Rogers' book is filled with interesting and sometimes provocative illustrations of contempory issues where high-level critical thinking is needed. He includes examples of sound and unsound arguments so students can see the difference between good reasoning and bad. Critical Thinking: Understanding the Princiles and Precesses of Thinking Well is a book that will help students think more clearly, read more analytically, write more persuasively, and speak more convincingly.
