coverage has been refined with revised coverage of the

early Americas, new content on archeological discoveries

in ancient Peru, a segment on the role of the West in the

Islamic Middle East, and a discussion of China’s global

ascendance. Chapters 36 through 38 have been updated

and reorganized: Ethnicity and ethnic identity have been

moved to chapter 38 (Globalism and the Contemporary

World), which brings emphasis to recent developments in

digital technology, environmentalism, and global terror-

ism. Other revisions throughout the text also respond to

teacher feedback; for example, a description of the bel

cantostyle in music has been added; Jan van Eyck’s paint-

ings appear in both chapters 17 and 19 (in different con-

texts); and T. S. Eliot’s works are discussed in both

chapters 32 and 35.

Among the notable writers added to the sixth edition

are William Blake, Jorge Luis Borges, Seamus Heaney,

and John Ashbury. New additions to the art program

include works by Benozzo Gozzoli, Buckminster Fuller,

Kara Walker, Jeff Wall, Damien Hirst, El Anatsui, and

Norman Foster.

Traditions: Humanities Readings through the Ages

Traditionsis a new database conceived as both a stand-

alone product as well as a companion source to McGraw-

Hill’s humanities titles. The collection is broad in nature,

containing both western and non-western readings from

ancient and contemporary eras, hand-picked from such

disciplines as literature, philosophy, and science. The flex-

ibility of Primis Online’s database allows the readings to be

arranged both chronologically and by author.

for use with The Humanistic Tradition. CD One corresponds

to the music listening selections discussed in Books 1–

(Volume II). Music logos (right) that appear in the margins

of the text refer to the Music Listening Selections found

on the audio compact discs. The compact discs can be

packaged with any or all of the six books or two-volume

versions of the text.
