5.0 out of 5 stars great overviews 7 Jan 2011
By Kathryn Hargrave
this will be a short and simple review.
i'm a philosophy 2nd year and find this book incredibly useful, in fact i probably fall back on it too much. the purpose of this book is to provide bried overviews of uncountable topics, which i know is invaluable to me because sometimes you just dont even know where to start.
each entry is written by different people and helpfully cross-reference with other topics for more depth.
i have a paperback version, which yes is huge but what else do you expect? for this money, it's an incredible useful bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic price, even better book. 6 Jan 2013
By Oliver Holdsworth
Amazon Verified Purchase
Concise entries, whilst remaining perfectly coherent- proved an excellent introduction into new topics. Although the book is unashamedly geared towards breadth over depth, it by no means gives those entries which I've looked at an unfair description, and the further reading sections prove most useful.
