KEY LEARNING FEATURES PLACE KEY CONTENT AND CONCEPTS WITHIN MEANINGFUL CONTEXT. Each chapter opens with an engaging introductory essay, map and timeline. In addition, extended Quick Review Captions appear throughout the text and a chapter-ending Big Picture summarizes key issues. To further guide understanding, scales accompany every illustration and Google Earth coordinates are included for every building and site discussed.
NINE CATEGORIES OF BOXED ESSAYS ENRICH THE PRIMARY TEXT WITH ADDITIONAL CONTEXT. These include "Artists on Art," "Materials and Techniques," "Religion and Mythology," "Art and Society," "Architectural Basics," "Written Sources," "Problems and Solutions" and "The Patron's Voice." New "A Second Opinion" essays highlight individual works of art that are currently under debate or have recently been reinterpreted. These essays underscore how art and architecture history is not static, as scholars constantly question and rethink traditional interpretations of paintings, sculptures and buildings.
