Introducing Cultural and Media Studies: A Semiotic Approach Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very good condition, postage and shipping process a bit slow and I was disappointed that the book was so cheap, but ended up costing nearly the same price of buying it new in a retail store because of the shipping charges, so I probably wouldn't buy something like that again.

Philosophy (Irwin Trader's Edge Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Mel Thompson's book Philosophy is one of the best books on the subject I have read. He approaches the matter in a writing style that is way far from the pompous, rigid, holier-than-thou method some writers use. His writing is lucid, captivating, fun and educational (two words which are rarely found together)...He discusses concisely yet sufficiently and thoroughly about philosophic concepts and highlights the most important parts of each concept and elucidates them masterfully. This book will appeal to anyone from the member of the philosophical clerisy to the ordinary layperson. A truly interesting read.

An accessible introduction to the central questions in Western philosophy and how the major philosophers have explored them. What can we know for certain about the world or ourselves? Can we prove the existence of God? How is the mind related to the body? What does it mean to be moral or immoral? What is justice? How should society be organized? Questions such as these are central to how we think about the world and form the core of the discipline of philosophy. This text answers these essential questions and explores how philosophical movements have considered them. Organized by theme and topic rather than historically, key terms are explained, such as metaphysics and existentialism.
