Product Description
Review
"What I like perhaps most about Hurley's text is the organization of the material. His book introduces the material in step-by-step way building off of what was just learned the section before and adding just enough information to each section to simplify the whole process of learning logic." - David Weise, Gonzaga University
"This is the "gold standard" of introductory logic texts." - Frank Ryan, Kent State University
"It is the clearest text, with the best technology available." - Stephanie Semler, Radford University
"Hurley's text provides a methodical introduction to the strategies and techniques usually covered in an introductory logic course, including both formal and informal topics. Numerous exercises provide plenty of opportunity for students to practice the skills they have learned." - Allyson Mount, Keene State College
"Hurley's book is thorough and very accessible to instructors and students. One of the best logic texts on the market." - Paula Smithka, University of Southern Mississippi --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

College Student,
By
This review is from: A Concise Introduction to Logic (Hardcover)
I found this text very helpful. It is a good book for a quick introduction to logic and the examples and questions along with the CD-Rom provide additional support in the understanding of the text. Even though this book was assigned as a required text for the class, I recommend it for anyone who wants to gain some knowledge on logic reasoning.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for Academic instruction,
This review is from: A Concise Introduction to Logic (Textbook Binding)
First, I am familar with the 6th edition, so my comments concern that edition. I have both learned from (as a student) and taught from (as an instructor) this book. The book's strength is in formal or deductive logic and not informal or inductive logic. (Although it covers inductive logic and critical thinking). This book should not be used by someone who is looking just to argue better, but is much more suited to an academic setting at the level of a senior in high school or college freshman/sophmore. I am not saying that it is a hard read or too technical, as a matter of fact, it is quite basic, but it is too dry for the average reader and you would simply not pick up the information from simply reading it; you would have to work the problems and interact with others who are also reading the book.

Good study for the fun of it.,

This review is from: A Concise Introduction to Logic (Textbook Binding)
Being more familiar with Hurley's FOURTH EDITION, I will relegate my comments to such. This introductory text delivers a formidable subject in an easy-to-ingest manner. His explanations are easy enough for the novice while strong enough to remain a decent reference work for he who only occasionally must call back to to a definition of some fallacy or another.
