An incredibly readable book introducing students to logical and fallacious reasoning in more depth than we find in most English argumentation texts. Good, easy to use, easy to understand, rather thorough introduction to the correct use of informal logic in everyday life. 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.
