In 1995, Oxford University Press launched a new series called A Very Short Introduction, comprised of slim, 35,000-word books on such wide-ranging topics as Rivers, Metaphysics, the Russian Revolution, the Reagan Revolution, Fascism, Dinosaurs, and the Devil. The series now includes more than 600 installments, which have collectively sold more than 8 million copies and have been translated into at least 49 languages. "Although no one would describe 'Isotopes: A Very Short Introduction' as pleasure reading, it’s a profound relief, these days, to press our collective feverish forehead against the cold steel of actual information," Kathryn Schulz writes. "What better time than one in which nothing makes any sense to revive the ancient dream of knowing everything?" Tap the link in our bio to read about how a collective yearning for mastery, or the illusion of it, has helped make a nerdy series from a nerdy publishing house impressively popular.
