LANDMARKS 5E is unique in several ways:
-It is interdisciplinary: it explores the interrelationship of various modes of expression – art, music, literature – as they work to create, define, and reflect the unique culture of a given time and place.
-It is selective: some landmarks have been chosen for their universality, some for their singular beauty, and some for their iconic or symbolic value. Certain landmarks – the Statue of Liberty, the Mona Lisa, the sonnets of Shakespeare – meet more than one of these criteria. The author’s choice of landmarks may differ from those of other individuals, and readers may wish to add landmarks of their own.
-It is thematic: each chapter advances a key idea, presented in the chapter title and explained in the introductory paragraph. The key idea offers a context for individual landmarks as they unfold chronologically. For instance, Chapter 1 (“Origins: The First Civilizations”) surveys our earliest cultures, emphasizing human strategies for survival and communal life; Chapter 14 (“Modernism: The Assault on Tradition”) considers the radical rejection of conventional values and styles that revolutionized early twentieth-century culture.
