The Introducing series of books

If you haunt bookstores as I do, you must have seen some of these books. They look like [graphic novel]s (upscale [comic books]). You might think of these as [Cliff's Notes] for [postmodern]s. The illustrations are monochrome and range in quality from clever [collage]s and cartoons to crude scribbles.

The topics covered up to 1999 include [Ancient Eastern Philosophy], [Astrology], [Barthes], [Baudrillard], [Buddha], [Camus], [Chaos], [Chomsky], [Cultural Studies], [Cyberspace], [Derrida], [Descartes], [Ethics], [Fascism], [Feminism], [Foucault], [Genetics], [Hegel], [Jesus], [Joyce], [Jung], [Kafka], [Kant], [Keynes], [Lévi-Strauss], [Lacan], [Machiavelli], [Mandela], [Melanie Klein], [Muhammad], [Newton], [Nietzsche], [Picasso], [Postmodernism], [Quantum Theory], [Sartre], [Semiotics], [Stephen Hawking], [The Enlightenment], [The Holocaust], [The Internet], [The Universe], [Wagner], [Walter Benjamin], and [Wittgenstein], (the title of each book is Introducing followed by one of the above topics).
