Synopsis

The Thinking Toolbox has been the best selling text for teaching critical thinking skills and introduction to logic for over 15 years.

"The Bluedorns have certainly achieved their goal of creating a logic textbook that is neither boring nor distant, but rather informative, approachable, enjoyable, and valuable." - Jordan J. Ballor at the Acton Institute --Acton Institute web site

"I think the best part of The Thinking Toolbox would be the examples because they are hilarious. . . . I would highly recommend this book. It's useful and great comedy at the same time." Sarah (age 11) --student

This book is like a toolbox, full of different kinds of tools you can use for different thinking tasks. Just as you use the wrench in a regular tool box to fix the sink, so you can use the tools we give you in this book to solve thinking problems.

- When it is dumb to argue

- Using the scientific method

- Five rules of brainstorming

- Who has a reason to lie?

- How to analyze opposing viewpoints

- How to analyze evidence and sources

- How to list reasons why you believe something

- And much more

We wrote this book for children and adults who want to learn logic and critical thinking skills. The Thinking Toolbox follows the same style as The Fallacy Detective with lessons and exercises and an answer key in the back. Parents and teachers, as well as anybody who wants to learn logic, will find The Thinking Toolbox easy to use and practical.

Features:

- Fun to use not dry like a math textbook

- Can be used after The Fallacy Detective

- Introductory teaches skills you can use right away
