Thinking Critically
The Thinking Critically series introduces students to the complex issues that dominate public discourse and challenges them to become
discerning readers, to think independently, and to engage and develop their skills as critical thinkers. Chapters are organized in a pro/
con format, in which a single author synthesizes the predominant arguments for and against an issue into clear, accessible discussions
supported by details and evidence including relevant facts, direct quotes and current examples.

Understanding Suicide: A National Epidemic
Suicide is among the top three causes of death for young people ages 15 to 24. More broadly, it is a national epidemic touching people of
all ages--from those who consider and attempt suicide to those left behind after a loved one commits suicide. Author Connie Goldsmith
examines the risk factors for suicide (including mental illness, substance abuse, domestic abuse, and bullying) as well as preventive
measures that can help people control and mitigate those risk factors.
