THINKING CRITICALLY 6th Edition
Houghton Mifflin Co., 2000

Thinking Critically teaches the fundamental thinking, reasoning, reading, and writing skills that students need to succeed in any course. The text begins with basic skills and then progresses to the more sophisticated reasoning skills necessary for abstract, academic contexts. The text's flexible organization allows instructors to select the chapters appropriate for their class, sequence the chapters as required, and supplement the chapters with material from their own disciplines. Abundant visual aids include line drawings, advertisements, cartoons, photos, and chapter-opening cognitive maps that illustrate the central concepts of each chapter.

This book's goal is to help students develop complex thinking and writing abilities by having them complete writing assignments and critically evaluate challenging readings drawn from various disciplines and social debate.
