Critics Review
“This is a most revolutionary book, and I would love to teach a course using it! There is much interest in what is variously termed quantitative literacy (QL), quantitative reasoning (QR), and critical thinking (CT). This book is the first in a series of Texts for Quantitative Critical Thinking … . I do not want to fail to mention that the book’s layout is simply beautiful.” (Paul J. Campbell, Mathematics Magazine, Vol. 92 (1), November, 2018)
