A Great Walk Around Padua

Dr. Steer is an excellent guide on this walking tour (virtual of course) of Padua...I learned so much about the community, its history, the architecture, the customs and the art...her illustrations are excellent! I will have that blue chapel in my mind for months and months to come with her voice talking about it.

Excellent program, food for further thought and research.

This was an excellent program and presentation. It covered many areas of history and culture of the Middle East, North Africa and Europe, which will merit considerable more thought and even research. Put some important current issues in context.

This is an absolutely wonderful introduction to the history of European art. By focusing in on selected works, the broader trends become much more understandable. I do not think there is anyone more enthusiastic than Sabry!
