The Art of Deception by Nicholas Capaldi
A work on critical thinking that uses a novel approach to teach the basics of informal logic. It helps readers to detect the misuse or abuse of logic when they encounter it in others - whether in a heated political debate or while trying to evaluate the claims of a persuasive sales person.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about intellectual self-defenceIt should be on every student's book shelf, and on every educators list of recommended reading. -- Dr Jason Braithwaite, Behavioural Brain Sciences Centre, University of Birmingham.
