About the Author
Peter A. Facione, PhD, has dedicated himself to helping people build their critical thinking to become better problem solvers and decisions makers. He does this work not only to help individuals and groups achieve their own goals, but also for the sake of our freedom and democracy. Facione draws on experience as a teacher, consultant, business entrepreneur, university dean, grandfather, husband, musician, and sports enthusiast. Now he is taking his message about the importance of critical thinking directly to students through Think Critically.
“I’ve paid very close attention to the way people make decisions since I was 13 years old,” says Facione. “Some people were good at solving problems and making decisions; others were not. I have always felt driven to figure out how to tell which were which.” He says that this led him as an undergraduate and later as a professor to study psychology, philosophy, logic, statistics, and information systems as he searched for how our beliefs, values, thinking skills, and habits of mind connect with the decisions we make, particularly in contexts of risk and uncertainty.
A native Midwesterner, Facione earned his PhD in Philosophy from Michigan State University and his BA in Philosophy from Sacred Heart College in Detroit. He says, “Critical thinking has helped me be a better parent, citizen, leader, consultant, teacher, writer, coach, husband, and friend. It even helps a little when playing point guard!” In academia, Facione served as provost of Loyola University–Chicago, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Santa Clara University, and dean of the School of Human Development and Community Service at California State University–Fullerton. “As a dean and provost, I could easily see that critical thinking was alive and well in every professional field and academic discipline.”
Facione spearheaded the international study to define critical thinking, sponsored by the American Philosophical Association. His research formed the basis for numerous government policy studies about critical thinking in the workplace, including research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. Published by Insight Assessment, his tools for assessing reasoning are used around the world in educational, business, legal, military, and health sciences. Today, Peter operates his own business, Measured Reasons. He is senior level consultant, speaker, writer, and workshop presenter. His work focuses on strategic planning and leadership decision making, in addition to teaching and assessing critical thinking. With his wife, who is also his closest research colleague and co-author of many books and assessment tools, he now lives in sunny Los Angeles, which he says, “suits [him] just fine.” You can reach him at pfacione@measuredreasons.com.

She is an educational assessment mentor and accreditation evaluator for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) as well as Board of Institutional Reviewers member of the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC), and a senior research associate with Insight Assessment, LLC.
The central focus of Gittens’ research is on the interface of critical thinking, motivation, mathematical reasoning, and academic achievement of adolescents and young adults from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Dr. Gittens is an author or co-author of numerous articles and assessment tools focusing on critical thinking skills, numeracy, and dispositions in children and adults. As of this writing, her forthcoming paper is “Assessing Numeracy in the Upper Elementary and Middle School Years.”

A book of made-up example stories centered around the social lives of college students...
By Peter A. DeSimone
Forced to rent this textbook for an "Effective Thinking" (Psychology) class... Book is way too verbose. Examples seem contrived, like the authors are trying too hard to make the material seem "relevant" to college students. Most of the examples are made-up stories centered around the social lives of college students (e.g. a college girl who gets drunk in a nightclub and winds up screaming at another girl, only to later realize she may have embarrassed herself in front of a "cute guy" from her Communications class)... Sorry, but as an older student, I cannot relate to any of this. What's worse, my professor quizzes us on the most trivial details from the book (presumably to make sure we actually do the reading assignments). The result is that I find myself skimming a sparse and fluff-filled text for such trivia, rather than key concepts that, if present at all, are thoroughly buried. Not a great use of my time.

Meh!
By justin j seignemartin
This book seems to be written for elementary or high school level education. The material was useful specifically the last chapter and I wouldnt have bought it had it not been so cheap in the used section.

God Awful
By A Customer
Only got this book because of a class otherwise it would have never seen the light of day. This book has way too many movie references and stupid scenario that doesn't help make the reader understand the examples any better, in fact it confuses a lot. Overall, I CANNOT recommend this book to anyone.
