A good basic dictionary of philosophy is much better!

This is an excellent overview of logic components, providing detailed information without overwhelming the reader with overly specialized material. Highly recommended.

Covers the most frequent logical fallacies and has good verbal explanations. It is important to not just show them but also explain them. Could have covered more logical syllogisms and fallacies, but she covered the most frequently encountered fallacies. Great book.

Good book, useful to corporate life, you may refer to this at some conflict cases or simply reference it to win arguments.

To be an adroit rhetorician, you need to perceive and interpret logical fallacies and untruths in reasoning by mistake or intent. You can then proceed to avoid them yourself and can point them out in another person's argument. I have performed this in court when an arrogant lawyer for the plaintiff assume that we, the jury, were barely capable of tying out own shoes much less to see how condescending his argument and treatment of us was. He went on to demonizing the defendants adding straw man after straw man.
