There is a wonderful series of books called “The Skinny On” that I recommend you check out.  The idea behind the books is to distill the very best information possible about various topics into a compact and easy to read format.  The author, Jim Randel and his team, study the very best books and research in the topic area and create a fun and easy to read book.  They are structured and organized for easy future reference.  From the author:

“The books examine and synthesize the leading research on an array of topics, determine the bottom-line, need-to-know information, and present helpful analysis in an engaging stick-figure illustrated narrative.”

I tend to prefer long deep books and yet I love these little books and I think you will too.  This is a fantastic idea and one I wish I had thought of 30 years ago!  The ones I have read and can recommend follow.  Notice the overwhelming positive reviews.
