Breve introducción al arte de escribir y evaluar argumentos. ( )

Anthony Weston created an indispensable handbook here. It's small, easy to carry, easy to read, and is incredibly useful as a resource to help one hone his or her skills in analyzing the logic of arguments. I strongly recommend keeping a copy of 'A Rulebook for Arguments' around and handy, it could be more frequently useful than one might imagine. Now, to be clear, Weston doesn't go much into giving a list of fallacies. Rather, he delves into structure of arguments and the ways to scrutinize their logic. It is a book of vital lessons in logic.

Given the breath of the information, page for page, this book is a high-value item, especially considering it also offers a synopsis on some of the more common fallacies employed by people.

Some additional of the elements discussed in the book are generalizations, sources, deductive arguments, oral arguments, argumentative essays, arguments by analogy, and more.
