About this title

Synopsis:

Key Benefit: The market leader in argumentative rhetorics, Writing Arguments has proven highly successful in teaching individuals to read arguments critically and to produce effective arguments of their own. Key Topics: In its reader–friendly tone, clear explanations, high–interest readings and examples, and well–sequenced critical thinking and writing assignments, Writing Arguments offers a time–tested approach to argument that is interesting and accessible to students and eminently teachable for instructors. Throughout the book, the authors approach argument rhetorically by emphasizing audience and context at every stage of the construction of an argument. Writing Arguments moves readers beyond a simplistic debate model of argument to a view of argument as inquiry and consensus–building as well as persuasion, in which the arguer negotiates with others in search of the best solutions to problems.Key Market: Individuals interested in developing their argumentative writing skills.

From the Back Cover:

In order to establish credibility with an audience - be it co-workers, town officials or administrators, or friends - people need to know the appropriate rules for arguing. This book offers the most effective combination of rhetoric and readings of any argument books available with out the selection of readings available in the longer version. This book strongly emphasizes argument as the social act it is and treats the topic as a means of clarification and truth-seeking as well as a means of persuading an audience. Designed for anyone who wants to learn the "proper" way to creating an argument in writing or in speech, this book is unsurpassable.
