Offers students a concise introduction to the study of critical thinking. It should be of interest for those taking courses in philosophy, ancient history or sociology. Such courses centre on logical arguments in everyday langauge rather than symbolic logic and the author presents examples from situations that students are most likely to encounter. Key terms, rules and concepts are clearly set out, together with many exercises.

This guide to critical thinking is a great introduction to informal logic. It is set out in such a manner that allows clear focused reading, and uses some very imaginative and thought provoking examples of arguments to keep you interested. Furthermore, the small text boxes on each page that offer a breif summary of main points are very useful for note-taking. This book has really helped me to grasp the techniques of effective academic argument and has taught me skills that I find very easy apply, not only to recognise an effective argument, but skills that I can apply to my own academic writing.
