From the Publisher:

“A wonderful work that shows how reasoning is challenging, yet engaging, rewarding and fun. Because reasoning involves people, it is an art as well as a science. And to remind ourselves just why it’s not always easy to mix the two, we owe a cheerful salute to Nobel prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann who observed: ‘Think how hard physics would be if particles could think.’”
—Dr. William A. McEachern, author, award-winning teacher, and founding editor of The Teaching Economist

From the Author:

"The mind is a parachute that has to be opened to be of any use." This book -- a winner at the International Book Awards and gold medal winner at the President's Book Awards -- is suitable for high school, community college, or university students, as well as any individual wanting to improve his or her core essential reasoning and thinking skills.
