Pickpick

I thought this introductory book by Leslie Stevenson was insightful and descriptive in discussing the philosophers and their philosophical beliefs. He doesn't delve too deep into the the doctrines and prefers giving the reader a brief, I feel this works in a great way as it keeps new people interested in the subject wanting more instead of forcing them to become perplexed with Philosophy terminology. Great read, I enjoyed it.
