From the Back Cover
With a new pair of authors dedicated to transforming college readers into critical readers and critical thinkers about contemporary issues, the sweeping revision of Critical Reading, Critical Thinking perfectly aligned with the needs and interest of twenty-first-century students.
The third edition holds true to the highly esteemed undertakings of previous editions. Students’ fundamental reading skills are first reinforced, and they are then presented with high-interest issues surrounded by thought-provoking exercises and activities to expand their reading, thinking, writing, and oral communication.
Newly added features to the third edition include:
- New, completely current issues-based readings chosen for today’s students appeal to their interests and relate to their “world.”
- Fresh exercises and activities do more to develop students’ comprehension and thinking.
- Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) exercises get students actively involved in the critical thinking process by having them solve a crime mystery.
- Web Site Investigation (WSI) activities and exercises in each chapter direct students to use the Internet to explore and investigate concepts and issues concerning the topic(s) in the chapter.
MyReadingLab
The third edition of Critical Reading, Critical Thinking has been integrated with MyReadingLab with icons and references directing students to the diagnostics, practice, tests, and reporting on reading skills and reading levels in MyReadingLab.
Benefits of MyReadingLab include:
- Reading skill practice and assessment with Reading Road Trip, the best selling reading skill tutorial. Reading Road Trip has been thoroughly revised and redesigned with stronger exercises, a new mastery-based format, open-ended questions, and the instructor’s ability to reorganize the arrangement of topics.
- Reading comprehension practice and assessment using the newly added Lexile system developed by MetaMetrics. Students’ reading ability (Lexile measure) is initially determined via a diagnostic, and, using a sophisticated framework of modified Cloze-tests and scoring algorithms, is re-assessed as students work through reading sets. Both students and instructors are thus given quantifiable data to measure reading level advancement.
- Personalized study plans to guide students to reading success.
- Comprehensive assessment of coursework and progress tracking in the grade book.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
