The Learning Resource Centre is offering a trial of the popular Oxford’s Very Short Introductions Series from now till June 30, 2015.

Oxford's Very Short Introductions offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, and Literary Theory to History. Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume provides trenchant and provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a given topic. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how it has developed and influenced society. Whatever the area of study, whatever the topic that fascinates the reader, the series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.

You may access Very Short Introductions Series via LRC website ("E-resources"--"E-Books") or http://www.veryshortintroductions.com/
