I expected more from the text, but there are a few good concise summaries of the cultural shifts during the medieval and Renaissance periods in Europe.
Overall, this volume has more value as a collection of first-hand source materials from each period and major world culture, including literature, poetry, art, architecture and music. I would continue to recommend Gardner's for a more insightful and beautifully written overview of the Western arts, and Fazio et al for history of architecture.

Naturally since it covers such a wide breadth of history, it doesn't go into anything too deeply, but it's a great introduction to a lot of things and if someone has an interest in this subject it would give them a jumping off point to do their further research. My only real complaint is that there seemed to be a bit too much focus on Christianity.
I know that Christianity is a huge part of history but a lot of it seemed to be written by Christians for Christians, and I would have preferred it to be a bit more secular than that. But it's not so overt that non-Christians will be turned off by it either.
Mar 30, All of the books in this series are not well organized and leave gaps were there should be substantial information. Over all they were worth the money I spent particularly when having to buy new editions for classes because a picture here or there was changed. This specific ISBN edition is currently not available.
