For a history of philosophy, I'll second the comments on Will Durant and Bertrand Russell's books. Also, Richard Tarnas, The Passion of the Western Mind, is a little more modern style and covers more of the 20th century.

For introductions to logic, Kant is pretty advanced. I'd start with Anthony Weston's Rulebook for Arguments for a short but fairly comprehensive explanation of the basics. For more formal logical analysis, I like Howard Pospesel's cartoon-driven explanations and exercises: Predicate Logic and Propositional Logic.
