New Features
The text is restructured into three units: Acquiring Critical Thinking Skills (fundamentals), Going Out Into the World (applications), and The Logic Connection (inductive and deductive reasoning). This organization makes it easier for instructors to use a modular approach or draw from different chapters.
Three new chapters: one on applying critical thinking skills to social, ethical, and legal issues; one on the news media; and one on Internet research and web analysis.
All chapters have been updated and expanded throughout, including the addition of new applications, exercises, case studies, and readings.
Exercises and readings focus on interesting and relevant current events, including the terrorist attacks on New York and the Pentagon, the use of DNA dragnets in solving crimes, and the role of media in a democracy. Global issues are also included to help students understand the importance of different perspectives.
