Errors and typos in the 2011 print edition of the book:

  1. Page 30 - 3.6 (a) "simplify" rather than "simply".
  2. Page 44 last but one paragraph - "depends on" rather than "depends".
  3. Page 71 - In the second argument example, "premise" and "conclusion" are the wrong way round. Should be "The first sentence is the conclusion and the second sentence is the premise."
  4. Page 84, line 6 - "we should try out best". Should be "our".
  5. Page 84, line 7 - "anyone who disagree"
  6. Page 91, line 3 - "inductively strength". Should be "inductive".
  7. Page 98, 99 - There are grey patches on the argument map diagrams. The grey patch next to "correct" should actually be a tick symbol, and the one next to "wrong" should be a cross symbol.
  8. Page 100 - There are two horizontal lines in the argument map diagram above "ok" and "correct". Both should be the tick symbol.
  9. Page 187 first paragrah of section 20.2 "judgment is made" rather than "judgment in made".
  10. Page 210 last but one paragraph - "rationalization become" rather than "rationalization becomes".
  11. Page 188 - "South Dakota" should be "North Dakota" in the second bullet point.
  12. Page 203 - There are two grey patches in the SWOT analysis diagram. The left one should be a "thumbs up" picture. The right one should be a "thumbs down" symbol.
  13. Page 218 third line from the bottom - "to work on". missing "to".
Thanks to Daniel Hill and Jackey Cheung for identifying some of these errors.
