Customer Reviews

A well structured text introducing logic and reasoning.

This book is a well designed tool for educators. It contains the rudiments of logic with pertinent questions to aid the learner. One weakness of the book is that some questions demand a fairly broad knowledge (although with a little outside research the homework is managable). However, no need for despair - the answers for all questions are provided at the end of the book. The structure of the book is very helpful. Each chapter has a brief review of previous information, an overview for the current chapter, well outlined content, examples, and a good summary of the lesson. Questions are designed to engage the learner at the various levels of learning. The author also suggests help for the teacher. At the beginning, he includes a few lists of selected chapters showing teachers how they can use the book to meet different needs. Logic is the tool for pursuing truth! This book can help the high school age student attain the skills needed. Those planning on attending college should certainly master it. Over all Dr.Tagliapietra's book is a very good introduction to a subject sorely needed.
