Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Statements and propositions are the most basic building blocks of logical arguments. They can only be true or false, and they can't be both true and false in the same sense under the same circumstances. #2 A good critical thinker must learn to identify claims that are true, or most likely seem true, while avoiding claims that are best judged false. A good critical thinker will recognize and admit when they do not know whether a claim is true or false. #3 The distinction between strong assertions and mere opinions is that strong assertions are claims that are true or false, while mere opinions are not. However, opinions are still claims that can be challenged and criticized. #4 A simple claim is a single subject-predicate formula, for example, It is a cat. A complex claim is a claim logically composed of two or more claims or statements connected by special words or ideas called logical operators. The truth conditions of complex claims are determined not only by the simple claims from which they are constructed but also by the operators used to combine them.
'Unputdownable ... An extraordinary book ... as insightful and as premonitory as Orwell's 1984' Litro'With echoes of Emily St John Mandel and Megan Hunter' Elizabeth Macneal'Stylish and thoughtful ...

Elkanah Watson (1758-1842) travelled everywhere and associated with everyone--soldiers, politicians, diplomats, Indians, artists, scientists, slave traders and abolitionists. He met the Marquis de Lafayette, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Paine and many other American revolutionaries. At 19, he smuggled funds for the Revolution from Rhode Island to South Carolina in the midst of the war, while starting diaries he would keep throughout his life. Returning, he moved from New England to France, carrying letters from Congress to Benjamin Franklin in Paris before setting himself up as a merchant supplying arms to America. As the Revolutionary War came to a close, he delivered the United States' final messages to British Prime Minister Lord Shelburne. His tour of England impressed upon him the value of canals, new industries and enlightened agriculture, which he championed upon returning to America. Watson's travels in the U.S., Europe and Canada come to life in this illustrated biography based on his diaries and notes, and his vast collection of unpublished documents.

Introduction to Clinical Mental Health Counseling presents a broad overview of the field of clinical mental health and provides students with the knowledge and skills to successfully put theory into practice in real-world settings. Drawing from their experience as clinicians, authors Joshua C. Watson and Michael K. Schmit cover the foundations of clinical mental health counseling along with current issues, trends, and population-specific considerations. The text introduces students to emerging paradigms in the field such as mindfulness, behavioral medicine, neuroscience, recovery-oriented care, provider care, person-centered treatment planning, and holistic wellness, while emphasizing the importance of selecting evidence-based practices appropriate for specific clients, issues, and settings. Aligned with 2016 CACREP Standards and offering practical activities and case examples, the text will prepare future counselors for the realities of clinical practice.
