The Fallacy Detective

by Nathaniel Bluedorn and Hans Bluedorn

100 Top Picks Selection!

The Fallacy Detective is now available in an updated 2009 edition. I loved the first edition, but this one is even better. Written for junior and senior high students, this is a great introduction to logical fallacies. Cartoon and comic illustrations, humorous examples, and a very reader-friendly writing style make this the sort of course students will enjoy.

Thirty eight lessons are each followed by questions that can be used for discussion or written assignments, but I would really recommend gathering at least two students to have fun working through the lessons together.
