This book is part of a college course I am taking called “Thinking Critically”. All the readings in this book are interesting. It is a companion book to David Kelly’s book of the same title. Each reading has study questions that are thought provoking. I highly recommend the book to anyone who enjoys analyzing both sides of controversial issues.
