Life takes logic. Logic offers students a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the fundamentals of logical thinking. In addition to clear and detailed coverage of logic theory, author Stan Baronett emphasizes real-world applications of the principles of logic. Because of this dual focus€”on how to think logically as well as how to apply logic in everyday situations€”this text shows students how life takes logic. Author Stan Baronett employs a clear and accessible writing style in which he addresses the reader as if they are in one-on-one discussion. Throughout the text, Baronett anticipates, asks, and answers the questions that typically arise during discussion of each topic–leading readers to a deeper understanding of the material.

Review

Praise for LOGIC by Stan Baronett

 

“I would describe this book as the most student-friendly and instructor-friendly logic text that I have found.”

Stewart Clem, Oklahoma State University

 

“I really liked Baronett’s approach to logic. It seems very ‘modern’ and ‘hip’ yet instructive. This is a book that I think my students would really relate to with regard to tone, style and level of instruction.”

Emily Kulbacki, Green River Community College

 

“It has some of the best writing of any introductory logic book I have encountered.”

Bernard Jackson, Washington and Lee University

 

“A long-awaited fresh approach to teaching Logic.”

Courtney Hammond, Cuyamaca College

 

“I think that this book is pedagogically excellent. Baronett’s examples are much more likely to engage the interest of the student than are examples in most elementary logic texts.  He also has numerous touches of humor in the exercises, and this will keep both student and teacher engaged.”

Val Dusek, University of New Hampshire

 

“This book is a good read for a logic text.  It offers an exceptional focus on the relationship of logic and truth and sustains a similar focus throughout the chapters.  Organization definitely serves this central story, which is engagingly told with clear narration and the aid of very helpful diagrams.  Amid myriad introductory logic books, this one actually looks to do the subject a new and fresh turn.”

Ron Jackson, Clayton State University

 

“The text is user-friendly. It is very methodical and addresses a major difficulty students have in introductory logic courses, namely, their difficulty in building upon what they have previously learned in the course.”

David O'Connor, Seton Hall University

 

“Baronett’s clear prose and careful examples recommend this text.  Students should be able to extract a lot of meaning from the text and instructors should be able to facilitate their learning without losing time in class on remedial issues.”

Gerald Mozur, Lewis & Clark Community College

 

“Baronett’s Logic covers traditional subject matter in an uncluttered, innovative, way..... his approach will be successful because he addresses the difficulties students tend to have learning this subject –in the order in which they experience them.”

Jayne Tristan, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
