Beschreibung
Emotions are powerful. In newspaper headlines and on social media, they have become the primary way of understanding the world. But strong feelings make it more difficult to see the reality behind the rhetoric. This clear-sighted book cuts shows how using the techniques of mathematical logic can help us see things more clearly - and know when politicians and companies are trying to mislead us. An essential guide to decoding modern life.
