| Summary/Abstract |
Aristotle was a foundational thinker in almost every field of inquiry: logic, metaphysics, rational psychology, political science, sociology, aesthetics, ethics and more. This book guides the reader through an explosion of theories, from the establishment of systematic logic to the earliest rules of science. Aristotle's authority extended beyond his own lifetime to influence Islamic philosophy and medieval scholasticism. For fifteen centuries he remained the paradigm of knowledge itself. But can Aristotelian realism still be used to underpin our conception of the world today? This series of graphic guides covers every key thinker and topic in philosophy, psychology, science, politics, religion, cultural studies, linguistics and more. Written by experts and illustrated by leading graphic artists, there is no better way to acquaint yourself with the biggest and best ideas humanity has ever come up with.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 1859, Charles Darwin shocked the world with a radical theory, evolution by natural selection. One hundred and fifty years later, his theory still challenges some of our most precious beliefs. Introducing Evolution provides a step-by-step guide to "Darwin's dangerous idea" and takes a fresh look at the often misunderstood concepts of natural selection and the selfish gene. Drawing on the latest findings from genetics, ecology and animal behaviour, as well as the work of best-selling science writers such as Richard Dawkins and Steven Pinker, a string of brilliant examples, superbly illustrated by Howard Selina, reveals how the evidence in favour of evolutionary theory is stronger than ever.
