Bennett is a reader-friendly introduction to logic that connects formal reasoning with everyday misunderstandings. The book uses puzzles, practical questions, anecdotes, and visual examples to clarify the relationship between language and logic. It surveys key topics including truth tables, syllogisms, fallacies, and fuzzy logic, linking historical development of logical theories to common thinking errors. Aimed at both students and experienced reasoners, it supports exam preparation through standardized-test style samples.","DEBORAH J.BENNETT  \nThe best and the most lucid introduction to logic you will find.\"—Martin Gardner  \nHOW TO KNOW WHENLANGUAGE DECEIVES YOU  \n# LOGICMADE EASY\n\nComplete with puzzles you can try and practical questions that will help you withstandardized tests,Logic

local voting booth,you encounter a referendum on the repeal of termlimits.If you vote\"yes,\"do you favor term limits?  \n3.Does a parent's admonition “If you eat your dinner,you may have dessert\"really mean kids have to eat their dinner in order to eat dessert?  \nThe answer to these and countiess other intriguing questions can be found inDeborah Bennett's highly informative and endlessly provocative Logic Made Easy.  \nPR A ISE FOR DE BORAH J.BENNETT  \n\"Bennett's text...is like a café conversation between likablecognoscenti...nothing could more provoke and excite the

contemporary anduser-friendly voice.  \nPenetrating and practical,Logic Made Easydetails the often muddy relationship betweenlanguage and logic through anecdotal histories,puzzles,and questions you can try yourself—anddozens of visual examples.Both curiousstudents and experienced logicians will besurprised by Deborah Bennett's ability toidentify the illogical in everything from  \nmaddening street signs to tax forms that canmake April the cruelest month.  \nAlthough the rules of logic were invented over  \n2,300 years ago,people still have a difficulttime applying these rules to everyday thinking.Aware of these challenges,Bennett links thehistorical development of logical theories witheveryday hurdles by demonstrating that mistakesin spoken logic often explain the mishaps andmisunderstandings that plague daily life.  \nFrom truth tables to syllogisms,fallacies tofuzzy logic,Bennett meticulously describeslogical concepts and their points of intersectionand departure,presenting a finely distilledsurvey of the entire field of logic in under threehundred pages.She explores each topic withexactly the right amount of depth,sprinklingline drawings,tables,and sample questionstaken from the common standardized tests  \nthroughout her engaging narrative.For studentswho don't have a lot of time on their hands,Logic Made Easy is a much more effective andinteresting way to get ready for exams than thephone book-sized tomes in the test-prep sectionof the bookstore.(continued on back flap)  \n(continued trom front flap)  \nA college professor,Bennett
