Description

This easy-to-view book of philosophy presents the material clearly and engagingly. There is a good balance of philosophers, philosophical arguments, and illustrations. Terminology, vocabulary, and concepts are well explained, laying a good foundation for further study of the subject. Each chapter focuses on a single topic, so the book can be read and digested in random order. There is a glossary of terms, a large list of suggested reading, and an index of topics. The Degree in a Book: Philosophy would make a good elective as an introduction to philosophy. In fact, some educators may decide to perhaps add in some of the titles in the suggested reading section to make it credit worthy. Alone it could possibly be a ½ high school credit, assuming that the teacher develops some way to assess student work and comprehension. Assigning written work, creating quizzes and tests, or perhaps an interactive notebook, would all suffice. It should be noted that there is a copy of Michelangelo's “The Creation of Adam" within the book showing male nudity. 256 pgs, pb. ~Judy

Category Description for Degree in A Book

The Degree in a Book series appears to take the essential topics of an individual subject and break them down into nuggets of information that are easy to process and understand. What the product becomes is a course that is a great introduction to the subject at hand! The books are filled with text and illustrations, feature spreads, information boxes, suggestions for further reading, and more. They are structured in normal book format, and do not look like a standard course text, so there are no comprehension questions, quizzes/tests, and no teacher material. Assigning written essays, interactive notebooking, or composing your own quizzes and tests, would not be hard to do given the amount of information presented in these books. Each softbound book has 256 pages.
