Description

More fallacies! More cartoons! In this newest, updated (3rd) edition of the Bluedorn's marvelous book. Fun to use: teaches skills that you can make use of right away.

If the very idea of learning logic (or teaching logic to your children) overwhelms you, then this is the "primer" (first book) for your family. It's a highly user-friendly, practical start to the investigation of logic, with a focus on common errors and flaws in our thinking.

Do you think you have any of those? You practice them more than you know! A fallacy is an error in logic -- a place where someone has made a mistake in his thinking. The Bluedorns do a superb job of exposing common errors, in a humorous and fascinating format.

This edition introduces the "special pleading" and "slippery slope" fallacies. Exercises with answer key, use of Peanuts, Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbes cartoons to illustrate the points.
