"This comprehensive book reviews current literature and research on critical thinking and reasoning. It includes chapters on theory, development, teaching and assessment and it is the first critical thinking book that focuses on all four areas." "The book is interactive as there is a discussant who provides commentaries to the author(s). The discussants look at the differences in each author's contribution and integrates it with input from their own research and work."--BOOK JACKET.
