Boyd's text integrates the rigor of the study of logic in a fresh, accessible style of writing to show students that logic is essential and less daunting than they might think. This text assumes that logic is practiced and best understood by students when they see practical applications of logic principles. Robert Boyd's new text is useful for introductory courses in critical reasoning and logic. The author is to be commended for writing an accessible text that also has plenty of rigor.Boyd's book does an effective job in covering the topics most instructors will be looking for in a textbook of this sort, but it also stands out in terms of the real-life reasoning exercises it provides and the way it focuses on practical applications." William Lawhead, University of Mississippi
"Boyd has written a wide-ranging text that will be useful for almost any kind of introductory course in logic or critical reasoning. Both student and instructor should find this a useful tool for enhancing reasoning skills." Scott Shalkowski, University of Leeds "A comprehensive introduction to the basics of reasoning, with helpful summaries and exercises. The writing applications give the students a strong sense of the practical applications of logical principles, something missing from many texts." Michael Coste, Front Range Community College In particular, the section on identifying arguments is well done. Gives instructors a realistic view of what to expect from a student who is just learning critical reasoning. Gives students a model to look at as they are developing their own papers. Allows students to gain confidence with the simpler problems before they progress to the more difficult problems. Gives instructors flexibility in assigning homework.
