5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent and entertaining textbook,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Critical Thinking (Paperback)
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 a better understanding of the material after completing them. I would recommend this book for any informal logic course.

Very Helpful Introductory Text for Critical Thinking/English,
By Robert (SF Bay Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Critical Thinking (Paperback)
This was one of the books that I used for my Introduction to Logic class when I was in high school. Not only are the concepts explained clearly but they are layed out in a way that does not talk down to you. Its fun to read yet very practical in the sense that there are places where the author(s) correlate informal/formal logic concepts with the real world. One example shows how certain rules in Truth-Functional Logic relate to electrical circuits. In particular for AP English Students, this book can be a great complement to your other required texts. I recommend this to high school/college students, professionals, or enthusiasts who are seeking to better understand and improve their critical thinking skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent text,
By Anne "Beanie's aunt" (Chico, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Critical Thinking (Paperback)
Moore and Parker's book is the best text I've used for Logic and Critical Thinking. In fact, I've used it for all ten editions. I would not have stuck with a book that long if I didn't think it was the best. It's always current, the exercises are good and helpful, much of the book is amusing while still imparting critical information. I would recommend this for anyone.
