Ocena: 0 (0 głosów)

More than any other textbook, Moore and Parker's Critical Thinking has defined the structure and content of the critical thinking course at colleges and universities across the country--and has done so with a witty writing style that students enjoy. Now in full-color, the eighth edition brings the concepts of critical thinking to life in vivid detail, with current examples relevant to today's students.New discussions accompany the images included in the text (more than 130 overall, now grouped into four distinct categories), clarifying their relevance to the topics addressed. Additional images available in Appendix 1 invite further analysis and can serve as prompts for critical writing assignments. A completely overhauled Chapter 1 offers a clearer definition of critical thinking and a more in-depth exploration of the nature of arguments. Additional exercises that stimulate critical thinking and understanding now appear on the text's companion Online Learning Center. In addition, all of the study material previously provided on the "Making the Grade" CD-ROM is now integrated here.
