Reviews'Logic has all the qualities necessary for it to emerge quickly as one of the very front runners among introductory logic textbooks.' - John Divers, University of Sheffield, ' Logic is a pleasure to read: it is well organised and especially well written.' - James Page, The University of Kansas 'Paul Tomassi's book is the most accessible and user-friendly introduction to formal logic currently available to students. Semantic and syntactic approaches are nicely integrated and the organization is excellent, with later sections building systematically on earlier ones. Tomassi anticipates all the most important traps and confusions that students are likely to fall into and provides first-rate guidance on practical matters, such as strategies for proof-construction. Never intimidating, this is a text from which even the most unmathematically minded student can learn all the basics of elementary formal logic.' - Professor E.J. Lowe, University of Durham 'A superb and highly accessible introduction to formal logic that will surely come as a relief to new generations of students.' - Network 'I would recommend this book to any undergraduate student studying formal logic.' - Brendan Larvor, University of Hertfordshire
