Attacking Faulty Reasoning Summary

In the name of Allah, , the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Here, I present my summary of "Attacking Faulty Reasoning" written by T. Edward Damer. I read this book half year ago and it was fascinating and informative. It began with a comprehensive introduction about the arguments and how they are distinguished from mere opinions. Damer explained very well the criteria to be met with for the argument to be acceptable.
As I completed the book, I made a personal summary of the book to review it since I do not possess the original book. Unfortunately, I couldn't complete that summary because I was in rush for travelling. After almost 6 months of leaving an uncompleted summary, I took the advantage of the holiday to complete the summary and publish it to be available to everyone. I have spent my very effort to do the task perfectly. Thanks to Allah, I succeeded. And here I present my outcome.
It's important to notice that the 2nd edition of the book, which I summarized, are not available on the Internet. However, I found that the 6th edition is available on the Internet albeit not legal.
To get straight to the point, here are the summary and the 6th edition as well.
