      This brilliant book, now in its third edition, gives you the confidence to tell a good argument from a bad one. For everyone who wants to refine their powers of argument, Thinking from A to Z is an indispensable reference tool.

      What is ‘humpty-dumptying’? Do ‘arguments from analogy’ ever stand up? How do I know when someone is using ‘weasel words’? What’s the difference between a ‘red herring’ and a ‘straw man’?

      This superb book, now in its third edition, will help anyone who wants to argue well and think critically. Using witty and topical examples, this fully-updated edition includes many new entries and updates the whole text. New entries include:

      • Principle of Charity
      • Lawyer’s Answer
      • Least Worst Option
      • Poisoning the Well
      • Sentimentality
      • Sunk Cost Fallacy
      • Weasel Words
      • ‘You would say that wouldn’t you’.

      Thinking from A to Z may not help you win every argument, but it will definitely give you the power to tell a good one from a bad one.
