Critical thinking is a truly fantastic skill to acquire and everyday you'll be thankful that you did. I've now acquired an entire army of Critical thinking books to select from.

1. If you can only afford one book, the greatest book is "asking the right questions" in it's 9th edition. It's not geared towards an exam syllabus, but is life changing.

2. For an exam syllabus, the OCR AS level Critical thinking books are brilliant, especially vol 1 & 2. The entire set is 4 books, which covers the entire A Level. They are easy to read, visually very well laid out, and utterly marvellous.

3. The author of this book, is one of the guru's in critical thinking.

The advantage that Roy Van Den Brink Budgen brings is in analysing and breaking down arguments. He teaches arguments as a simple diagram. Sounds easy, but incredibly powerful. This book covers the second year of an A level, but with a much lighter touch (but just as effective).

He also explores logical fallacies, such as slippery slope strawman, in quite extensive detail. This means you can pick over others arguments and neutralise them - there is another book called "How to win every argument" which details this defensive topic on it's own, (and comes highly recommended).

So the conclusion is that if you're a student, looking to gain higher grades by analysing the arguments for your case, and the weaknesses in others, this one book is a very nice, light one stop shop. It's specifically designed for students, but not necessarily the full A Level course.

Learning to visualise arguments is a winning tool, as once dissected, you can block the other sides case.
Putting this into your assignments, means a dramatic rise in your grading, and a stunned look from your professors, as critical thinking is such a rare skill, it shines out.

For anyone doing critical assessments I found this book excellent and to the point. As a mature student, I was struggling to fully understand how to write critically but I 'got' it after reading this! I found it explained things much easier/clearer than the Cottrell Study book. Highly recommended. It was a used book which came in excellent condition.
