"The strength of Thinking and Reasoning is its
comprehensiveness. It covers not only the most important topics,
from categorisation and reasoning to decision making and problem
solving, but also other major perspectives on thinking such as
expertise and developmental issues. The book also examines more
recent topics, such as teaching thinking and creativity, which are
not to be found in older textbooks. In general this is an excellent
text: readable, comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date. I would be
surprised if this did not become the major undergraduate text in
the area for several years to come." European Journal of
Cognitive Psychology
"An outstanding work, which should be recognized both in the UK and the USA as the best introduction to the psychology of thinking. It is comprehensive and lucidly written - an impressive book." Professor P. N. Johnson-Laird, Princeton University
"Garnham and Oakhill present their book under the guise of an objective text for 'intermediate and advanced undergraduate students'. It is, however, delightfully informative and charmingly opinionated. It should be read by upper-division under-graduate and graduate students, faculty, and researchers, as well as two-year technical program students." P. L. Derks, College of William and Mary
