<p>This fifth edition of <em>Critical Thinking</em> by the noted logician Richard L.&nbsp;Epstein is practical, engaging, and easy to teach.&nbsp; Students enjoy and&nbsp;understand it because it is clear and has hundreds of examples using a&nbsp;cast of characters who reason as we do every day.&nbsp; More than 1,000&nbsp;exercises lead students to be able to reason well in their courses and&nbsp;their lives.&nbsp; Essay writing lessons and visual writing lessons, using&nbsp;the cast of characters, teach students that first comes clear thinking&nbsp;and then comes clear writing.&nbsp; A complete and comprehensive Instructor&rsquo;s&nbsp;Manual makes the text easy to teach and grade.&nbsp; New to this edition:&nbsp;chapters on explanations and reasoning in the sciences.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Also from the Advanced Reasoning Forum:&nbsp; <em>An Introduction to Formal&nbsp;Logic</em> and <em>The Pocket Guide to Critical Thinking</em>.</p>
