Summary: "Critical thinking is aimed at making wise decisions about what to think and do. This book is not about critical thinking as much as it is a book in critical thinking. We try to provide guided practice in what we think are the most important critical thinking skill sets. Important revisions in this edition are aimed at improving information-acquisition skills, and these revisions are found in Chapter 4 (Credibility). This chapter is about recognizing dubious claims and sources. Another important batch of changes in this edition relates to inductive reasoning, which is introduced in Chapter 2 and examined in more detail in Chapter 11"--
