Overview
A textbook for an undergraduate course introducing formal reasoning techniques and including coverage of such topics as the underlying nature of good reasoning, argument refutation by logical analogy, incomplete arguments, informal and statistical fallacies, and critical thinking about science and about other topics (the media, oneself). The appendices present three documents for analysis (the Declaration of Independence, and arguments against the electronic monitoring of employees and the legalization of drugs), but the book is intended to be used with a collection of readings, especially readings that offer opposing perspectives. The first edition was published in 1996. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OREditorials
