An incredibly readable book introducing students to logical and fallacious reasoning in more depth than we find in most English argumentation texts. "This text is a clear, practical introduction to thinking well in daily situations and improving critical thinking skills for reading, writing and speaking." "An in-depth text that integrates logic and the many forms of modern rhetoric. A text that would be useful in advanced writing courses, communications courses, and also as a critical thinking text." "Good, easy to use, easy to understand, rather thorough introduction to the correct use of informal logic in everyday life."
