[Timo · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you have any interest in Philosophy, Donald Palmers books are simply amazing. He's a long-time professor of Philosophy, and he writes these as text books for philosophy students. But the summaries are so clear and easy to follow. You can get very deep concepts explained simply. They are approachable and make philosophy fun to read.
