced treatment of the major ruts, philosophy, and religion in their historical context. The fourth edition includes even more color photographs than before, alongside numerous features to encourage student engagement and critical thought. Also new for this edition is a music CD, with a range of excerpts that tie in closely to the text.
New features include:There are 477 illustrations, including 264 in full color and 10 color maps.
