Description

This new edition of Straight and Crooked Thinking demonstrates how clear, rational thinking and logic can win any argument. It reveals the typical flaws in reasoning and shows how language can be used to deceive - and how to avoid being deceived.

By learning what is 'straight', rational language, and clear thought, you can disentangle emotionally charged rhetoric and hold your own in any argument or debate, no matter how challenging. Written nearly 80 years ago, this book proves that certain principles remain relevant; it has helped many thousands over the decades to cope with media spin and distorted reasoning.

Now, it will do the same for you, providing timeless guidance on how to think critically and argue effectively in any situation.
