Fleming's Arts and Ideas, Volume I (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac)
"Fleming is the godfather of survey texts and is the standard by which all others are compared.""Every page is a treasure of knowledge, filled with connections between the various fields of learning. My students are always inspired by the way Fleming can take complex subjects and make them seem real and accessible."    "Dozens of students have told me that they sold all of their books back to the bookstore at the end of the semester--except this one. They are extremely pleased that they can now understand the things that at once seemed so foreign to them.""Dozens of students have told me that they sold all of their books back to the bookstore at the end of the semester--except this one.

There's no other word for Fleming's book: beautiful. And the selections of images are the ones I would want, and more."
