Authors Richard Janaro and Thelma Altshuler’s topical, thematic approach empowers students to think critically about key artforms and themes individually, and to draw significant connections among them. The Eleventh Editio n covers contemporary works — such as comic book blockbuster movies and the new golden age of television drama — in nearly every chapter to help students better understand themselves and the world in which they live.
