Each book in the series offers a concise yet cogent introduction to a particular subject. Written by acknowledged experts, most books are between 100-150 pages and contain suggestions for further reading. Authors often present personal viewpoints, but each introduction is intended to be balanced and complete. As of September [[2007]], there are more than 170 titles in the series, including ''History'', ''Theology'', ''Literary Theory'', ''Philosophy of Science'', ''Postmodernism'', ''Emotion'', ''Animal Rights'', ''Ethics'', ''Shakespeare'', ''Hume'', ''Terrorism'', ''The Spanish Civil War'' and ''Evolution''. The publisher states that "the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all readers an accessible and abundant reference library."{{Fact|date=April 2008}} The VSI series has been extremely successful, both commercially<ref>By early 2008, Oxford University Press was giving sales figures for the series as over two million copies worldwide. See [http://www.oup.co.uk/general/vsi/about/ publisher's site]</ref> and critically{{Fact|date=September 2007}}, since its inception in [[1998]]. Many of the books have been used as textbooks in introductory university courses.{{Fact|date=September 2007}} Many of the books were comissioned explicitly for the series, but a number had previously been published by OUP. ==List of books in the series== {| class="wikitable" style="border:1px; background-color:#f7f8ff" align=center cellpadding="7" |-align="center" bgcolor="#e6e9ff" !width="30"|# !!width="130"|Topic !!width="125"|Author(s) !!width="115"|Publication date !!width="30"|# !!width="130"|Topic !!width="125"|Author(s) !!width="115"|Publication date |- | 001 || ''[[Classics]]'' || [[Mary Beard (classicist)|Mary Beard]],<br> John Henderson || [[24 February]] [[2000]] || 002 || ''[[Music]]'' || Nicholas Cook || [[24 February]] [[2000]] |- | 003 || ''[[Buddhism]]'' || Damien Keown || [[24 February]] [[2000]] || 004 || ''[[Literary theory|Literary Theory]]'' || [[Jonathan Culler]] || [[24 February]] [[2000]] |- | 005 || ''[[Hinduism]]'' || Kim Knott || [[24 February]] [[2000]] || 006 || ''[[Psychology]]'' || Gillian Butler,<br> Freda McManus || [[24 February]] [[2000]] |- | 007 || ''[[Islam]]'' || [[Malise Ruthven]] || [[24 February]] [[2000]] || 008 || ''[[Politics]]'' || [[Kenneth Minogue]] || [[24 February]] [[2000]] |- | 009 || ''[[Theology]]'' || David F.
