[Lea]

Good little primer on critical thinking. It's meant for (university) students, but useful for anyone interesting in the principles.

[William Perham]

Very short and very effective

A very brief introduction to critical thinking theory. Well written and useful ideas on how to be a critical thinker. Also a useful guide for group learning.

[Jeff Tix]

A superb short guide for students and teachers alike. A great resource if critical thinking is a portion of your course. Inexpensive enough to pass out as a guide.

[Dan Brown]

Great foundation for making strong arguments.

[Stella]

Breve ed efficace, vocabolario un po' difficile

[Helen]

This book is designed for high-school or college students, as an introduction to critical thinking. It includes text, summaries, appendices of lists, and practical exercises for the class. Highly recommended for everyone over 15!

[Angie Mogilefsky]

Professional development.

[David Frey]

Very quick read on something I had never really read about before. Not much else to say on this one. My lack of expertise and knowledge on the idea of critical thinking and forming formal arguments holds me back on this one. Would re-read if the topic becomes of more interest to me.

Read for a class :p
