Reviews

Vaughn’s textbook is one of the most readable critical thinking textbooks. It is written for freshmen college students, even those who are not fully prepared for college-level work. The self-assessment, quizzes, and integrated exercises are among the best features of this ebook.” — Tobyn DeMarco, Bergen Community College

This is an excellent critical thinking ebook! I will likely adopt it for future classes. It is well written, appropriate, and engaging for undergraduates, and has a lot of good exercises, including real-world applications. In addition, the cost is much more affordable than competing textbooks, without compromising the content.” — Ken Hochstetter, College of Southern Nevada

The Power of Critical Thinking is a great textbook. Its strengths are its repetition of key ideas and the many real-world applications, like the connection between ESP and expectation. This textbook offers a taste of all areas of human reasoning in an accessible and intelligent manner. The fun information boxes will also keep college students interested.” — June Yang, Grossmont College
