Ethics for Life provides students with an ethics curriculum that has been shown to significantly improve students' ability to make real-life moral decisions. Solidly based in the latest research on the moral development of college students, it provides learners with a broad overview of the major world moral philosophies, as well as case studies based on real-life issues. Ethics for Life examines ethics in a historical and interdisciplinary context, offering a more holistic approach that is designed for meaningful application to students' own lives and challenges.

THiNK is a multicultural and interdisciplinary introductory critical-thinking textbook that offers core content and pedagogy in a succinct format that provides students with the skills necessary to make and commit to decisions in their lives based on reason and logic. THiNK also offers students extensive opportunity for application and practice, to develop and apply their critical-thinking skills.Each chapter in THiNK addresses a different topic related to critical thinking, beginning with presenting the basic critical-thinking skills in Chapters 1 to 6.  Chapters 7 and 8 apply these skills to analyzing inductive and deductive arguments.  Chapters 9 to 13 provide flexibility to the instructor, as each of these chapters involves applying the critical skills studied in Chapters 1 to 8 to a different contemporary issue (e.g., Mass Media; Science; Marketing & Advertising).  The major sections in each chapter are followed by a series of engaging application exercises.

Synopsis: It is a biographical book. Many years ago, the few readers of radical Abolitionist papers must often have seen the singular name of Sojourner Truth, announced as a frequent speaker at Anti-Slavery meetings, and as travelling on a sort of self-appointed agency through the country. I had myself often remarked the name, but never met the individual. On one occasion, when our house was filled with company, several eminent clergymen being our guests, notice was brought up to me that Sojourner Truth was below, and requested an interview. Knowing nothing of her but her singular name, I went down, prepared to make the interview short, as the pressure of many other engagements demanded.
