Advantages: well-conceived, concise, fun to read, entertaining, extensive, covers a lot of concepts. Disadvantages: May confuse absolute beginners.
. This, coupled with the often rather floaty prose, causes the book to fail to work particularly well as a nice, cosy, all-encompassing introduction to the vast and complex world of Philosophy, despite its fairly thorough glossary and index. Nonetheless, its still a fairly easy read for those with a reasonable grounding in the material. Although some of the articles toward the end of the book reference earlier ones, it's still very much something you can flick through and put down, as cross-referencing is pretty easy with this one. The entire book is layed out in 9 categories; Problems of Knowledge, Mind Matters, Ethics, Animal Rights, Logic and Meaning, Science, Aesthetics, Religion and finally, Politics, Justice and Society.

You know whatit’s like, Teen Romantic comedies – seen one and you’ve seen them all. With just a few exceptions. But despite saying that, this is a worthy effort. It’s is a formulaic teen comedy in the mould of many others – but it is very watchable, cheesy but funny.
It has several plus points – some of them are on the chests of Kirsten Dunst and Melissa Sagemiller, the ‘hot babes’ referred to in my title. Dunst is really sweet AND Sexy as ‘Kelly’, the little sister of ‘Felix’ (Colin Hanks) who helps get his best friend ‘Berke’ (yes, REALLY! – played by Ben Foster) over ‘Allison’ (Sagemiller) who has just dumped him.
The other major plus point is the inclusion of the much underated and underused Martin Short. He makes a terrific ...
