Great introduction to Aristotle with some references to other important Greek philosophers. Page layout is really nice -- good sidebars, a mix of different types of illustrations and photos, and concise text. I also appreciate that the book has a table of contents, glossary, and an index. If they do an update, I'd love to see a page that includes highlights in the development of philosophical/scientific thinking in other regions of the world (i.e. China, India, South America).
