User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “I have taught Survey of Art using Gardner since 1974. The Kleiner versions are masterpieces.””I find Art through the Ages to be head and shoulders above other survey texts in terms of its contextual treatment of the objects. Fred Kleiner’s interest in explaining how and why objects functioned within their social, religious, political and funerary contexts effectively opens the door for further learning in the classroom.” About the Author Fred S.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Just what I needed for my History of Art class.

⭐Came quickly, just what I needed.

⭐Used for online ckass.

⭐Product arrived as promised.

⭐Came in almost perfect condition!

⭐Great book, but the MindTap app is not included though the product description and extensive publisher promotional materials on the page seem to indicate that it is. Buy elsewhere and be sure you are getting the app, as many of the photos in this book are reduced to the point of uselessness and you’ll need the app to see them.

⭐I needed this textbook for class and as I got near the back of the book, I noticed that after page 428, the book jumps straight to 445- 460, then 429-444, and finally 461-end. I bought this book new and I’m extremely disappointed because it was a bit costly. I feel like this shouldn’t have been an issue for the price I paid. There are also ink stains from when it was printed on random pages that I know I didn’t cause. I’m still going to use the book, it appears to be complete and I couldn’t find any other sections out of order (as of yet). I would have refunded the order but I already started to write in it so I guess it’ll just have to work. Overall I’m rating this product a three because other than the issues noted, it came in decent condition and in a timely manner.

⭐This book was fantastic. It was remarkably cheaper than the college course I paid for that required it AND it provided far more material than the actual course did. It was an easy read (I am an art history major however) and I would genuinely consider purchasing it because it contains some marginalized content in the art history community.
