Critical Thinking begins by listening and we began THiNK by listening to and observing students and instructors. McGraw-Hill conducted extensive research to gain insight into students' studying and buying behavior, as well as instructor challenges. Students told us they wanted more portable texts with innovative visual appeal and content that is designed according to the way they learn. Instructors told us they wanted a way to engage their students without compromising on high quality content. THiNK is critical thinking come to life. This innovative text provides instructors with scholarly yet succinct content on critical thinking and logical argumentation in a format that captivates students. With current examples, exercises, and applications, and powerful pedagogy that links concepts within and between chapters, THiNK directs students to make connections between skill development and application to their college studies, careers, and personal lives. Imagine a class where students are actively and personally engaged in thinking critically while also discovering how to apply those thinking skills in everyday life. Now imagine those same students confidently participating in class, working efficiently through the exercises outside class, and performing better in the course. With Connect Critical Thinking, students can achieve this success. Connect Critical Thinking is a first: a learning program with pedagogical tools that are anchored in research on critical thinking. More current, more portable, more captivating, a rigorous and innovative research foundation, plus Connect Critical Thinking adds up to: more learning. When you meet students where they are, you can take them where you want them to be. Download latest books on mediafire and other links compilation Download THiNK

I used this textbook for my class last semester, and have decided to use it again. The main reason is that it includes nice things you don't usually find in critical thinking textbooks; data from psychology is one. The discussions regarding reason and emotion is more nuanced and helpful than the usual "Reason is good, emotion is bad" you find. Also discussions about the relationship between reason and faith is also more balanced than the usual blunt evidentialism in logic textbooks.
Drawbacks include:
1. The cover/style. Not only is it poor taste, it's also hypocritical (see other reviews --- they make the point well).
2. The textbook seems biased towards the left. The author gives the impression of being a feminist and a Buddhist with some leftist leanings (she seems to reject the Sanctity of Life principle, for example). Of course, this is neither bad nor good, but she writes in such a way as to make it seem that these controversial positions are actually what all critical thinkers should adopt. I get the sense that she thinks critical thinking doesn't help you so much in deciding whether to be a feminist or a progressive political activist, but how best to be a feminist or a progressive political activist. Example: She claims that a person needs emotional intelligence so she will not be hindered in her protests against torture and high civilian casualties in the Iraq War. Maybe so, but should one just assume that this is something to protest? Some might argue that civilian casualties, though unfortunate, are necessary for a greater good. The same might go for torture (example: someone might know information that would save millions, and the only way to get the information is through torture).
