Palgrave Handbook of Critical Thinking in Higher Education
ISBN: 978 1 1373 7803 3, Symposia review in Inquiry: Critical Thinking across the Disciplines.  April, 2015, Amazon ★★★★★

“A sweeping, landmark collection of perspectives on theory and practice from key thinkers and practitioners. This is a must read book for anyone who wants to know what critical thinking is, or might be, in higher education”. Professor Richard James, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Director, Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education, The University of Melbourne, Australia

“The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Thinking in Higher Education edited by Martin Davies and Ronald Barnett is a comprehensive and systematic treatment of critical thinking with philosophical approaches balanced by chapters that address its teaching and incorporation in the curriculum, and the relation of critical thinking to culture, to the cognitive sciences, to the professions and to society. In short, it is an indispensable guide and state-of-the-art compendium of critical thinking in the academy.”  Professor Michael A. Peters, Professor of Education, University of Waikato, New Zealand, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, USA.

“‘Critical thinking’ is one of the key aims of higher education. But what is it? And, does it mean the same thing in all fields, disciplines and cultures? While insisting on the importance of critical thinking in higher education, this book problematises and debates what it means, and how it may be developed and implemented in curriculum. It fills a key gap in the literature, and in curricular and policy debates.”Professor Leesa Wheelahan, William G. Davis Chair in Community College Leadership, Ontario Institute of Studies for Education, University of Toronto, Canada

‘I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Succinct, systematic, accessible and extremely thorough, this carefully edited collection courtesy of Profs. Barnett and Davies, is a must-have for anyone who wishes to understand more about the nature and role of criticality in, not only higher education, but all walks of life. Educators and policy-makers, moreover, anyone with an interest in cogent thinking and argumentation, especially with regard to the type of reflexive society criticality endeavours to forge and develop will find this a thoroughly rewarding read.’  Dr Gerard Dunne Jnr, Trinity College, Dublin, Amazon.com  ★★★★★

‘A substantial collection of essays exploring the connection between critical thinking and higher education’. Dr David Wright Inquiry: Critical Thinking across the Curriculum, 30(2), 2015, pp. 54-62.

‘This volume provides an informed, current and extensive basis to inspire further research and debate’.  Dr Judie Cross Journal of Organizational Knowledge Communication, School of Education, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Wollongong.

‘The Handbook’s Editors [are] masters, not of spin, but of superbly written understatement, and fluent argument’. Dr Dennis Bryant Australian Universities’ Review Vol. 58 (1), 97-98.

‘What is critical thinking, really? The book has loads of ideas. Sometimes I would open the book and read the table of contents, wistfully dreaming of a time I could read the whole thing from cover to cover. … I’m impressed by you Palgrave Handbook of Critical thinking in Higher Education’.The Thesis Whisperer.

‘Davies and Barnett provide a useful overview in the introduction to their anthology “The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Thinking.” Some theories of critical thinking emphasize skepticism in the face of political and intellectual authority. Some theories emphasize the ability to distinguish appeals to emotion from appeals to evidence. Some theories emphasize the ability to parse arguments and detect fallacies. Some other theories emphasize metacognition and the ability to articulate one’s own cognitive processes. Each discipline probably contributes in varying degrees to each of these skills’. Charles Rathkopf, Daily Nous: News for and about the Philosophy Profession.

“In my estimation the book belongs in the library of every university and college in the country just for the sweep and scope of what it covers”.  Professor Frank Fair, Editor of Inquiry: Critical Thinking Across the Disciplines. Sam Houston State University, Texas.

“There is much value to be found in each of the five essays reviewed here …They evidence a need for further research into the area of social perspectives on critical thinking, while offering useful initial insights into this area”. Maria Sanders, Plymouth State University in Inquiry: Critical Thinking Across the Disciplines.

“Critical thinking” has become a buzzword … It is found in virtually every college and university mission statement.  Yet simultaneously, its vagueness has been deplored and its intellectual respectability correspondingly denigrated. … This situation may be changing. An encouraging sign was the appearance in 2015 of the big Palgrave Handbook of Critical Thinking in Higher Education. It’s a 650-page collection of 36 articles representing a wide variety of issues related to the conception , the value and the pedagogy of critical thinking. Emertius Professor J. Anthony Blair, Studies in Critical Thinking. Windsor Studies in Argumentation (2019).

Davies, M., (2022).  Study Skills for Postgraduate Students. (2nd Edition.) Bloomsbury: UK. ISBN: 978-1-3520-1301-6.  5 star ranking on Amazon ★★★★★ 

‘Davies’ updated and revised edition of Study Skills for International Postgraduates is an invaluable step-by-step guide for navigating the graduate education process. The activities and checklists in each chapter are extremely useful and effective exercises for acquiring the skills necessary for successful completion of postgraduate work and beyond’. Professor Kristen P. Williams, Clark University.

Study Skills for International Postgraduates is a great asset for students starting or continuing higher degree study. It is packed full of clear and lively step-by-step guides on developing academic style and language, tackling different assignment formats, referencing and research skills. The chapters on getting started, critical thinking, referencing, digital skills, class participation and group presentations mirror the ways lecturer expectations and assessments are changing in postgraduate study.’ Caroline Malthus, Unitec Institute of Technology, NZ.

Study Skills for International Postgraduates is an excellent introduction to the culture and demands of Anglo-American post-graduate education. The sections on how to construct papers are especially useful, even for those already familiar with Anglo-American practices. This is a valuable “how-to” manual for those undertaking study abroad.” Professor Herman Schwartz, University of Virginia.

“Extensive in its coverage, Study Skills for International Postgraduates is written in a friendly, accessible style and is sure to be a great, practical resource for international students. Professor Hayo Reinders, Middlesex University, UK

“The most concrete and practical guide on the market on how to achieve a postgraduate degree, with a maximum of how-to skills and competencies. Lotte Rienecker, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

“All in all, the book provides an excellent tool to support students wishing to reflect upon and improve their academic writing skills in relation to a variety of assessment types, mostly used in social sciences and humanities. It offers clear guidance, examples and easy to follow visuals and tables that unpack different formats and writing styles. There is a wealth of practical tips in relation to each form of assessment and step by step activities that students can complete at their pace to enhance their writing and communicative confidence in English for academic purposes.”  Dr Silvia Colaiacomo, UCL. Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education, 24 (2022)

“The book delivers wisdom, both historic and forward-looking, making it ideal as a reference tool to take the newly arrived international postgrad, for whom it is primarily intended, from the early days of settling in and making friends, through their academic programme, closing with suggestions about doctoral research. Offering the book to all incoming international students as part of a ‘welcome pack’ would be an excellent idea. …  Academics who might be teaching these same international postgraduates would benefit from reading the book, firstly to enhance their knowledge of the challenges faced by their students and secondly to identify approaches which they could incorporate into their future pedagogical approach. Indeed, with international students’ relevance and their importance to many HE Institutions it would make good sense for this book to become required reading for both newly appointed academics, through their PG Certificates in Higher Education or Academic Professional Apprenticeships, so that they could develop their pedagogy from its inception with the international student in mind.”  Dr Ivan Newman, Higher Education Specialist. Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education, 24 (2022).

Davies, M., (2011). Study Skills for Postgraduate Students. (1st Edition). MacMillan Palgrave Press: UK. ISBN: 978 1 4039 9580 3.  5 star ranking on Amazon ★★★★★ 

“Extremely comprehensive and detailed, Study Skills for International Postgraduates is a ‘must-have’ for all graduate students. The writing is clear and concise, with excellent descriptions and examples provided throughout. Students will find the suggestions for time management, study skills, and organizing research and the writing process invaluable.” Associate Professor Kristen P. Williams, Clark University.

“This book outlines the core skills vital for successful postgraduate study. It will not only assist international postgraduates but will prove a useful guidebook for any student embarking on the postgraduate journey.”  Dr Dennis Grube, Griffith University, Australia.

“The advice and tips I read here are invaluable for both research and course-work international students. This book could also be a good refresher to local postgrad students, especially if they have been out of the university system for a while. … I feel if had just read this book 3.5 years ago and followed its tips, it would have saved me precious time with counselors and coping strategies.” The Thesis Whisperer,  Sandra J. Velarde, Crawford School, Australian National University.

“[Study Skills] seems to be an area of publishing, as with dictionaries, where a new title is always desirable. It could be argued that what customers frequently get is the same advice in a new package. That is not the case here. This book by Australian academic advisor, Martin Davies, goes into greater depth and detail in relation to the chosen topics … Particularly useful sections are writing a critical review, annotated bibliography, literature reviews and the argument analysis in the chapter ‘Critical thinking’. Overall, the book contains many useful strategies that are, in fact, relevant to both international and local postgraduate students. Let’s hope that all students see themselves as the ‘international’ target group and benefit from the study advice”. Dr Caroline MalthusHigher Education Research and Development, Vol 32(1), 156-159.

“I am POSITIVE that I want to do the translation [into Arabic]. Every year, thousands of Arab International students are joining U.S. universities; however, they face an academic shock instead of a cultural shock. Your book is a great source that will strongly support them in their academic journey. It will further introduce them to the Western and to the American teaching and learning styles”. Dr Shahbaa Zaidan, University of Texas at El Paso.

“As a guide to the essentials for postgraduate study, Martin Davies’ book is a valuable source of information for both postgraduate students and their advisors alike. It includes practical advice on all aspects of the experience from ‘basic survival skills’ such as ‘managing information collected’ to critical thinking, oral presentations and writing a research proposal. As a model of a thoroughly researched, logically ordered and beautifully written work, this book is second to none”. Dr Helen Thursby Learning Advisor with the Newcastle University Postgraduate Students Association (University of Newcastle, Australia). Amazon.com★★★★★

“I found this book for those students hoping to gain a basic understanding of postgraduate student very good. Although it is primarily for international students, I found that as a domestic student this publication touched on aspects that certainly benefited me. It told me all that I wanted to know about the mysteries of postgraduate study in a language simple to understand because it’s written for international students–English not their mother tongue.” Amazon.com.★★★★

The best thing about this book is the can do attitude it fosters in readers. It’s an absolute godsend for international students and the examples are really matter of fact and makes it easy to grasp the different concepts.” Amazon.com★★★★★

“I am an international student and I found this book extremely useful. I had browsed a couple of other books on the similar topic and this one is absolutely the best. It is so well-structured that it provides step-by-step guidance to key skills required to successfully complete a postgraduate research. It has a lot of hands-on examples and exercises. The writing is very concise and the language style itself is a very good example to follow. Love the charts and graphs that enable quick understanding of complex concepts or procedures. Something very abstract and difficult such as what is critical thinking has been explained so clearly. I followed the steps suggested in the book in writing up a literature review and got a very impressive mark. Definitely a five-star book!” Amazon.com★★★★★

This is a collection of great richness and diversity which deserves a wide readership and consideration. The contribution of international colleagues underscores the rationale of the book, that interdisciplinarity has never been as central as it now is in discussions of the structures of higher education necessary in the new century.” Professor Peter McPhee, Former Provost, University of Melbourne.

“Not only is this book important for practitioners in the field, it is important for educators … This book reminds us how crucial the pursuit of interdisciplinarity in higher educations and provides a great deal of insight to help us achieve it”. Dr Damian Ruth, Massey University, Higher Education Research and Development, Vol 30, No, 6 (2011) pp. 827-829.

“This book is a valuable resource for university staff wishing to engage in interdisciplinary research or teaching, or to design or manage interdisciplinary teams or degree programmes. It provides extensive theoretical discussion of the nature of interdisciplinary activity and a treasure trove of thoughtful reports from Australian and international practitioners on the practicalities of engaging in such work”. Dr Neil Mudford, Australian Universities’ Review Vol 54, No. 2, (2012): pp. 92-93.

“The organization and diverse content of this volume make it an ideal resource for metered doses of theory and practice of interdisciplinary higher education. Portions of the book may assist in the development of interdisciplinary collaborations by providing a common language for discussion among scholars across diverse academic disciplines. Interdisciplinary Higher Education could serve as a valuable resource for graduate students as they develop awareness about distinctions between theory and practice. The volume will be of major interest to academic deans, curriculum developers, and assessment professionals who are leaders in conversations about interdisciplinary programs – from conceptual ideas to implementation.”  Dr Marcia Allen Owens, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Teaching Theology and Religion (2013), Vol 16(2): pp. 191-192.

Davies, W. M.,
and Sievers, K. H. (2006) The Nature of Knowing. Ibid Press: Melbourne, Australia ISBN: 987 1 876659 01 1

“Knowledge, according to Martin Davies and Kenneth Sievers, is an organic process involving situated knowers in a world of facts and information which require interpretation, as such, ‘the knower begins to interpret this information by means of various ways of knowing and drawing upon, and influencing, a number of areas of knowledge’. Davies and Sievers identify four ways of knowing; emotion, reason, language, and sense perception and recognise the six areas of knowledge which parallel the discipline divisions in all major world universities. These areas of knowledge are broadly categorised as natural and human sciences, mathematics, the arts, ethics and history”. Karen Ann Austin (2016).

Davies, W. M., (2003) The Thought of Sir William Mitchell 1861-1962: A Mind’s Own Place. Funded by The Australian Research Council and ArtsSA. [Won the $22,000 H. J. Allen Prize in Philosophy, University of Adelaide]. Studies in the History of Philosophy, Volume 73. Edwin Mellen Press: Lewiston, USA. Full length reviews in the Australasian Journal of Philosophy, and Australian Book Review. ISBN: 0 7734 6733 5

Mitchell didn’t produce a New Grand Theory, so much as solid psycho-philosophical work in the service of the realist-materialist paradigm, conditioned by traces of the nineteenth century idealism which he was escaping. In bringing him to our attention in such detail and with such clarity, Davies has done Australian philosophy, and Adelaide in particular, a fine service. He is to be thanked for it.” Professor Chris Mortensen, University of Adelaide, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, (2005), 83 (2): pp. 298-300.

“[Mitchell’s] writing was not always lucid, and he was overshadowed by Anderson and the developments in Linguistic philosophy … That obscurity Davies has set himself to remedy, in a long, detailed and carefully argued study. It is a book for specialists. Sensitive to idealist concerns, deeply interested in science, Mitchell is as remarkable for the range of influences he absorbed as for an originality that in many ways is discernible only now against the backdrop of contemporary developments. Davies exposes not only Mitchell’s views but also those of important contemporaries he has anticipated, particularly in cognitive science, developmental psychology and philosophy of mind. Mitchell has been neglected as an idealist from whom our scientifically minded contemporaries have nothing to learn. Davies succeeds admirably in showing that to be an error, and in doing so recasts the historical landscape of Australian philosophy”. Dr Thomas Pataki, Australian Book Review, April 2004, p. 42.

“This is an excellent thesis and I single it out for special commendation”. Emeritus Professor J. J. C. Smart.

“Reading Mitchell is hard work. … In a recent book Marty Davies makes out a good case that Mitchell was, contrary to some opinions, no idealist. Rather, he was an early philosophical psychologist, interested in mental categories, particularly from a developmental point of view. In this respect, he was anticipating the flowering in South Australia of the scientific side of philosophy, which flourished spectacularly later under [J. J. C.] Smart.” Professor Chris Mortensen, The Antipodean Philosopher: Public Lectures on Philosophy in Australia and New Zealand (2011). G. Oppy and N. Trakarkis (Eds).

“Mitchell asserts that though changes in consciousness are tied and grounded in ‘brain-change’, a full analysis of the brain’s physical processes, though valuable, would not be able to bridge that chasm between this sort of knowledge, and experience (These type of assertions lend credence to W. Martin Davies recent work presenting Mitchell as a precursor to the ‘new mysterians’). Mitchell insists that an analysis of the mind requires both an analysis of the collection of feeling-qualities which determine the self, and a study of the physical structure of the brain which is the necessary correlate to the feelings of the consciousness.” Jared Michelson, University of St Andrews. ‘The Place of Minds in the World’ The Gifford Lectures: Over 100 Years of Lectures on Natural Theology. 

“I was very impressed by this thesis. The subject is difficult, in view of the notorious obscurity of Mitchell’s thought, but Davies has done an excellent job of straightening it out and organising the strong and weak points, and explaining it in very readable prose. The thesis is equally strong on philosophy and history. It demonstrates Mitchell is a thinker of considerable interest, one of the best independent thinkers in the history of Australian ideas”. Professor James Franklin, University of New South Wales.

Full length reviews in the Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Psyche, Canadian Philosophical Quarterly and Metascience. ISBN: 1 85972 342 X

“This is an impressively wide-ranging book. … An awful lot of ground is covered. But there is plenty of detailed argument.” Professor Frank Jackson, Australian National University.

This is a substantial work. Its overall plan is well-conceived. For the most part, the separate discussions are thorough, and demonstrate a good knowledge of a rather considerable literature.” Professor Philip Cam, University of NSW.

“Davies addresses the issue of whether experiential content is inferential, in the sense that content depends on some or all of various ‘high level features’ including background knowledge, existing concepts, theories or language. Different varieties within this inferentialist camp are distinguished and the term covers the views of Descartes, Kant, Sellars, Armstrong and the Churchlands, amongst others. … It is very rich in its discussion of the literature and is careful, though also bold, in exegesis. At the same time, it develops a consistent overarching view. The work is a rich resource. … I learned an enormous amount from it.” Dr David Lumsden, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Vol. 76, No. 3. September: pp. 508-510.

“… There is much to recommend about his book. It is extraordinarily ambitious. He uses his account to consider a far ranging array of topics including Kant on cognition, Kuhn on theory change, the philosophy of colour, property dualism, Fodor on the modularity of mind, Churchland on eliminative materialism, Sellars on the myth of the given and the scientific image, and Nagel on what it is like to be a bat. Much of this discussion is good and some of it, particularly the chapters on Fodor and Churchland, is excellent. … Much of the book rewards careful reading”. Professor Andew Latus, Philosophy in Review Vol 18, No. 2, April (1998): pp. 92-94.

… [Davies’ book] presents a detailed and sustained argument for a thesis as to how the contents of experience, as a natural phenomenon, are fixed. More precisely, he advances a taxonomy of the contents of experience, and a view of the relations between them, with respect to the various roles that such contents may play in a cognitive economy. … Davies’ book is impressively wide-ranging, and should be of interest to anyone concerned with how issues in epistemology, philosophy of science, and philosophy of mind may be connected’. V. Popescu. Metascience June (1998): pp. 144-148.

“Fascinating. This book is an exploration of experiential content and the extent to which it is influenced by high-level cognitive factors (knowledge, beliefs, language, etc.). The author presents a ‘continuum theory’ as an alternative to the ‘inferentialist position’, and claims that experience is an amalgam of of both inferential and non-inferential features. This is a detailed account of a rather technical subject in the philosophy of mind, yet the author manages to write with an admirable clarity which makes the book surprisingly readable”. S.F. Smith.
