This concise book is an intriguing way to foster critical thinking and reinforce the scientific method in your biology course. It expands on the experiments offered in Biology, with 21 chapters devoted to discussions of classic genetics or molecular biology experiments-many on which the study of biology is founded. This short companion is intended to ... provide students with a closer look at some key experiments, as a way of learning how a proper experiment is put together, of seeing how control works, of appreciating the raw originality that sometimes adds flavor and excitement to science-and, above all, of seeing how science is really done. Clean, clear thinking lies at the heart of every good experiment.

Students in science courses, and scientists themselves will find their analytical abilities enhanced by the engaging framework of inquiry set forth by Richard Paul and Linda Elder in this guide. As part of the Thinker’s Guide Library, this book advances the mission of the Foundation for Critical Thinking to promote fairminded critical societies through cultivating essential intellectual abilities and virtues across every field of study across world.

What are scientists working on today? What do they worry about? What do they think about the working of the brain, climate change, animal experimentation, cancer, and mental illness? Is science progressing or in retreat? Is this century humankind's last? These are just some of the compelling and provocative questions tackled here by twelve of the world's leading scientists and scientific thinkers. In engaging and lucid discussion, they clarify many of the most urgent scientific challenges and dilemmas facing science today. Essential reading for anyone interested in popular science, What Scientists Think is edited and written by Jeremy Stangroom of the highly successful The Philosopher's Magazine and includes a foreword by Marek Kohn, author of A Reason for Everything: Natural Selection and the British Imagination.

WHY NOT LEARN TO THINK LIKE EINSTEIN? He attributed his success entirely to common sense. But what is common Sense Thinking? They don't tell us in class because scholars don't know how it works; it's buried too deep inside us. So the author, who is a Space astronomer, has spent a lifetime unearthing it. Common Sense turns out to have nothing whatever to do with IQ, or with passing exams; it has to do with Curiosity, with the deliberate gathering of evidence, with a willingness to change one's mind, and with the patience to wait until the Odds look decisive. But these COMMON SENSE THINKING SKILLS ARE THE VERY SKILLS OF THE DETECTIVE AS WELL AS THE SCIENTIST; WE CAN ALL LEARN THEM IF WE WANT TO, WHATEVER OUR EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTS. To think efficiently for ourselves we require the right information and the right tools. At last the Internet is bringing an increasing flood of the kind of information we need to make crucial decisions for ourselves, and not have to rely any longer on expensive and often unreliable experts. But do we have the right mental tools? We do and we don't. We do because Nature has embedded deep within us the sophisticated mental mechanisms needed to survive in the perilous Stone-age out of which we evolved. We don't, in the sense that we don't know how those tools work, and so we cannot adapt them for best use in a modern world full of culture and technology. The author has unearthed those ingenious and previously unrecognised tools which Nature evolved for dealing with conflicting evidence, for discounting bad clues, and for weighing up all the pros and cons.THE AIM OF THIS BOOK IS TO OPEN NATURE'S TOOL-BAG AND DEMONSTRATE HER MENTAL TOOLS WORKING ONE BY ONE. THE READER WILL END UP EQUIPPED WITH AN INDISPENSABLE BOY-SCOUT'S PENKNIFE FOR THE THINKING MIND.THE BOOK IS AIMED AT TWO KINDS OF READERS: THOSE WHO FEEL THEY ARE EDUCATED - AND THOSE WHO FEEL THEY ARE NOT. The educated ones will discover that they have not learned Common Sense Thinking at school or university, and badly need to - while the uneducated ones will find that dropping out of education is no handicap if they now decide that they do want to think seriously and well. Anyone aged 14 or over could master it.The approach is to work through numerous stories and examples, some serious, some light-hearted, all hopefully interesting and relevant. THE BOOK IS REALLY A SERIES OF DETECTIVE STORIES IN WHICH WE LEARN TO WORK OUT ROUGH ODDS ON THE VARIOUS SUSPECTS (IDEAS) BEING GUILTY.There are plenty of exercises for those who want to practice, with worked answers available free on the Internet.Topics covered include: -Different kinds of Thinking-How scientists think and decide-How to weight clues-How to reckon the Odds-Woolly thinking-The Elephants in the room (Systematic Errors)-Animal Intelligence-Numbers and Errors in Thinking-Why we don't need Statistics any more.-Common mistakes in Thinking and Deciding-The extraordinary history of Thinking-What is Science, and what is not?-The meteoric ascent of mankind. What on Earth happened?There are 16 chapters. Two hours devoted to each should equip the reader with the tools needed to go about tackling the hardest mental problems in life.

Scientific Thinking is a practical guide to inductive reasoning—the sort of reasoning that is commonly used in scientific activity, whether such activity is performed by a scientist, a reporter, a political pollster, or any one of us in day-to-day life. The book provides comprehensive coverage of such topics as confirmation, sampling, correlations, causality, hypotheses, and experimental methods. Martin’s writing confounds those who would think that such topics must be dry-as-dust, presenting ideas in a lively and engaging tone and incorporating amusing examples throughout. This book underlines the importance of acquiring good habits of scientific thinking, and helps to instill those habits in the reader. Stimulating questions and exercises are included in each chapter.

No one doubts that science underlies every tangible aspect of our lives, but few people apply its systematic style of thinking to improve their communication styles. To get the most out of science, it's important to understand science as a style of thinking rather than just a forbidding collection of facts and mathematics. Individuals who learn how scientists collect evidence, evaluate facts, and draw conclusions can improve their own thought processes and overcome shortcomings. Written by a trained engineer and communications expert, this guidebook provides the tools you need to sharpen your thinking skills, hone your communication skills, refine your evaluation of data, and improve your objectivity. You'll also learn important theories and ways of thinking from scientists and scholars such as Albert Einstein, Aristotle, Marshall McLuhan, Werner Heisenberg, and many others. By sharing case studies and questioning assumptions, author Allan Laurence Brooks provides a roadmap that allows you to immediately improve your communication with others. Leave obstacles behind and approach life like a scientist with Think Smart, Talk Smart.

Scientific thinking must be understood as an activity. The acts of interpretation, representation, and explanation are the cognitive processes by which scientific thinking leads to understanding. The book explores the nature of these processes and describes how scientific thinking can only be grasped from a pragmatic perspective.
