Peter M. Nardi's approach helps students sharpen their critical thinking skills and improve their analytical reasoning, enabling them to ward off gullibility, develop insightful skepticism, and ask the right questions about material online, in the mass media, or in scholarly publications. Students will learn to understand common errors in thinking; create reliable and valid research methodologies; understand social science concepts needed to make sense of popular and academic claims; and communicate, apply, and integrate the methods learned in both research and daily life. A companion website includes links to articles and books mentioned in the chapters, illustrative items, videos, and current news and research that elaborate on each chapter's key concepts. 606 $aCritical thinking 610 $aacademic. 610 $aanalysis. 610 $aanalytical reasoning. 610 $aasking questions. 610 $aclassroom. 610 $aclose reading. 610 $acollege. 610 $acritical thinking. 610 $ahigh school. 610 $akey concepts. 610 $amass media. 610 $amulti media. 610 $apractical. 610 $areading skills. 610 $aresearch methodologies. 610 $aresearch methods. 610 $aresearch skills. 610 $aresearch. 610 $ascholarly publications. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $askeptic. 610 $askepticism. 610 $asocial science. 610 $astudents. 610 $astudy skills. 610 $auniversity. 610 $auseful. 610 $avideos. 610 $awriting skills. 615 0$aCritical thinking. 676 $a160 700 $aNardi$b Peter M.$01028095 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825967503321 996 $aCritical Thinking$93913410 997 $aUNINA
