for a textbook, this is one is surprisingly interesting and the pictures are amazing. i'm not into the visual at all from an academic perspective, but the text is a good resource for teaching criticism and pop culture in general. there are easily accessible clarifications on the differences between modern and postmodern. i was going to sell it back, but now i think i'll keep it as a resource. the glossary is amazing and it's a good read.
