“Deftly organized into two major sections, Donald Karshner’s Be a Critical Thinker is itself a model of rational thought and highly recommended and instructive. Thoroughly ‘reader friendly’ in style and presentation, Be a Critical Thinker would make an excellent high school or college curriculum textbook supplement for Philosophy or Political Science classes. Very highly recommended for community and academic library collections.”
– The Midwest Book Review, Small Press Bookwatch
