More copies of this ISBN:Art Across Time 3RD Editionby Laurie Schnei Adams
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Art across Time combines sound scholarship and lively prose, engaging students with both its narrative and its lavish visual program. Popular with majors and non-majors alike, Art across Time offers readers more than a chronology of art; it discusses political, economic, social, and personal concerns that influence the artists and inform their work, uniquely conveying the ideas, beliefs, and circumstances that inspire creativity. Visual reproductions in the text are larger in scale and higher in quality than those in other art history texts, enhancing visual appeal and allowing students to view details and elements of composition with greater ease.
The new third edition is enhanced by new visual connections between works, more use of color and architectural diagrams, an enhanced map program, new boxed readings, and more. In addition, the text's illustration program is now available to adopting instructors in digital format via The Image Vault--McGraw-Hill's new Web-based presentation manager. Instructors can incorporate images from The Image Vault in digital presentations that can be used in class offline, burned to CD-ROM, or embedded in course Web pages. See www.mhhe.com/theimagevault for more details! Book News Annotation:The size of a hefty phone book, Schneider's 3d ed. is notable for the
wealth of good quality color plates of the art works discussed,
including multiple views of a single object. Many inset boxes
containing definitions and discussion of concepts and terminology are
included. The text is focused on art of the west but includes
occasional 2-page discussions, with images, of the artistic
approaches employed elsewhere in the world during the same time
period. Another feature is the addition to the text of images of
comparative works of art, identified as "connections". Unusual for
being written by a single author, rather than the more common method
of a team, this is a solid, coherent introduction to a vast field,
ranging from prehistory to art made at the end of the 20th century.
