Introducing Philosophy of Science: A Graphic Guide
by Ziauddin Sardar

What do scientists actually do? Is science "value-free"? How has science evolved through history? Where is science leading us? "Introducing Philosophy of Science" is a clear and incisively illustrated map of the big questions underpinning science. It is essential reading for students, the general public, and even scientists themselves.

“Introducing Philosophy of Science” explores this question and many more. It reveals how science itself, as well as our approach to studying it, has changed radically over the last few decades, and in particular examines the development of science studies from its origins in the ideas of Thomas Kuhn, Karl Popper, Paul Feyerabend and others.

Introducing Mind & Brain
by Angus Gellatly
Barcode #MB006015

"Introducing Mind and Brain" examines a profound and mysterious puzzle: how does the biological tissue that makes up the brain give rise to the activities that our culture refers to as 'the mind'? How does the three pounds of electric sponge stowed in the top of your head allow you to experience enchantment in front of an evening landscape, and then make you remember the shopping, say 'Damnl' and head off to the supermarket? This book explains what the sciences have to say about planning and action, language, memory, attention, emotions and vision. It traces the historical development of ideas about the brain and its function from antiquity to the age of neuro-imaging. Through a clear combination of words and images, writer Angus Gellatly and award-winning artist Oscar Zarate invite the reader to take a fresh look at the nature of mind, consciousness and personal identity.

Introducing Linguistics: A Graphic Guide
by R.L. Trask
Barcode #MB005887

Covering thinkers from Aristotle to Saussure and Chomsky, "Introducing Linguistics" reveals the rules and beauty that underlie language, our most human skill.

Linguistics is the discipline which studies the structure and functions of both individual languages and the phenomenon of language itself. In spite of early efforts by ancients and medieval scholars, most of our progress in understanding language has come only within the last century, and much of this work is very recent indeed.

Introducing Quantum Theory: A Graphic Guide
by J.P. McEvoy
Barcode #MB006014

Quantum theory confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics. At the subatomic level, one particle seems to know what the others are doing, and according to Heisenberg's "uncertainty principle", there is a limit on how accurately nature can be observed. And yet the theory is amazingly accurate and widely applied, explaining all of chemistry and most of physics. "Introducing Quantum Theory" takes us on a step-by-step tour with the key figures, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Schrodinger. Each contributed at least one crucial concept to the theory. The puzzle of the wave-particle duality is here, along with descriptions of the two questions raised against Bohr's "Copenhagen Interpretation" - the famous "dead and alive cat" and the EPR paradox. Both remain unresolved.

Introducing Time: A Graphic Guide
by Craig Callender |
Barcode #MB006023

What is time? The 5th-century philosopher St Augustine famously said that he knew what time was, so long as no one asked him. Is time a fourth dimension similar to space or does it flow in some sense? And if it flows, does it make sense to say how fast? Does the future exist? Is time travel possible? Why does time seem to pass in only one direction? These questions and others are among the deepest and most subtle that one can ask, but "Introducing Time" presents them - many for the first time - in an easily accessible, lucid and engaging manner, wittily illustrated by Ralph Edney.

Introducing Mathematics
by Ziauddin Sardar
Barcode #MB006012

What is mathematics, and why is it such a mystery to so many people? Mathematics is the greatest creation of human intelligence. It affects us all. We depend on it in our daily lives, and yet many of the tools of mathematics, such as geometry, algebra and trigonometry, are descended from ancient or non-Western civilizations. Introducing Mathematics traces the story of mathematics from the ancient world to modern times, describing the great discoveries and providing an accessible introduction to such topics as number-systems, geometry and algebra, the calculus, the theory of the infinite, statistical reasoning and chaos theory. It shows how the history of mathematics has seen progress and paradox go hand in hand - and how this is still happening today.

Introducing Sociology: A Graphic Guide
by Richard Osborne
Barcode #MB006018

Sociology, simply, is the study of how society functions or, in some cases, does not function. Sociologists can investigate the function of inequality, the importance of gender roles, the reasons why people commit suicide or move to the countryside, the origins of bureaucracy, the impact of youth cultures and much else besides.

“Introducing Sociology” traces the origins of sociology from Enlightenment thought and the pioneering work of Auguste Comte to subsequent developments by Karl Marx, Herbert Spencer, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber.

Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction
by Jonathan Culler
Barcode #MB005742

Shedding light on everything from literature and social identity, to poetry, poetics, and rhetoric, Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction is a welcome guide for all students and readers of literature. Answering questions such as “What is literary theory?” and “Why have theorists been arguing about the distinction between humans and animals?, Jonathan Cullere explains “Theory” by sketching key “moves” that theory has encouraged, and by speaking directly about the implications of theory for thinking about literature, human identity, and the power of language.

50 Literature Ideas – You really need to know
by John Sutherland
Barcode #MB005735

Literature suffers from appearing both deceptively easy and dauntingly difficult. We all like to think we can read a novel and understand what 'genre', 'style' and 'narrative' mean, but do we really understand them fully and how they can enrich our reading experience? How should we approach the works of great writers such as William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Charles Dickens and Jane Austen? And what can we hope to learn from apparently difficult ideas such as 'hermeneutics', 'affective fallacy' and 'bricolage'? 50 Literature Ideas you Really Need to Know is the essential guide to all the important forms, concepts, themes and movements in literature. It provides a clear, opinionated and thorough overview of theories about the nature of language and meaning, and outlines the thinking behind key literary concepts such as postmodernism, semiology, postcolonialism and structuralism. Best-selling author and critic John Sutherland offers a fresh and challenging overview of literary ideas and theories, from the apparently familiar to the decidedly unfamiliar. Packed with insights and examples from both classic and popular works, it is a book that will delight anyone who has ever been mystified by literary jargon and wants to gain a deeper, more thorough enjoyment of reading and writing.
