Students love the Very Short Introductions series of books, launched in 1995 with Classics by Mary Beard, and now comprising a wide variety of topics in history, philosophy, religion, science, and the humanities. By the end of 2008 the series will consist of over 190 titles.

The series is phenomenally successful and, enjoying worldwide critical acclaim, has grown to become the favourite general introduction series for the intelligent reader. Each week 10,000 Very Short Introductions are sold around the world, and the series has been published in over 25 languages.

Ideal for train journeys, holidays, and as a quick catch-up for busy people who want something intellectually stimulating, Very Short Introductions combine authoritative analysis, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make often challenging topics highly readable.

These vibrant and accessible books can change the way you think about the things that interest you, and are the perfect introduction to subjects you previously knew nothing about. From a lucid explanation of the essential issues in Islam to a lively insight into the complex theory of poststructuralism, and a non-technical assessment of the very matter that makes up the universe in Cosmology, Very Short Introductions make often challenging topics highly readable and have proven to be extremely popular with general readers, as well as undergraduate students and their lecturers.
