Review
"It is hard to find a good critical thinking textbook that covers the material with insightful clarity, focused breadth, and up-to-date relevance. The Power of Critical Thinking does just that. A must-have for any critical thinking course."--Mark Balok, Yavapai College
"The Power of Critical Thinking is unique with its diverse collection of exercises--including field problems, writing exercises, and quizzes--which facilitate students' digestion of the material. I love the design. Both the photos and the art are helpful."--Stephen K. Ma, California State University, Los Angeles
"This book is very successful in its presentation of inference to the best explanation. It also does an excellent job of teaching writing skills along with critical thinking skills. I highly recommend this text for its engaging writing style, clear layout, and variety of possible in-class and online exercises and assignments."--Carol McGury, DePaul University
