Descartes in 90 Minutes by Paul Strathern
A concise and informative biographical tour of the life of Descartes mixed with a little bit of his philosophical thoughts. I appreciate these books because it humanizes the great minds, provides a basic historical context, and offers some insight (actual or inferred) about how they might have come up with the ideas they did.

I love the whole 90 minutes series. Because of Strathern, I've learned about philosophy from Socrates to Wittgenstein and everyone in between. He has a knack for bringing these characters to life.
