Description\Summary
This book examines the reasoning process from a practical point of view. Logic is presented as a tool - a procedure for reaching well-supported conclusions and evaluation arguments - that students will use every day for the rest of their lives. It explains deduction and induction clearly, exposes the common fallacies, and relates problems of language, statistics, evidence and the scientific method to critical thinking. It contains a wide variety of examples designed both to hold student interest and to show logic in action.
