Fichner-Rathus' CULTURES AND VALUES: A GLOBAL VIEW OF THE HUMANITIES, VOLUME II, 10th Edition, introduces students to the history of humankind through the lens of the humanities -- language and literature, art and architecture, music, philosophy and religion -- from the dawn of civilization to the contemporary world. Arranged chronologically with representation from Western and non-Western geographical regions, the text makes connections between many cultural developments happening at the same time in different parts of the globe. The text encourages students to place their own backgrounds and beliefs in context and consider how understanding both their own and other heritages contributes to becoming a citizen of the world in the 21st century.
