Synopsis: Uncover the truth under all the BSIn the daily battle for our hearts and minds--not to mention our hard-earned cash--the truth is usually the first casualty. Its time we learned how to see through the rhetoric, faulty reasoning, and misinformation that were subjected to from morning to night by talk-radio hosts, op-ed columnists, advertisers, self-help gurus, business thinkers, and, of course, politicians. And no one is better equipped to show us how than award-winning philosopher Jamie Whyte.InCrimes Against LogicWhyte take us on a fast-paced, ruthlessly funny romp through the mulligan stew of can, folderol, and bogus logic served up in the media, at the office, and even in your own home. Applying his laserlike wit to dozens of timely examples, Whyte cuts through the haze of facts, figures, and double-talk and gets at the real truth behind what theyre telling us.An incisive philosopher. --Sunday Telegraph
