"The Elements of Reasoning" is a concise and lucid introduction to the basic elements of argumentative prose and the conceptual tools necessary to understand, analyze, criticize, and construct arguments. This text is not only perfect for a college course in argument analysis, but also as a reference tool when confronted with arguments outside the classroom experience. While "The Elements of Reasoning" covers the standard formal tools of introductory logic, its emphasis is on practical applications to the kinds of arguments students most often encounter.
