More color: 70% of the images are in color, up from 53% in the second edition.

New chapter ending timelines: Chapter summaries as well as ideal study aides, the timelines list every piece of art from the chapter, along with concurrent cultural events and thumbnails of the most significant artworks.

Non-western essays: Five full-page "Beyond the West" essays have been added to the text to introduce students to the art of the world outside of the Western canon. These essays have been added at points of cross-cultural contact (Africa and the European avant-garde or Japan and the Impressionists, for example) to maintain the Western chronological narrative of the text.

Methodologies: The new edition introduces students to methodologies of art history - formalism, iconography, etc. - to underscore the variety of approaches in art criticism.

Every copy packaged with the McGraw-Hill Electronic Guide to Research in Art.
