Revel for Art: A Brief History -- Combo Access Card

For courses in Art History Survey

A welcoming, inclusive, engaging, and global approach to art
Revel(TM) Art: A Brief History brings the history of art to life for a new generation of students. The concise version of Stokstad and Cothren's Art History is global in scope, inclusive in its coverage, and warm and welcoming in tone. The guiding vision of the text is that the teaching of art history survey courses should be filled with equal delight, enjoyment, and serious learning, while fostering an enthusiastic and educated public for the visual arts. The 7th Edition has been revised to reflect new discoveries, recent research, and fresh interpretive perspectives, as well as to address the changing needs of both students and educators.

Revel is Pearson's newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience -- for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.
NOTE: This Revel Combo Access pack includes a Revel access code plus a loose-leaf print reference (delivered by mail) to complement your Revel experience. In addition to this access code, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.
