Historia
This book is aimed at newcomers to the field of logical reasoning, particularly those who, to borrow a phrase from Pascal, are so made that they understand best through visuals. I have selected a small set of common errors in reasoning and visualized them using memorable illustrations that are supplemented with lots of examples. The hope is that the reader will learn from these pages some of the most common pitfalls in arguments and be able to identify and avoid them in practice. For the audiobook version, the illustrations have been replaced with short sketches, voiced in a variety of accents.

Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds provides a new and powerful treatment of these issues for high-school students, parents, teachers, pastors, youth advisers, and ordinary listeners. Johnson aims not just to defeat a bad theory, but to defeat it in the right way - by opening minds to the truth.

In the past, correct spelling, the multiplication tables, the names of the state capitals and the American presidents were basics that all children were taught in school. Today, many children graduate without this essential knowledge. Most curricula today follow a haphazard sampling of topics with a focus on political correctness instead of teaching students how to study.

What does it mean when a fictional hero takes a journey? Shares a meal? Gets drenched in a sudden rain shower? Often, there is much more going on in a novel or poem than is readily visible on the surface - a symbol, maybe, that remains elusive, or an unexpected twist on a character - and there's that sneaking suspicion that the deeper meaning of a literary text keeps escaping you. In this practical and amusing guide to literature, Thomas C. Foster shows how easy and gratifying it is to unlock those hidden truths.

One day, 14-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find two notes in her mailbox, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl.

We may not realize it, but children are hyperaware of money. They have scores of questions about its nuances that parents often don't answer, or know how to answer well. But for Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids much more often. When parents avoid these conversations, they lose a tremendous opportunity—not just to model important financial behaviors, but also to imprint lessons about what their family cares about most.

Historia
Understanding the urgent need for a deeply thoughtful, balanced book to explain our national political process, Dave Barry has not even come close. Though he himself has covered many campaigns, run for president several times, and run for cover at the rainy inauguration of George W. Bush (the man will spare nothing for his art), Barry has instead outdone himself.

Free speech is the bedrock of all our liberties, and yet in recent years, it has come to be mistrusted. A new form of social justice activism, which perceives language as potentially violent, has prompted a national debate on where the limitations of acceptable speech should be drawn. Governments throughout Europe have enacted 'hate speech' legislation to curb the dissemination of objectionable ideas, Silicon Valley tech giants are collaborating to ensure that they control the limitations of public discourse, and campaigners in the US are calling for revisions to the First Amendment.

This book is aimed at newcomers to the field of logical reasoning, particularly those who, to borrow a phrase from Pascal, are so made that they understand best through visuals. I have selected a small set of common errors in reasoning and visualized them using memorable illustrations that are supplemented with lots of examples. The hope is that the reader will learn from these pages some of the most common pitfalls in arguments and be able to identify and avoid them in practice. For the audiobook version, the illustrations have been replaced with short sketches, voiced in a variety of accents.

A timeless tale retold by Milton, Dryden, Tennyson, and writers before and since, the Arthurian legend has metamorphosed from medieval Welsh texts to the French vernacular romances of Chrétien de Troyes; from obscure histories of a British chieftain of the fifth or sixth century, to a chronicle of the advent of Christendom in the British Isles.

In today's fast world, it's important to have certain skills for success. With so much fake news and information everywhere, critical thinking and logic are crucial. These skills help us think well and make good decisions. They help us understand why things are how they are, figure out what influences them, and come up with ways to make things better. One of the reasons most of us fall short in thinking critically is that our educational system doesn't teach critical thinking.

Catherine's mother had died of fever four years before, and now Catherine performed the duties of housewife and mother, living contentedly with her father and younger sister, Matty, on their New Hampshire farm. In spite of the daily hardships, Catherine had much to be thankful for, especially for Cassie, her dearest friend.

I screened this book for future use with our 4 kids (homeschooling). I found the audio book to be easy to follow/listen to. When the time comes, I’ll be getting the paper copy so the worksheet/examples/application section will be more useful.

Easy Education
This is a great logic resource, the lessons are easy to understand and full of humour, as are the examples of how various fallacies are frequently used in places like advertising and politics. Lots of appeal for students in their teens, but also helpful as an adult to become more familiar with the propaganda or marketing ploys I’m likely to be taken in by.
Highly recommend.

The Fallacy Detective
What a great blessing not only for us as adults, but my children are learning so much on how to spot bad logic in others and even more important in themselves. We like how Scripture is woven through-out. Highly advise to get a copy for us (adults) and for our children and teach it to them. Our kids love the part when they "SCREAM" RED HERRING!

This Is No Red Herring
My 10-year old enjoyed listening to this book, much to my surprise and pleasure. The reader has a pleasant voice and makes the words easy to hear. The author makes the subject easy to understand. It has been enlightening to discuss the individual lessons with my 10-year old: he understands some of the examples that I don’t!! The Audible App format makes it easy to rewind so one can listen to explanations and examples more than once when needed. I haven’t yet tried listening to and reading the physical book—I am looking forward to trying that.

A favorite among students
My students look forward to this every week. The book is written in a engaging and humorous way making it hard to just cover a couple of chapters at a time. You'll find yourself not wanting to put it down. It's not long and you'll see your students picking out the different fallacies they hear in the news or in ads.

Educational and fun
This book is a great introduction to logic, using easy-to-understand and funny examples. My original goal in learning about fallacies was to be able to spot inconsistencies in real life. Whenever I listened in the car, to my surprise, even my 4th graders would pay attention and eagerly join in trying to answer the questions at the end of each chapter. It was my children's idea to make up fallacies for each other to analyze. We shared a lot of laughs and learned so much in the process. The narrator of the audiobook was easy to understand and did a great job with voices. Each chapter is short and easy to digest. I'm so glad we have this resource!

Amazing audio!
*I got this book for free in order to do a review for it.*
I have the ebook version and I learned a lot from it, but the audiobook takes learning to another level! I got very excited when they posted a snippet of the recording process and it looks promising and, actually, it’s a delight to listen to!
The reader has a British accent which gives a Sherlockian flavor to the book, then when it’s time to do the exercises, it gives you time to think and answer. Very challenging when you have to think quick before the answer comes up! It’s a good book to listen to while driving as it will distract you from long hours but it’ll keep your mind running and focused.
These guys did a tremendous work and I recommend this audiobook 1,000%
Job well done!!!
