Sweet reason. A field guide to modern logic (Q4935981)

This textbook presents a novel and well-written introduction to modern elementary logic. There is great effort to get the student ``involved in'' serious forms of reasoning; e.g., in the detection and identification of logical flaws. For anyone seriously interested in the limitations of reason, this book must be read! (For example, there are discussions of fine points of rabbinic logic and problems posed to the student in the Polish language.) To keep the student's attention, there is the Surprise Examination and even a warning that the Exam is impending. However, the Exam never seems to come about, only the warning comes! Overall, the book will be excellent for a second course in philosophical logic or for supplementary reading by advanced undergraduate students of logic, mathematics, or computer science. The book should be most valuable as the basis of a logic text in German. Of course one would want to change the political figures to others who are non-US.
