Summary: Enlightening book
Comment: In a world where many educators bombard students with ambiguous thoughts and statements, using understandable terminology Hard Thinking outlines how the average person can effectively see through the verbal muck and dissern valid logical arguments from illogical emotional drivel. This book explains why not all opinions posed possess equal value and how to evaluate "arguments" to find truth. This book explains why the truth simply exists; truth doesn't find dependence within an individual. This should be a must for any college student attempting to understand how to evaluate ideas. Quite simply, it's the best logic text I have ever read.

Summary: Great book
Comment: A friend at college introduced me to this gem. I have read parts of this book over a dozen times, particularly the discussions of fallacies and values. If I had Bill Gates' money, I would buy 200 million copies of this book and mail one to every English speaking household in the world. I'd send copies via certified mail to Rush Limbaugh, Carl Rowan, Geraldo, Noam Chomsky, Walter Williams, William Bennett, Bill Gates and the rest of the media royalty just to make sure. If you don't know what "inadequate decomposition" means, read this book. You should know.

Summary: This is by far the best book I have ever read.
Comment: Hard thinking makes practical logic understandable without being oversimplistic. It covers more ground than most logic texts, including considerable coverage of reasoning about values. It also covers psychological/logical areas such as cognitive disonance. This book is worth more than every book on the best seller lists combined.
