I have updated the broken links and added the weblogs and books you recommended. This page needs to be thouroughly updated and restructured. It started out as a wiki page, then when I got sick of maintaining a copy of MediaWiki just for this page, so I moved it onto the blog. There is plenty of junk on here now and the resources are badly described. This year I will make it a goal to tidy it up properly. Thanks for the input and suggestions! Thanks Michael.

A couple of things (in no particular order): 1. I'm no so sure about Buzan and de Bono... they're both borderline cranks IMHO. 2. The link to the critical thinking mini-guide has changed, it's now here: http://philosophy.hku.hk/think/misc/ex-public-1.pdf 3. Overcoming bias (http://www.overcomingbias.com/) is an absolutely superb critical thinking blog. 4. <i>Mistakes Were Made (but not by me)</i> by Tavris & Aronson is the best critical thinking book I've read in quite a while -- check it out. 5. I rather disliked Wheen's <i>How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered the World</i>. Check out my review: http://ionian-enchantment.blogspot.com/2008/03/book-review-how-mumbo-jumbo-conquered.html 6. van Gelder has a blog (http://rtnl.wordpress.com/) and an audio podcast was made of one of his critical thinking courses, but I can't seem to find it now. 7. There are lots and lots of great skeptical blogs, but my favs: Bad Science, NeuroLogica & Science-Based Medicine. and, finally, 8. I can't believe you didn't mention <i>Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science</i> by Martin Gardner! :-) This is an excellent resource! A couple of things (in no particular order):
