See context and make connections across the humanities
Throughout Discovering the Humanities, Third Edition, author Henry Sayre employs a storytelling approach that helps students see context and make connections across the humanities. Believing that people learn best by remembering stories rather than memorizing facts, Sayre weaves a compelling narrative of multifaceted cultural experiences that will resonate with students – throughout the course and beyond. By showing how cultures influence one another, and how ideas are exchanged and evolve over time, Discovering the Humanities helps students understand the cultural interplay that has shaped human thinking and creativity throughout our history.

Discovering the Humanities, Third Edition is also available via REVEL™, an immersive learning experience designed for the way today's students read, think, and learn.
