In\u003ci\u003e The Art of Logic in an Illogical World, \u003c\/i\u003eEugenia Cheng throws a lifeline to readers drowning in the illogic of contemporary life. Cheng is a mathematician, so she knows how to make an airtight argument. But even for her, logic sometimes falls prey to emotion, which is why she still fears flying and eats more cookies than she should. If a mathematician can't be logical, what are we to do? In this book, Cheng reveals the inner workings and limitations of logic, and explains why alogic -- for example, emotion -- is vital to how we think and communicate. Cheng shows us how to use logic and alogic together to navigate a world awash in bigotry, mansplaining, and manipulative memes. Insightful, useful, and funny, this essential book is for anyone who wants to think more clearly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eugenia Cheng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541672488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541672482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2018 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2019","brand":"Eugenia Cheng","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048213999871,"sku":"9781541672482","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdc14ecd-0b34-4142-be68-c30bffbb917b.jpg?v=1684994526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-logic-in-eugenia-cheng-9781541672482","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
