Whether Regarded as a science, an art, or a skill--and it can properly be regarded as all three--logic is the basis of our ability to think, analyze, argue, and communicate. Indeed, logic goes to the very core of what we mean by human intelligence. In this concise, crisply readable book, Professor D. Q. McInerny offers an indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life. Written explicitly for the layperson, McInerny's Being Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White's The Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice.
As McInerny notes, logic is a field with a profound bearing on our lives. A mastery of logic begins with an understanding of right reasoning--and encompasses a grasp of the kinship between logical thought and logical expression, a know ledge of the basic terms of argument, and a familiarity with the pitfalss of illogical thinking. Accordingly, McInerny structures his book as a series of brief chapters that build on one another to form a coherent introduction to clear and effective reasoning.
At the heart of the book is a consideration of argument--how an argument is founded and elaborated, how it differs from other forms of intellectual discourse, and how it embodies the elements of logic. McInerny teases out the subtleties and complexities of premises and conclusions, differentiates statements of fact from statements of value, and discusses the principles and uses of every major type of argument, from the syllogistic to the conditional. In addition, he provides an incisive look at illogical thinking and explains how to recognize and avoid the most common errors of logic.
In Being Logical, D. Q. McInerny breaks logic down to its essentials through clear analysis, accessible examples, and focused insights. Whether you are a student or a teacher, a professional honing your career skills or a generalist devoted to the fine points of thought and expression, you are sure to find Being Logical an invaluable guide to reasoning.

大概6个小时读完了，150页，短小的一本书。看台大的逻辑学发现好感兴趣，于是找了几本书看，算是我逻辑入门的第一本书吧。总体来说还是不错的。确实适合入门，一些普通概念和基本推理，基本上都有instance或者situation，清楚明白。缺点是不够详细，深入学习这本书不够。尤其是书后部分感觉是突然扔了一大堆概念给你，难消化啊。还得继续学习。

如果是对英文逻辑学基础感兴趣的，这本书适合入门，但也仅限于入门了。

两个下午愉快地读完。文字简洁易懂，很有启发性，但存在部分知识点重复的问题，感觉整个书的结构有些问题
