Develops logical thinking for superior reading comprehension and test success Critical Thinking teaches students to think logically, present well-developed arguments, and see through unsupported arguments. Book Two builds on the skills developed in Book One, teaching more advanced concepts. Easy-to-understand explanations of concepts are followed by examples and real-life, often humorous, discussion problems. Students learn to identify valid and invalid claims and arguments, sufficient and insufficient evidence, fact and opinion, generalizations, emotional arguments, inferences, deductions, and more. No previous background in logic is required to teach these activities. Grades 10-12.
This book really makes you think. It is well written and takes complex issues and makes them really understandable.
Thinking smart!

A continuation of the first book, Critical thinking 2 allows the reader to gain more useful skills. From examining how emtional words and phrases affect your judgement to the probabilty of truth and falsity, this book can really make one learn to examine issues better. I truly believe everyone who reads this book and the one before it can begin to see and read with a more critical eye. You can learn how advertisers, the media, politicians and others manipulate. Don't just buy it, truly use it to learn.
Critical Thinking Works Well.
