Great to know the Latin terms

Most logical fallacies are trivial and you would think you can spot them when some one commits them in the real world. However, this book introduces the latin terms behind each logical fallacy that you should memorize. It may make you sound more professional if you can quickly rattle off the logical fallacy that applies to your opponent's argument :-))

A great reference

This book is a concise and inclusive reference to logical fallacies. I enjoyed hearing the book to learn about these fallacies as I also enjoyed mapping these fallacies to arguments people (including I) unrepentingly and unrelentingly pitch at each other. I feel much reassured having acquired a basic but formal understanding of these fallacies. The book helps in dissecting and understanding fallacies in helping spot these in conversation or print and, hopefully, take a more rational stand leading to a conscious practice of trying to tackle and thus eliminate the ill effects fallacies have on our conclusions and decisions. Great toolset to have, indeed!
