The Humanistic Tradition, Vol 2: The Early Modern World to the Present

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.
