These are some of the great thinkers included in Reading the World. And because great ideas are not expressed in words alone, this collection includes drawings, paintings, and photographs, among them Picasso's Guernica and a selection from Carl Jung's The Red Book. Organized around eight universal themes, readings strike a balance between the West and the rest of the world, classic and contemporary, verbal and visual.

* A rich selection of more than 80 texts, including 15 images.
* A new chapter, "The Art," with essays by Leo Tolstoy, Alice Walker, and more.
* An expanded chapter, "Human Nature and the Mind," that explores the workings of the brain and the complexities of decision making.
* 100 pages of reading and writing instruction--no need for a separate rhetoric.
* An online audio pronunciation guide to help with unfamiliar names and titles.
* Now available as an ebook.

"An ideal blend of readings that helps students understand the connections of great ideas across the eras, the disciplines, and the globe."──ANTHONY SAMS, IVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLEGE

"A remarkable book... Not only did my students learn from it ... but I learned from it as well. Often the titles of these kinds of books seem to be overstatements, but the subtitle of this book─Ideas That Matter─couldn't be more accurate."──CHAD HAMMETT, TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY

A Note about the Cover

the cover of Reading the World highlights the cultural and historical diversity of the ideas covered in the book. In the first row, a phrenology chart from the nineteenth century shows how some cultures once viewed human nature and the mind, while a piece of coral highlights the beauty and wonder of the natural world. In the next row, a chalkboard equation represents the role of education in human societies, and a toy soldier symbolizes the persistent problem of war. In the third row, the ancient Japanese art of origami represents the creative spirit found in the arts, and a collection of coins from different countries emphasizes the concern that people have always had with wealth and poverty. And in the final row, an alphabet chart points to the power of language, while a stately pillar emphasizes the authority of civil government.
