Review
"Baronett's commit[ted] to making logic more relevant and interesting without sacrificing academic integrity or content coverage. I think he has a solid approach. Baronett's text is a refreshing update to some of the often contrite and traditional approaches you find in the other leading industry texts. The author is more in-touch with students and their difficulties in understanding complex logical concepts." ―Alexander D. Miller, Piedmont Technical College
"It covers everything that most undergraduate level logic courses would need, with enough variety to be able to tailor the book to a number of different emphases. This book does a great job of providing ordinary language examples for students and of showing how logic is relevant to analyzing arguments and clarifying reasoning in real life." ―Alicia Hall, Mississippi State University
"The relevance aspect to daily life is vital to make a subject like logic come alive as something students are motivated to learn. The appeal to various learning styles is implicit in the text, and the latitude the book provides students and professors to delve as deeply as they want is refreshing. I also like the absence of polarizing material in the examples." ―Matthew Hallgarth, Tarleton State University
