As a writer and development editor, he has helped to create a series of ground-breaking college textbooks in art and literature, includingArt History(Abrams, 1995),A History of Art in Africa(Abrams, 2001),The HarperCollins World Reader,The Longman Anthology of British Literature, andThe Longman Anthology of World Literature. This is his fourth edition as author ofLiving with Art.
