Art History 101 Without the Exams
'Art History 101 Without the Exams' is an academic textbook that is written by Annie Montgomery Labatt. This is a textbook that to me read just like a novel. The book starts out looking at prehistoric art all the way to modern art. The technical format of the book is fine print on glossy pages, but still easy to read. The images in the book are bright and vivid and shows the reader what the artists saw and did during the times of their lives.

Numbers
'Numbers' a book written by an old, wise person. This is the story of how we should be accountable in all that we say and do. It is a very descriptive text on how we all 'spend' our time and to make sure we are doing it for the right reasons. It is very detailed for there are many lists and it does seem to repeat but that is only to get you to remember the 'Why'.

Julia is a writer and a teacher and says this is for beginning readers and has chosen primary type for easy reading. Rachael has created pictures that are vivid and realistic images in her work.
