From A to Z its all here...Well most of it anyways ( jedi559 )
Have you ever been sitting at your desk and wondered what the heck a Triptych or a Purple Patch was and didn't know where to look? Of course you have and thats why your here reading this poorly written review to see if their in here. Well rest assured there in here along with a plethora of other terms, from the classical age to the modern age, there here all right. Many of the terms should be well known to students of the Humanities or Philosophy but nevertheless is an excellent resource for both the professional and layperson alike. This is basically a dictionary of terms you will likely encounter into a foray of Philosophy, Humanities, or another such "enlightened science" A nice, brief, entry in the back of the book are the diagrams of buildings from classical and medival times. I guess the only disparaging thing about the book is the price. Twenty dollars really isn't alot but one would expect alot more from a twenty dollar book(at least my penny pinching budget would). However the book is very well done with clear and consise defintions that make this book a must have for any student of Philosophy or the Humanities, either Classical or Modern. I suggest, nay, I highly recommend this book to any student of either discipline. Or you should get it if you want to impress your friends, teachers, and loved ones with a dazzling new display of vocabulary (since there are alot of nifty new words in here) that would even impress Spiro Agnew.
