Synopsis
CRITICAL REASONING helps students to gain a firm grasp on the dynamics of critical reasoning in the context of real-world experiences and information. Via clear explanations and the application of various analytic techniques, the text skillfully presents the rudiments of logic without losing students in the explication of complex theories and provides a rich array of reading passages drawn from everyday sources, such as newspaper editorials and popular essays. The text culminates in a chapter on the challenges of being a consumer of information in our contemporary "world of experts."
