Good book, especially for people that are just starting university and who may need a good "tutorial" for learning a solid reading and writing method.These dispositions, which can be seen as attitudes or habits of mind, include openand fair-mindedness, inquisitiveness, flexibility, a propensity to seek reason, a desire to be wellinformed, and a respect for and willingness to entertain diverse viewpoints.
