Informal Logic

...Most of what is found in this book is also found in Copi's "Introduction to Logic". However, if you are not interested in symbolic logic and only want to learn informal logic, Copi's "Informal Logic" might be a better choice. It covers the topic in slightly greater detail, from a slightly different perspective, and is a little less expensive than "Introduction". I, too, would enthusiastically recommend "Introduction" to customers interested in a superb overview of both formal & informal logic and their applications to scientific, legal, and everyday reasoning. But, considered on its own merits, "Informal Logic" is an excellent book, perhaps the best on this topic. (BTW, an excellent supplement and handy, inexpensive reference is Weston's Rulebook for Arguments.)

This is a good book to read about the use of logic in everyday life.
