Just wanted to highlight what I consider to be a gem of a non-fiction series by published by DK for teens and adults: the Big Ideas Simply Explained series.

These general interest non-fiction books cover a broad topic such as Math, Law, Philosophy, and Psychology using interesting pictures, infographics, charts, timelines, illustrations and more to help explain the bigger topics at hand.

These award-winning books provide a perfect introduction for teens and students, and since they offer a concise, thought-provoking format, they make a great refresher for adults interested in a subject without dumbing anything down. Visually, the books themselves are stunning and recognizable. As you browse the non-fiction collection, you can’t help but notice the colorful spines calling out to you! I predict that these books will become a patron favorite, much like the No-Fear Shakespeare books, because they offer quality information in an unique and accessible way. If you haven’t yet picked up a copy, now’s your chance – they are currently on display in TeenSpace.

I hope you enjoy!
