Thinking's comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach encourages a more complete and practical treatment for the student of how to think logically, critically, creatively, and persuasively.The authors wrote this book to give teachers and students a friendlier, more comprehensive, more systematic, more interdisciplinary, and thus a more effective text than any on the market.
