Customer Reviews

Just what I needed

This book was just what I needed for my son's Logic class at Ole Miss.

GREAT AND FAST SHIPPING

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A BOOK FOR ONE OF MY CLASSES AND THE SHIPPING WAS REALLY FAST.

Logic

This is an excellent book for students of logic. It covers all the essential material that would be presented in most college logic courses. I found the text to be very comprehensive and easy to understand.

Great Intro Book

Whether or not you're planning on getting this book for a college or university course, or if you're getting it for personal interest, Hurley makes it easy to understand. The chapters are quick and easy to read, the examples and chapter problems are interesting, up-to-date, and sometimes humorous. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM does not work with Macintosh computers. The book is still, however, a worthy purchase.
