Synopsis
First comes clear thinking, then comes clear writing. The extraordinarily clear explanations in the Pocket Guide to Critical Thinking provide the essential skills to reason better-for classwork, for writing, and for use in everyday life. The book employs an abundance of engaging examples from everyday life that illustrate how to analyze arguments and make better decisions. The Pocket Guide is both the perfect supplement for any course that requires critical thinking, from the sciences to the humanities, and a practical aid for self-study or a reference source in writing. This extensively revised fourth edition has over 150 new examples and a new chapter on evaluating risks. Buyers of this book also get free access to hundreds of additional examples and exercises as well as further material for the sciences on the Critical Thinking Web Exchange at the Advanced Reasoning Forum website.

paperback. Condition: Good. Raffi, Alex (illustrator). Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
