Reviews"The only unfortunate thing about this book is that, when I greatly needed a text to introduce a particularly anxious class of students to critical thinking, David Morrow had not yet written it! Giving Reasons simplifies the intimidating terms students most fear, provides engaging exercises, and uses modern examples that are both rigorous and relevant. The words "extremely short" should also get (and keep) the attention of those hard-to-reach Millenials." --Heather Rainey, Florida State College at Jacksonville, "David Morrow has returned to Aristotle's concept of rhetoric in this book. If you want students to understand the intricacies of finely crafted arguments, you can't do better than this." --John Strauch, Illinois Central College, "David Morrow's Giving Reasons is concise, lively, and accessible. Covering the essentials of critical thinking in clear, non-technical language, the book will be a welcome addition to introductory college courses as well as high school classes in any discipline. Giving Reasons is an excellent tool for teaching critical thinking across the curriculum." --Stephen Beck, The Evergreen State College, "The only unfortunate thing about this book is that, when I greatly needed a text to introduce a particularly anxious class of students to critical thinking, David Morrow had not yet written it! Giving Reasons simplifies the intimidating terms students most fear, provides engaging exercises, and uses modern examples that are both rigorous and relevant. The words "extremely short" should also get (and keep) the attention of those hard-to-reach Millenials." --Heather Rainey, Florida State College at Jacksonville
