Ali Almossawi takes a different approach by using illustrated animals to represent the different types of logical fallacies. A stuffy walrus represents ad hominem attacks and a toucan represents straw man fallacy. The accompanying text explains each logical fallacy. The illustrations by Alejandro Giraldo are both fun and provide a proper visual representation of each fallacy&#8217;s short coming.This book is effective in its simple explanation. And it is great for both those new to this topic and anyone in need of a refresher on the topic. Read this book if you would like to gain a better understanding of how to have a reasoned and rational argument. <\/p>\n<p>You can read more about Ali Almossawi on his <a href=\"http:\/\/almossawi.com\/\">website<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An illustrated book of bad arguments by Ali Almossawi BC177 .A46 2014 New Arrivals, 2nd floor The explanation of logical fallacies often involves a critical reading of philosophy to reach an understanding.
