Nonsense

By Robert J. Gula

Nonsense is the best compilation and study of verbal logical fallacies available anywhere. It is a handbook of the ways people deceive themselves and others, and offers a complete course in everyday logic, a form of thinking that most human beings value but often horrendously abuse.
