Author: Henry Sayre (Author)

For courses in Introduction to the Humanities

See context and make connections across the humanities
Revel ™ Discovering the Humanities 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. Revised to better tell the story of the humanities as a global discipline, the 4th Edition includes new scholarship and images, and offers an updated survey of contemporary art.

WHAT’S NEW
THIS NEW EDITION ENHANCES THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS:
To facilitate student learning and understanding of the humanities, this fourth edition is centered on Learning Objectives that introduce each chapter. These learning objectives are, tailored to the subject matter of the key chapter topics so that students will be continually reminded of the goals and objectives of study as they progress through each chapter. The chapter learning objectives are repeated in a Chapter Review that poses critical-thinking questions as well as reviewing the material covered in the chapter.
NEW TO THE PRINT EDITION OF DISCOVERING
THE HUMANITIES
• The Continuing Presence of the Past, a feature designed to underscore the book’s emphasis on continuity and change by connecting an artwork in each chapter to a contemporary artwork, helps students understand how the art of the past remains relevant today. Included only in the digital version of the last edition, The Continuing Presence of the Past is now featured in each chapter on its own page in close
proximity to the artwork to which it refers.
• Nearly 100 images have been updated whenever new and improved images were available or works of art have been cleaned or restored.
• Whenever new scholarship has provided us with new insights and understandings, that scholarship has been included in the text. Examples include discussion of the earliest musical instruments, continuing research at Stonehenge, medical scans of Akhenaten’s mummy, and new archaeological findings at Teotihuacán.
• The discussion of the arts beyond the West has been greatly expanded by including in Chapter 5—formerly “Fiefdom and Monastery, Pilgrimage and Crusade: The Early Medieval World in Europe,” but now retitled “Parallel Cultures: Early Medieval Europe and the Larger World”— by including discussions of the Silk Road, the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties in China, early Buddhist and Hindu art and architecture, the Heian and Kamakura periods in Japan, and art and architecture in the Americas before contact. As a result, Chapter 9, “Encounter and Confrontation: The Impact of Increasing Global Interaction” now focuses exclusively on the post-contact world, allowing for the inclusion of much new material.
• The last half of Chapter 15 on contemporary art has been thoroughly reconceived, with many new images, to address issues of postcolonialism, the global marketplace and the commodification of culture, as well as the plural self in the Americas—Latino, African American, and Native American.
