The humanistic tradition. Volume II The early modern world to the present

Synopsis

Designed for Introduction to Humanities courses, Gloria Fiero's The Humanistic Tradition is, the only completely successful integration of non-western and western cultures, achieved by the appropriate placement of non-western elements at points in the text where they influence and complement their western counterparts. But there is more: The Humanistic Tradition also addresses contemporary issues of gender and race with sensitivity and appropriateness, using historical examples from the past as templates for the present.--Laurinda S.
