Gardner's Art through the Ages: A Global History Details
Review "I have taught Survey of Art using Gardner since 1974. The Kleiner versions are masterpieces.""I find ART THROUGH THE AGES to be head and shoulders above other survey texts in terms of its contextual treatment of the objects. Fred Kleiner's interest in explaining how and why objects functioned within their social, religious, political and funerary contexts effectively opens the door for further learning in the classroom." Read more About the Author Fred S. Kleiner, Ph.D. has been professor of art history and archeology at Boston University for four decades. He taught previously at University of Virginia and served as editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Archaeology.

He is a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London as well as the Text and Academic Authors Association.

Reviews
This is what they consider "good" condition. Received the book today, and I just want it noted that the condition is less than good. It's such a big textbook, required for class, that I'm afraid the cover isn't going to stay in tact through December.
