The Power of Logical Thinking: Easy Lessons in the Art of Reasoning by Marilyn vos Savant published by St. Martin's Griffin

America has become a society devoid of any clear understanding of the power of logic and numbers. All too often we rely on our intuition or on statistics thrown at us in newspapers. As a result of inadequate schools and handy calculators and computers, Americans have become a people frightened by numbers and unable to make logical decisions that can and do affect their lives. In The Power Of Logical Thinking, Marilyn vos Savant (the popular Parade columnist) has written a classic and enduring work that will help restore our ability to reason, to use logic in everyday life, and to interpret what the numbers really mean. Vos Savant examines puzzles and paradoxes that confront us daily, and demonstrates how statistics are often used against us by government officials, political partisans, cultural demonizers, and religious demagogues. And, in the final and most controversial section of this groundbreaking volume, vos Savant analyzes the use of misleading statistics in the 1992 presidential race, so we can be on the lookout during future elections. The most provocative book about numbers in recent memory, The Power Of Logical Thinking shows us how we can take control of our own numerical destiny in the years to come -- and I don't mean numerology! The Power Of Logical Thinking is highly rewarding reading for freethinkers of all political shades as it shares the hard facts about what havoc the absence of logical thought can wreck in our lives and the well-being of our communities.
