Philosophy: Sound smarter without trying harder

Description

This book fills that void next to your recliner as the go-to reference whenever work conversations or bar trivia have you feeling stupid. The top ten academic subjects are broken into digestible pieces, including Fast Facts: one-liners that delivers important information; Repeatable Quotables: smart words by smart people to make readers look smart by repeating them; Visual Aids: graphs, charts, and tables, for when even a few words are way too much; and Cheat Sheets: chapter-ending recaps that reinforce the major points to take away. Whether you want an answer to a biology question, or to brush up on your Spanish during a commercial break, this book is perfect for people who couldn't bother paying attention the first time.--From publisher description.;Philosophy -- Music -- The classics -- Modern language -- History -- Language arts -- Religion -- Social sciences -- Physical sciences -- Mathematics.
