Synopsis
Focusing on the teaching of thinking through writing, the Seventh Edition of Mayfield's Thinking for Yourself provides students with new high-interest readings, cartoons, and Internet research exercises. Clarity of exposition, interesting (and provocative) readings, cartoons, and the application of acquired thinking skills in writing have remained hallmark features of the book. The edition has been upgraded to feature a two-color design and a new, robust web site.

Review
"I like this text because it sees students capable of learning, validates their learning. I like the grounding in observations skills, working with real subjects and with photos, the way in which they are shown that they can see more than they thought at the beginning. They learn that they can correct their own judgments, and that their own opinion can change. They learn that what is there is much more there than they had thought going in. They learn that critical thinking is a way of creating, not just a matter of putting down things you don't like."
