Anyone who struggles to read big books, and for anyone who wants to delve into the juicy elements of a topic without the long winded introduction. 

How I like to learn about any topic is by delving deep into its bigger contextual narrative and it's historical viewpoint, in any subject. Its roots, it's meaning, it's struggles, why does it do this and that etc etc, all those juicy burning questions that form it's framework and foundations, I go out and seek. Bill gates advocates this style of learning in a recent video I watched. 

These books really do help you to do jus that in a quicker, no nonsense concise and accessible way. I love them and recommend them to anyone who wishes to acquire the foundations and infrastructure to any subject.

A very short introduction (Oxford) books.

@Superfluo I'd be curious to hear why you think they are stage yellow?

@Ulax They seem to me to take in account many sides in an integral way.

@Superfluo I like it dude. I've personally found some of them to be a bit ideological, i.e. author comes at it from a certain perspective and doesn't seem to me acknowledge its just one perspective.

Do you have any books in the series you particularly liked?

@Superfluo Thanks.

I liked the start of the one on literary theory. I found it pretty hard to understand tho. I think it would be hard to understand for a lot of folks who aren't too familiar with postmodernism but I'd say that's more of a guess from me.
