Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Eminently readable, crystalline explanations and examples. Very good. ( ) As the title suggests, this is an entire book dedicated to fallacies of argument and logic. It's a slim little volume, fairly inexpensive and doesn't take up a lot of space. Therefore, I highly suggest this to anyone studying writing, literature, history, critical thinking, communication ... well, just about everything, really. Learn how to fill up the holes in your logic while simultaneously pointing out the gaps in others'! Seriously, though, having this book on hand will greatly refine your writing and analytical skills. Oh, and don't be confused by the edition with a red cover; it's the same content as the blue edition. no reviews | add a review
A handbook of the myriad ways we go about being illogical - how we deceive others and ourselves, how we think and argue in ways that are disorderly, disorganized, or irrelevant. No library descriptions found. |
