Penguin Great Ideas Series

The Penguin Great Ideas series offers groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers. Acclaimed for their striking look, each elegant volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type-driven design that highlights the bookmaker's art.
Note: While I do not subscribe to all of the ideas expressed in these works, that doesn't mean I don't think people should read them.
