Causation: A Very Short Introduction might be a very short (128 pages) introduction but it deals with a weighty topic. At the basis of explanation and prediction is the theory of causation. This balanced book is authored byStephen Mumford, Professor of Metaphysics at the Department of Philosophy, University of Nottingham,Rani Lill Anjum, Research Fellow in Philosophy, Norwegian University of Life Sciences - both experts in their fields. The variety of topics sound fascinating: Indian Philosophy, Witchcraft, The World Trade Organization, Global Warming, Sociology and Islam, Politics to Classics, Game Theory and many more. How these are all related I have no idea, but I'm going to order it and find out!
