After Philip E. Bishop passed away in April 2010, the publishers of Adventures in the Human Spirit asked me to take over the revision of this, its seventh edition. While I have edited innumerable college textbooks in the arts and humanities during my 20 years as a freelance developmental editor, it is one thing to edit a book and quite something else to assume the responsibility for a book as its author. Over six editions, Philip had refined the most readable one-volume overview of the humanities available. His voice was personable and engaging, his coverage authoritative and judicious.

In updating Philip’s book, I have sought to maintain his readability, clarity, concision, and approachability, and to continue his discerning coverage of music, religion, literature, philosophy, and science. While extending the coverage of recent art and scholarship, we have also entirely recast the book’s design to further engage students with dramatic new chapter- opening spreads, a refreshed color palette, and a clear pedagogical structure.

All 15 chapters have been revised to include:

• New opening learning outcome questions that create clear signposts for study

• New comprehensive timelines that recap events in the chapter

• New review questions for student self-evaluation and chapter review

• New Thought Experiment questions that prompt reflections on the ways in which a subject touches students’ lives

• Enhanced coverage of non-Western high points in the humanities, including ancient and modern Asia, Africa, and the Americas

• More than 140 MyArtsLab links that connect students to Pearson’s formidable on-line resources, and include closer looks at art objects, virtual tours of landmark architecture, historical documents, and extended primary sources

• More than 125 brand-new color illustrations • A new and totally revised, comprehensive, detailed

map program

In response to reviewer suggestions, the following chapters have been thoroughly updated:

• Chapter 1 has been revised to engage students right from the start, with special attention to the recent work of notable contemporary artists, such as Tara Donovan, Trisha Brown, Rachel Whiteread, and Marlene Dumas.

• Chapter 2 has expanded its coverage of ancient civilizations to include more on Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the ancient Americas.

• Chapter 15 has been completely reorganized and updated to include coverage of contemporary computer/video art, green architecture, post- colonial and feminist art, and globalism in art and architecture. Featured contemporary artists include Cindy Sherman, Maya Lin, Fred Wilson, Louise Bourgeois, Kara Walker, Christian Marclay, and Takeshi Murata.

Along with adding the new Thought Experiment box feature, I have expanded the Global Perspective boxes to enlarge the coverage of non-Western arts and cultures. The popular Key Concept, Critical Question, Write Idea, and Windows on Daily Life features remain.

Students should note that in addition to the MyArtsLab assets, every location mentioned in this text can be explored on the web via Google Earth, a powerful resource for virtual tours of landmark sites worldwide.

I am grateful to the following reviewers for their thoughtful suggestions:

Lynn Brink, North Lake College Ron Cooper, College of Central Florida Judith Johnson, Harrisburg Area Community College Jennifer Keefe, Valencia College Mary Ann Murdoch, Polk State College Karen Rumbley, Valencia College David Underwood, St. Petersburg College Anthony Williams, Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College Warren Yarbrough, Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College

And for their support and assistance every step of the way, many thanks to Susie May, Kara Hattersley-Smith, designer Tim Foster, and picture researcher Peter Kent at Laurence King Publishing, and to Acquisitions Editor Billy Grieco at Pearson.

Preface to the Seventh Edition

The new MyArtsLab delivers proven results in helping individual students succeed. Its automatically graded assessments, personalized study plan, and interactive eText provide engaging experiences that personalize, stimulate, and measure learning for each student. And, it comes from a trusted partner with educational expertise and a deep commitment to helping students, instructors, and departments achieve their goals.

The Pearson eText lets students access their textbook anytime, anywhere, and any way they want, including downloading the text to an iPad®. Personalized study plan for each student promotes critical-thinking skills. Assessment tied to videos, applications, and chapters enables both instructors and students to track progress and get immediate feedback. Closer Look tours—interactive walkthroughs featuring expert audio— offer in-depth looks at key works of art, enabling students to zoom in to see detail they couldn’t otherwise see, even in person. Art21 and Studio Technique videos present up-close looks at real-life artists at work, helping students better understand techniques used during different eras. 360-degree architectural panoramas and simulations of major monuments help students understand buildings—inside and out. Henry Sayre’s Writing About Art 6th edition is now available online in its entirety as an eText within MyArtsLab. This straightforward guide prepares students to describe, interpret, and write about works of art in meaningful and lasting terms. Discovering Art is a robust online tutorial for exploring the major elements and principles of art, art media, and art processes. The site offers opportunities to review key terminology, search a large gallery of images, watch videos, and more.
