Providing an accessible foundation of what critical thinking is, why it’s important, and how to apply these skills, this book explores the psychological and social reasons of why human beings tend to find credence in extraordinary claims. The book then shows how critical thinking skills are used to evaluate specific pseudoscientific arenas by applying scientific methods from various disciplines.
