Thinking from A to Z (3rd ed)

What is 'Humpty-Dumptying'? Do 'arguments from analogy' ever stand up? How do I know when someone is using 'Weasel words?' What is a 'Politician's answer?' What's the difference between a 'Red Herring' and a 'Straw Man?' This superb book, now in its third edition, will help anyone who wants to argue well and think critically.

Using witty and topical examples, this fully-updated new edition has many new entries including: Charity, principle of; Lawyer's Answer; Least Worst Option; Stonewalling; Sunk-Cost Fallacy; Tautology; Truism; Weasel Words; and 'You Would Say That Wouldn't You'. "Thinking From A to Z" may not help you win every argument, but it will definitely give you the power to tell a good one from a bad one.
