The Humanistic Tradition, Book 4: Faith, Reason, and Power in the Early Modern World

Great books.. excellent picture quality and the book was in great condition. I would recommend to anyone thats interested in the arts and history. I had these books assigned for my class and I'm glad he chose these rather than anything else.

The price of the book was a very good price compared to other places I've looked.

Fiero has done a wonderful job surveying history, making it enjoyable and interesting to almost any reader. With pictures of artwork and architecture, Fiero's text is enchanced, allowing the reading to gain a broader view into history from the enlightenment to modern times. As with many history books, the writer's presuppitions are reflected in their writing. Fiero follows this trend, allowing her feministic presupptions to interpret history. While this is not so evident in volumes 4 and 5, in volume 6 (a review of modern times), this view is highly stated. This series (including the first 3 volumes) is a wonderful review of history, allowing the reader to see into various cultures throughout history.
