I’m again in Amsterdam. This time I wanted to bring a couple of small books in case I took a train someplace. Well, I did (you can find my travelogue entry here), and I took this book with me.
Its a good book. Its good to be reminded occasionally how to analyze arguments and how to make successful arguments. The book provides a simple introduction to logic without a lot of diagrams or special symbiology (some of the standard symbols are introduced). The most valuable part of the book is probably the discussion on how to present a successful argument to a given audience.
