Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-24 00:00:00 Waldo Vandersuage Textbook assigned for class. Okay, but fairly boring reading. Obviously a budget version in spite of its expensive cover price since photo illustrations were not sharp nor color quality up to par. I would have liked it if they'd included pronunciation keys for artists names, art works, and place names. Seriously, how can they expect to teach "culture" without telling students how to pronounce what they are talking about?!? (My teacher didn't seem to know either.) ...Major flaw, imo. Amateurish even.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-16 00:00:00 Charles Carroll This was an interesting read that discusses the origins, rise and fall of many minority religions in the USA. The author gives only a faint sense of what each group was like -- the individual colors and flavors, you might say -- so it got to be hard to tell them apart as he plowed through. But he also talks about where they got their ideas and who took ideas from them later on. As I read it came to me that I was aware of a number of new scams along these same lines that might appear in a later edition. Plus ca change.
