No skill is more important in today's world than being able to think about, understand, and act on information in an effective and responsible way. What's more, at no point in human history have we had access to so much information, with such relative ease, as we do in the 21st century. But because misinformation out there has increased as well, critical thinking is more important than ever. These 24 rewarding lectures equip you with the knowledge and techniques you need to become a savvier, sharper critical thinker in your professional and personal life.

What part of memory is reliable fact, what part creative embellishment? Which favorite presuppositions are unfounded, which statistically biased? By conjoining two opposing mind-sets - the suspension of disbelief required in storytelling and the skepticism inherent in the scientific method - best-selling mathematician John Allen Paulos has created an unusual hybrid, a composite of personal memories and mathematical approaches to reevaluating them.

The author that got me into science: what a gift
Revisado: 12-09-15
Way back when a friend of mine recommended Innumeracy, (I believe) the first(ish) by Dr. Paulos. This work had a profound influence on my life; sure I was good at math, but, not really. I was innumerate, but, at least I had finally realized it.
I bought the audio version of this mostly because that other book I read some 15 years ago wasn't available, if only to show my appreciation to the author.
However, man, once again, the author delivers a critical jolt to my scientific thinking.
If you've come this far, just click "buy" and thank Dr. P later.
