Ever since text books have been introduced to humans, they have been almost addicted to books. The main area where books have been extensively used and are still being used is the arena of education. In case of science, text books act as guides to a more practical aspect of calculation and experiments. Humanities text books however are a basic necessity.
Humanities involve that stream of education that deals with human lives. These studies are based largely on analytical, critical or exploratory approaches. Generally humanities include subjects like:
- Ancient and modern languages
- Literature
- History
- Philosophy
- Anthropology
- Religion
- Visual arts
- Performing arts
For almost all of these humanities subjects it is necessary to gather knowledge and information from books. Being based largely on ancient incidents, records of ancient happenings, lifestyles and culture, humanities almost wholly rely on humanities text books not just for past references but also for future development.
Humanities text books includes text books for schools and colleges, old scriptures for research consultation, literature texts, historical records, anthropological studies and other forms that cannot be replaced by objective rational and practical approaches. The use of humanities text books have continued over the ages and continue to serve millions even in this new age of technology.
