Although the purpose of this book is entertainment, it also includes a thorough discussion of the foundations of logic and the actual meanings of some common words.

Games are not difficult, you just need to understand the basic concepts and methods clearly. By the end of the book, you have skills on par with the best lawyers and law professors in the nation. Don't just get into law school, GET A FULL SCHOLARSHIP with a crushingly good logic games performance and LSAT score. Our students score above the 90th percentile, and that is why they get scholarships, excel at law school, graduate with honors and land great jobs after graduation. You have heard the stories about all of the people graduating from law schools and then being unemployed. The reason is that most of these students are learning from commercial companies and books that are NOT teaching them how to be great legal minds. They are trying to "just get in," and that is what all of the other books and companies are giving them. We will teach you how to get into law school with better skills than over 90-95% of the competition, how to use it in law school and how to be the BEST. "Good" = unemployed, mediocre waiter with a law degree. "Excellent" = top-of-your-class excellence, great job after graduation and NO loans for your law degree. With this text, you will learn all of the logic you need for the LSAT as well as every technique, method and trick for crushing the games section. Others will teach you incomplete methods, incomplete logic and an approach to games that completely miss the point of the LSAT. We show you HOW IT ALL APPLIES TO LAW SCHOOL AND THE PRACTICE OF LAW. Our methods are 100% relevant, simple, clear and effective.

Recognize the Patterns The LSAT is an exam which is full of patterns. Because of this, using previously-administered LSATs is indisputably the most effective way to prepare for the test. Logic Games in particular highlight the formulaic nature of the Law School Admission Test. In order to maximize your potential on this section, it is important that you learn to recognize these patterns and exploit them to the fullest extent. In this volume, Cambridge LSAT groups the eighty Logic Games from PrepTests 41-60 by type. Our groupings were designed with simplicity in mind, so that you can focus on mastering the various game types without worrying about complex taxonomy.

Mastery Through Repetition Some people assume that completing individual LSAT Logic Games more than once is a waste of time, since test takers only have one chance to complete any particular game on test day. However, the skills developed in preparing for this section of the test are quite responsive to repetition. There are frequently more elegant ways to approach each game, and by completing games more than once, you can be sure to derive the maximum cranial muscle memory from the problem-solving process. The average Logic Games book ignores this fact, and presents individual games only once. In this volume, Cambridge LSAT presents each of the Analytical Reasoning problem sets from PrepTests 1-20 three times. Thus, you can easily repeat games and glean additional value from them. Forget about cutting pages out of books and spending time and money making copies. Now you can have your repetition practice in one place, and easily "replay" a game when sufficient time has elapsed since your previous attempt. Use the enclosed games to practice and cement the concepts and techniques of the Logic Games guide of your choosing. Includes o Introduction o Part 1: First Attempt o Part 2: Second Attempt o Part 3: Third Attempt o Answer Key o Performance Tracker o Index o Appendix: PrepTest to Test Date Conversion Chart

These logic puzzles bring a new element to the table: the super-hot game of poker. Each question tests your reasoning on questions with a poker setting--for example, try to figure out which person has a better hand using your powers of deduction. It's a sure winner.

“One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University
