Description
In an age of information, knowledge can be hard to come by - education must equip us to transform information for our own individual requirements. Full citizenship of the world requires that we learn to reason and communicate, but how do we do it? This book shares insights into how people process information, and how we use that information to reason, make decisions, and develop theories about the world in which we live.
