There are much more illustrations in color in this edition than in the twelfth edition, but the text remains unchanged. The other new feature is the chronological charts on pages 655-663. Seeing the positions of a few landmarks in the vast picture of history should help the reader to counteract  the perspective illusion which gives such importance to recent developments at the expense of the more distant past. In thus stimulating reflections on the time scales of the story of art, the charts should serve the same purpose for which I wrote this book some thirty years ago. In addition, I have added a Supplement on “New discoveries,” with a brief review on archaeological finds to remind the reader of the extent to which the story of the past has always been subject to revision and unexpected enrichment.

In 1807, Napoleon Bonaparte wanted one thing out of the Russian Czar Alexander I: a peace treaty. Instead of proposing this thing directly, Napoleon decided to seduce the czar. Using polite social encounters and friendly conversations, ① he went to work. A comment here and there seemed to suggest a linking of the destinies of France and Russia. Just before they were to part one evening, he talked of ② his desire for the peace treaty, and then excused himself for bed, leaving the czar to sleep on this. Next day ③ he escorted the czar to a play on the themes of glory, honor, and empire. In later conversations, he could disguise ④ his intentions under the cover of discussing the play. Within a few weeks, the czar was speaking to his  ministers of a treaty with France as if it were ⑤ his own idea.

Speakers in preliterate societies often lack specific words for colors. ① Lacking control over dyes and paints, they seldom need to be color-conscious. But if the need arises, they can always adapt to the occasion by referring to “the color of the sky,” “the color of milk,” or “the color of blood.” Even parts of the body get ② named in conformity with the cultural need to refer to them. In the tropics, ③ where people don’t wear much clothing, they tend to speak languages that lump “hand” and “arm” under one term and “leg” and “foot” under ④ another. People who live in colder climates and who wear special garments (gloves, boots, sleeves, pants, etc.) for different parts of  the body, more often ⑤ to have separate words for “hand” versus “arm” and for “foot” versus “leg.”

Two donkey drivers (A)[hated / who hated] each other were walking on a road when the donkey of one lay down under its burden. His companion saw it, and at first he passed it. But then he reflected: Is it not written in The Book of Morality, “If you see your enemy’s donkey (B)[to lay / lying] down under its burden, you should help?” So he returned, lent a hand, and helped his enemy in loading and unloading. He began talking to his enemy: “Release a bit here, pull up over there, and unload over here.” Thus peace came about between them, so that the driver of the overloaded donkey said, “Did I not suppose that he hated me? But look (C)[how / however]  compassionate he has been.” By and by, the two entered an inn, ate and drank together, and became fast friends.

Educational psychologist Diane Horgan raises the interesting point that a better understanding of one’s skill level is not necessarily the result of greater skill. ① Instead, the causation can run in the other direction: Realistically understanding your skill level might help you improve by enabling you to adjust your expectations, properly gauge feedback, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and so on. ② If you are overconfident in your ability, you may also be less motivated to improve it. ③ Making people more competent is the way to make them better judges of their competence. ④ After all, you “know” that you are already good, so you don’t need to practice more. ⑤ These considerations should give pause to supporters of increasing children’s self-esteem as a comfort for educational underachievement.

Stabilizing our climate would help resolve what many scientists consider to be the gravest environmental danger humankind has ever faced. Each of us has a part to play in shifting our culture toward a way of life that respects the natural world. The choices we make and the way we live can play roles in turning the tide. By eating in a way that is suitable both for our own health and for the health of the biosphere, we can help our society to face and to turn around the enormous environmental challenges of our times. The more people move toward plant-based food choices, the greater the possibility that our species will not only survive, but will thrive. A cultural shift toward a plant-based diet would be a step toward environmental sanity. It would be an act of love for all generations yet to come.

Genetic engineering has enormous implications; it is full of promise to benefit and improve human lives, but equally heavy with potential to destroy and cause untold suffering. The word “engineering” brings to mind images of roads and bridges and buildings, all designed and constructed to precise specifications. But as a geneticist, I can assure you that genetic engineering    is based on _____________________. For instance, if I want to insert a gene from a fruit fly into a daffodil, I can’t pull out just that gene and set it down exactly where I want it to go in its new home. The technique just doesn’t work like that. Some geneticists even use a kind of molecular shotgun to blast the genes into the cells. And they never know exactly where they’ll end up.

The Roman senator Brutus decided, after much soul-searching, that it was his duty to assassinate his close friend Julius Caesar, because he was undermining the Republic. Brutus’s wife Portia had to endure his tears, his moans, his jumping up at night in panics, without his telling her the problem. The reason for this extreme silence was that the Romans had an absurd certainty of a woman’s inability to keep a secret. To persuade her husband Brutus that she could share his burden, Portia took a knife and gashed herself on the thigh. She did not tell anybody and suffered in silence  until she was nearly dead from blood poisoning. Her last-moment confession convinced her husband that here was a woman who_______________________.
