"Very Short Introductions" |
||
Oxford's Very
Short Introductions Series offers concise and original introductions to a
wide range of subjects covering history, religion, philosophy, science, etc. Not
simply a textbook of definitions, each volume in this series provides trenchant and
provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a
given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable
evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how the subject has developed and how
it has influenced society. Below are 29 titles on religion, mythology & philosophy selected from this series. Click on title to order from Amazon.com. Some titles will not be available until late 2005. |
