This text offers a balanced treatment of reasoning in ordinary language and formal techniques that enhance understanding of reasoning. The text begins with an extensive treatment of inductive reasoning that includes inductive generalizations and causal arguments. Since students are already familiar with these types of arguments in everyday life, they can appreciate the point of studying them in a systematic way. The text contains many timely features, lively and straightforward prose, and numerous examples and exercises drawn from many areas of knowledge. It combines a sensitive treatment of ordinary language arguments with a simple but rigorous exposition of basic principles of logic.

Signal to Depart

Arriving in Southwest New Mexico, itinerant bookman Jason Niles finds the town of Del Cobre almost too good to be true -- a community at ease with its modest size, rich in the heritage of an ancient culture, and uniquely in harmony with the natural world. It is an idyll that cannot last. The boomers think Del Cobre holds a different promise. And they have little sympathy for Mexican Black Hawks nesting on the edge of town, or the mysteries left behind by ancient artists. You can see it coming. And so can Jason. Inspired, and deluded, by the Ancients' lurid art, the books in which he trades, and the woman of his dreams, Jason sees an opportunity to make a difference. If he can pull it off, he can save remnants of a modern as well as an ancient culture, and even salvage something of himself.
