I have recently spent a lot of time with the DK World Philosophy reference work and after enjoying it very much felt the urge to give it a mention this week. The DK series, particularly the Eyewitness companion series, has often been a favourite of mine and my bookshelf is littered with copies of the various titles.
The books are always colourful, accurate, easy to suggest and marvellously laid out and really any quizzer would benefit from having any of the titles on their shelf. I have certainly learnt and revised a lot from them.
Philosophy is a tough area but one which a serious quizzer must get to grips with and this book serves not only as a great primer but also as a great in depth research tool. Its the best of hate bunch in terms of titles on the subject I have seen and is a joy to read!
Never tried the DK books. They seem like good introductory works, though, for getting to grips with a particular topic.
