Sherri L. Jackson
Wadsworth Publishing, 2008
MUST HAVE TEXTBOOK!!!
For many college students, statistical collection, analysis, and writing a data-driven report can seem to be an overwhelming task. Professors often gloss over critical points and dance through a statistics curriculum as if students actually understand or follow what is being said. Statistics can be one of the hardest courses in the curriculum if you aren't armed with the right textbook. This ...

Excellent Book
Great book that gives very good advice for thinking critically while reading and writing. A big portion of the book is reprints of articles used as examples, but these reprints are good to read as exercises.

bell hooks at it again
bell hooks has done it again. I love all of her work. This collection of short essays deals with many relevant topics of interest to the educational community at all levels. She does borrow some of her ideas from her other texts, but this is still a stimulating, thought-provoking read. I LOVE IT!!!!

Brooke Noel Moore, Richard Parker

Excellent and entertaining textbook
We are using this textbook for my critical thinking course. It does an excellent job of making informal logic interesting. Even when you are reading about things you already know, Moore and Parker make it a fun read by adding in plenty of real-life examples. The exercises for each chapter are tedious but straightforward and effective -- they require a lot of time to complete but I always have ...

Complex issues in behavioral science are presented in a clear, almost conversational manner, through discussion of apt examples like MPD and false memories, Clever Hans, crop circles, claims of alien abductions, conspiracy theories, and homeopathic medicine.

I use this to help teach software testers.
I teach software testers how to explore and analyze products. I recommend this book to all my students. I found it entertaining and insightful. But, the main thing I like about the book is that it's set up so that every chapter is a standalone tool for analysis. You can read and use one chapter without having to read any of the others. I collect books on critical thinking, and this is the ...
