  • Contains numerous exercises and a corresponding answer key
  • An extensive appendix allows readers to explore subjects that go beyond what is usually covered in an introductory logic course
  • Updated edition includes over a dozen new problem sets and revisions throughout
  • Features an accompanying website at http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/~logic/MeaningArgument.html
