Note about Practice Exercises - The practice exercises were created to go with a previous edition of the book. Therefore, any references you see to section numbers, section titles, or page numbers may not correspond to the current text. In section 1A, the old book used a couple extra fallacies that the new edition does not use. Also, to use these exercises you'll need to download a plug-in. Details are on the pages to which the links take you.

Note about Excel Worksheets - Your computer may not be set up to open Excel files. If simply clicking on the file does not open it in Excel, then right click on the link and choose to save the file on your computer or on a disk. Then open up Excel, click on "File," click on "Open" and then go to wherever you saved the file to open it.
