Logic and Controversy

This new text brings the traditional material of introductory logic (critical thinking, informal and modern symbolic logic) to bear on present day issues terrorism, abortion, the death penalty, ABM treaty, stem cell research essays and editorials found in the New York Times, USA Today, Miami Herald, and other major newspapers and news magazines from all over the United States. This original format engages students in applying logic and critical thinking to important issues. They learn not only the techniques of introductory logic but will achieve a much deeper understanding of the great controversies that we face.
