The Humanities: Culture, Continuity, and Change
leads students on a journey through countless “ah-ha” moments as they piece together the cultural history of the world. Believing that students learn best by remembering stories rather than memorizing facts, author Henry Sayre deftly conveys multifaceted cultural experiences via a storytelling approach that students will remember ― during the course and beyond. Updated with numerous new images and examples, the 4th Edition analyzes recent works such as Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton: An American Musical to help students see how course concepts can help them understand resonant contemporary works.
