About this ebook
In this book you will find many “what if” questions to use for critical thinking, writing topics, or to just wonder what it would be like if only it were true.
This book is written by a college professor who has had to think of many ideas for her students to write.
From social psychology to politics to history to fun, this is a great teaching textbook.
