Excellent. Only four stars because this is a book of a miniseries of programs and a little, not much, is lost in change of medium. Well illustrated. Clark writes well and with conviction about the progress of western civiliztion as illustrated through art. ( )

This was assigned as our text in Grade XII Art History in the 1970s, and was a most appropriate choice. A very exciting and enjoyable book. ( )
