Logic: Concise - Tapa blanda

Críticas

"This is the best logic text available; it's extremely accessible and engaging without sacrificing any rigor at all. It could be the only logic text on the market that students genuinely enjoy learning from!"--James Taylor, The College of New Jersey

"Baronett's Logic is light-years better than its competitors, and does the best job I have ever seen of putting together classic, old-school precision with the most progressive, interactive online companion resources available. Its primary strengths are the masterful coverage of the material, the nicely approachable tone, and the very generous provision of exercises."--Nathaniel Nicol, Washington State University

"Logic's key strengths are its clear presentation, emphasis on relevance of the material, helpful exercises, and wonderful group of ancillaries. I have used Hurley's textbook but I much prefer the clarity of Baronett's writing and the abundant ancillaries that Oxford University Press provides."--Jeremy Byrd, Tarrant County College

"Logic remains the most comprehensive, clearest introductory logic text available on the market. Its main strengths are its large number of examples, the clarity with which it explains key logical concepts, and its relatively low price compared to other textbooks."--James Pearson, Bridgewater State University

"This text is exceptionally strong in its use of relatable, contemporary examples that make the significance of the subject matter clear. Also, its approach to teaching students proofs is among the best I have seen; it offers them real tools for reasoning through a proof, rather than simply inundating them with rules to memorize."--Erin Tarver, Emory University

"It's hard for me to imagine students not understanding the material after reading Logic and attending class."--Court Lewis, Owensboro Community and Technical Colleger
