"From which detergent to buy to who we should vote for, we are constantly bombarded by reasons to believe or do something. Should we be persuaded? Should we find the reasons others give compelling? Everyone can benefit from a set of precision tools to use for evaluating reasoning. This book offers a handy critical-thinking toolbox for all areas of academic study, the workplace and daily life."--Publisher's website.
