Windows on Humanity is a new art history book authored by the artist Sandra Shaw. This survey chronologically explores major trends in the visual arts from prehistory to the fall of Rome. Art is presented as a visual record of thought and ideas. Artworks are described in terms of how artists imbue their work with meaning. Observations about the artworks are rooted in the author's own experience as an artist.
