Throughout the text, the skill of critical thinking is emphasized by asking the reader to view all sides of an issue and to make informed, rational decisions based on ethical values.

Case Studies, "Exploring Science" boxes, "What Do You Think?" essays (many with "Ethical Considerations" attached), and "Think About It" boxes give students real-life examples to evaluate and a chance to practice critical thinking skills and formulate reasoned opinions. These boxes are carefully planned to build upon chapter content and are long enough to present important, real information.

End-of-chapter "Questions for Critical Thinking" are designed to stimulate creative, analytical thinking and to serve as a springboard for class discussions.
