"Art history -- what a wonderful, fascinating and fluid discipline that evolves as the latest research becomes available for debate and consideration. The fifth edition of Art History has been revised to reflect these new discoveries, recent research and fresh interpretive perspectives and also to address the changing needs of the audience -- both students and educators. With these goals in mind and by incorporating feedback from our many users and reviewers, we have sought to make this fifth edition an improvement over its earlier incarnations in sensitivity, readability and accessibility without losing anything in comprehensiveness, in scholarly precision or in its ability to engage readers. To facilitate student learning and understanding of art history, the fifth edition is centered on four key learning outcomes. These overarching outcomes helped steer and shape this revision with their emphasis on the fundamental reasons we teach art history to undergraduates."-- Provided by the author.
