An essential tool for our post-truth world: a witty primer on logic--and the dangers of illogical thinking--by a renowned Notre Dame professor Logic is synonymous with reason, judgment, sense, wisdom, and sanity. Being logical is the ability to create concise and reasoned arguments--arguments that build from given premises, using evidence, to a genuine conclusion. But mastering logical thinking also requires studying and understanding illogical thinking, both to sharpen one's own skills and to protect against incoherent, or deliberately misleading, reasoning. Elegant, pithy, and precise, Being Logical breaks logic down to its essentials through clear analysis, accessible examples, and focused insights. D. Q. McInerney covers the sources of illogical thinking, from na ve optimism to narrow-mindedness, before dissecting the various tactics--red herrings, diversions, and simplistic reasoning--the illogical use in place of effective reasoning. An indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life, this is a concise, crisply readable book. Written explicitly for the layperson, McInerny's Being Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White's The Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice. Praise for Being Logical "Highly readable . . . D. Q. McInerny offers an introduction to symbolic logic in plain English, so you can finally be clear on what is deductive reasoning and what is inductive. And you'll see how deductive arguments are constructed."--Detroit Free Press "McInerny's explanatory outline of sound thinking will be eminently beneficial to expository writers, debaters, and public speakers."--Booklist "Given the shortage of logical thinking,And the fact that mankind is adrift, if not sinking,
It is vital that all of us learn to think straight.
And this small book by D.Q. McInerny is great.
It follows therefore since we so badly need it,
Everybody should not only but it, but read it."
--Charles Osgood

Nice Quality Socks
Color: Coyote Brown, 3 Pack, Size: Large, Color: Coyote Brown, 3 Pack, Size: Large
Hate shopping for clothes online, even for socks. Looked at lots of different brands and settled on these due to their customer reviews which seemed positive. I ordered 2 of the 3 packs of the coyote brown in the large size. The color is pretty accurate to the advertisement. You can see my picture of the new sock unrolled straight out of the box alongside a tape measure that shows the length. The socks seem like they are very good quality. The aren't thin or see through like some of the cheaper options I considered. To me the are similar in thickness to a name brand white tube sock like Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. The large size is 18 1/2 inches long in it's natural shape and easily stretches over the calf but below the knee. I wanted to lighten the color to more closely match my work pants and tried washing them 5 times with bleach mixed in the washer. They held their color, and elasticity even with the bleach, so I didn't get the color change I was hoping for but goes to show that under normal washing (without bleach) the color won't likely fade anytime soon. The have great stretch and elasticity and stay up above the calf all day without sliding down. Definitely ordering these again when needed.

Good replacement for GI socks
Color: Green, 4 Pack, Size: Medium
I ordered these for my son, he’s in the military and the socks they issued him were all getting holes worn in the top of the toe area from his work boots. So I ordered him some of these to supplement his normal ones. He said they’re pretty comfortable, we’ll see how they hold up after he wears them for awhile. But initially I’d say they’re a good buy. Points for the affordability.
