For anyone needing to learn the basics of reasoning!

Very interesting text. It goes over a lot of points that you would think to be obvious, but while in a class of 30, it was discovered that not everyone looks at reasoning the same way (obviously). Very good book if you are looking to find the fallacies in your own reasoning or in another person. (Or, if you are trying to win your arguments!)
