Summary: The Operative Word is "developing" Thinking Skills
Review: An excellent book that covers such diverse subjects as critical thinking, observation skills, word usage, communication, facts and reality, inferences, assumptions, opinions, viewpoints, arguments, fallacies, inductive and deductive reasoning, research skills and problem solving. And within each subject is a very well defined and easily understood definition of that subject along with examples of each. The chapter quiz found at the end of each chapter helps to ingrain and reinforce the lesson. The book is insightful and well written. Done with great skill as one is actually able to understand the premise and meaning of each topic/lesson.

Summary: THINKING FOR YOURSELF... THE TEXTBOOK
Review: I always find it amazing and ironic that there are textbooks teaching you how to think for yourself.

A bit ironic, don't you think?
