Description
This highly popular course helps professionals to bridge the gap between simply memorizing or blindly accepting information, and the greater challenge of critical analysis and synthesis. 

It teaches professionals to respond to alternative points of view and develop a solid foundation for making professional choices about what to accept and what to reject.

While the structure of this new edition remains the same, for the sake of currency and relevance about two-thirds of the practice passages are new, as well as many of the longer illustrations and the final critical thinking case. Also this eighth edition ahs been revised to emphasize the positive value of critical thinking a a means to autonomy, curiosity, reasonableness, openness, and better decisions.
