Product Description
The Art of Being Human, Eighth Edition,introduces students to the ways in which the humanities can broaden their perspectives, enhance their ability to think critically, and enrich their lives. Ideal for the one-semester humanities course, this well-respected book has been lauded for its scope, accessibility, and writing style. Featuring a unique topical organization, Part I examines ways of responding to the humanities, their mythic origins, and important struggles in the arts. Part II explores the individual genres of literature, art, music, theater, song and dance, and cinema. Part III looks at provocative themes in the humanities: religion, morality, happiness, love, life and death, and freedom.

 First Timer
Book was needed for a University Humanities class. Not too difficult to read/comprehend. I'm more impressed with Amazon and shipping/purchasing process.

 The Art of Being Human
I did not receive this book. I received something different. The ISBN # is 0-536-25936-4. This is the wrong book. I needed the one that is displayed on the website. The one I received is taken from the 8th edition. I really did not want to rate a product I didn't receive.

 college text ( maryjean73 )
Got this book for my college fine arts class.
Honestly, I absolutly hated it. It is very unorganized, and hard to find things quickly. The index is horrible and incomplete. Also, the color plates in the book are not high qualtiy and they don't tell the sizes of the paintings! The picture in the book could be 5 inches long, but the painting is 20 feet high- I think it is important for it to give the reader that information.
The only reason I am not giving it 1 star is because it really has alot of good information in it- it is just organized horribly.

Great for the Human mind & General Humanities ( ibanez_fan1 )
This book is used at West Ottawa High school for a Humanities class. I have found it very interesting and keeps you reading until you can't read no more. It isn't to hard of reading and gives your information with examples quickly and efficantly.
